Looks like its gonna be a perfect day for racing. A high of 61 and cloudy with only a 20% chance of rain. Perfect running weather. Anyone else coming out?

what are you complaining about?
shop cars are FAST because everyone put whole lot of hours. spend just much as you on parts.
so stop coming with that bs "shop cars are fast".
get your car done right then maybe your 1320 will improve.

I'm interested to see what the shops are bringing, too. When we ran IW '08 there was only one shop coming out with cars - everyone else was just "regular dudes". Now it looks like several shops want to play. Should be a fun season to watch.

Im doing it by myself as well except for a little help from the 2 tone hatch dude. I got my car running today and took it for a drive. The tune is sooo off but it did hit 3 psi haha. I doubt ill make it this weekend... Dont have money to pay for a tune yet. Everything else is ready to go though.

Was planning on heading up there, but due to the weather this week and a few set backs, it doesn't look like it will happen this weekend, better off not to rush things.

In the past Jordan @ Modern tuned it. Im trying to do it myself now but i have limited knowledge. Leo wont be going to the event. He is waiting on some new engine parts that will hopefully get the car to its full potential. You dont by chance have a 1600cc E85 tune do you? Atleast it might be close than what im working with. If i get it runing and boosting i will totally goto the event.

Wow, me and boostek9 drove 3.5 hours to run pro-fwd and not one other person showed to run in the class, which is the same thing that happened the first import wars this year. Hard to believe that the midwest has a import series and no one wants to support it.
