We can get lot's of Data from the dragstrip. Braking is cool, but frankly, it's a contest over who has the biggest pockets. So maybe we could get the required accelerometers and devices to throw in the car during the 1/4 times to find out 0-60 and lateral G- Forces

Doing 1/4 mile and braking will probably depend on the available space on the track. I think it'll be best to keep it simple this first time. If things go well, we can easily expand on things for the next time

I think simple is better also. One location.
8 Entrants so far
And a magazine offering to cover the event.

i think we should just keep it all in the track both full course and drag.so instead of spending time on the dyno we could just collect data's from 0-60/0-100/100-0 and maybe some lat g on a skidpad.

Here's an OT thought. Since a number of Evo owners would also like to get in on the fun, do a two day event. Saturady could be the Tuner Time Attack; Sunday could be an Open Time Attack. You'll still need to limit the number of slots for Sunday, but you should be able to field 40 to 50 cars in one day for a limited time attack if the event is well run.

Sorry about the whine ;-). (Can you tell I just tried to pay all my bills?)

You I-net guys have no idea how much this costs do you? First you mod your car to get this kind of performance (low $'s about 18K) then you spend about 4-500.00/ track day refining the package (16 track days so far this year) you get my drift?
See you at the track!
