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

And a magazine offering to cover the event.
(And this is just on the forum)

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.

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? My car is the "Buschur West" car, but still a private effort and without the GENEROUS help of BR/RRE/APR/Vivid/AEM/Stoptech/TOYO/Greddy/SPARCO (yes they helped even though I was in comptition with them how's that for a class act?) and many others it would have just been impossible. I love driving my EVO fast but can we get some of the existing press out so we can hit up sponsors for the next round of funding?
Sorry about the whine ;-). (Can you tell I just tried to pay all my bills?)
