You guys and your fancy-pantsy contraptions.... I have to pop the hood, disconnect my wastegate, turn the rod a few times, put it back, and find someplace to do WOT to see what my new boost level is... then repeat until desired level is achieved.... I really need to upgrade....

He will be on 17" drag radials and will drive the car as far as needed to prove a point... You have never been excluded from this due to how fast your car is, and I assume no-one else will be... Your use of slicks and desire to not put the car on the street has.

i already said i would do that i have a steel rod motor sitting right next to me, but im not putting a radial on my car for one event, what u guys done get is for an import it takes time to dial in a tire weather it be a slick a radial whatever i cant just put a radial on my car and go race, we would have to test 4 5 times to get the car where it is at now which im sry is alot of money when its costing me 200 300 every time i take the car out

ET's don't determine whether you are a street car or not. The fact that he can drive his car to Tennessee from here to race it, is what makes his car a street car, and yours not. If your car can't fit in these rules, just buiild one that can if you want to race in this event.

Was it you??? I think you'd be saying the same thing i did if you were strapped into my car at the top end of the track on that pass.... I won't retract my comment on that one.

Feel free to call the mustang a POS... It may very well have been (especially with a driver who left the AC on and dumped coolant all over the place). Doesn't bother me. If my stuff came apart/leaked/etc I'd pray that the worst that would have happened was to have my car called a POS on DragVA.
Thats understandable. I was around 115 when mine started getting ugly and it was scary. I'm just saying not all Honda's are shit boxes.
