I made it there for eliminations on Sunday despite a long Saturday night in Green Bay. Congrats to all the winners and congrats to my guys, Team Shadowz, as one of their cars ran their PB. Get that thing re-sleeved and get those 9's.
I also want to say thanks to Norris Prayoonto. Cool *** dude. they were calling his class to go to staging and he saw my kids wanting take a picture with his car and he waited for my kids to take a picture with his car first before going to the lanes despite the announcer rushing them. Doin' it for the fans first.
thanks for looking out Norris Prayoonto. You made their day.

Big thanks to Freddy and the crew at GLD for putting this on. They did their best to make sure the track prep was on point and they did a damn good job.
We had a good weekend. In the finals one of the hood latches failed around the 2/3 shift and the hood was up about a foot up in the air through third and just got higher and higher as speed increased. Couldn't let off, Reid was right there! Happy with the 180mph trap with a parachute on the front of the car. Gave it a little more on that one and expected at least 185mph.
Gotta say I'm impressed with the M&H slicks, went two 1.44's and a 1.43 60' on them. Previous best on MT's was 1.469. Thanks John!
Anyways, on an iPad so this is a pain. Got some pics and cool slow motion video that we may share next week when we get back to it.

It was a great event. Attendance was good! Payouts were good! Tony, Reid and Prayoonto put on a great show!! To see the cars in person as opposed to youtube, it is a whole different experience. The cars sound totally different live and to see the teams working in the pits to fix issues is something that can't be only be appreciated live. Some of the nicest guys you could meet and talk to. Those in the midwest that didn't make it out, have to make it a priority to come out next year and see some of the top racers in the Sport. Next year should be bigger and better. This is the first year of the event and we would like to make it a yearly event that will go on everyone''s calendar..

Re: *MIDWEST FWD NATIONALS* CHICAGO- JULY 7TH & 8TH
My feelings exactly. I was coming back from vacation in Pennsylvania with the family. Our vacation got pushed due to some things at my work, so it was overlapping my plans to come to this event. I made it work, and kept texting my friends saying they were missing a good event. I will be bringing my car to play in the 67mm class next year. Should be a good time. If payouts stay this good and consistent, I don't see why the racer turnout won't get better with each year. Let's make this a premier event that the Midwest holds every year.
Talks for next year is already in the works. Payouts should only get better with more incentives. For those that don't know, the runner up for the 67mm class also received a $500 gift certificate from Hondata, which was pretty sweet. It's a first year event, expect it to be bigger and more organized.
H-Duced- Hopefully you aren't done for the year!! There is still more events coming up. Let me know if you need any help. btw this is Armando from iLL Garage..

The classes were pretty good this year. I think there will be some tweaking of the rules, because there was some controversy. 67mm class is a great class and I was expecting more participants. I think some of the locals were a little hesitant to compete because they thought their car wasn't fast enough. Competition is a good way of improving and getting faster. Shops and other racers are out there helping each other out. This was evident in the All Motor class. Humble, Suja and Prayoonto and Speedquest helped each other out and they were competing. Although someone wins and someone loses, everyone walked away with some pretty valuable knowledge and will get faster in the future.

Armando- Not done by any means. I was out there on weds doing some more test n tune with some new M/T 24.5X9's. All said and done I think we got the problem figured out. I'm at a 100% duty cycle by 6200. Got a new fuel pump on the way, gonna ditch the 880cc injectors, and gonna go with some 1300cc's. Last but not least a set of cams so I can rev the thing out.
ID1000s are the way to go. Better idle, flow, tunability in partials and better overall. Tire, alignment and suspension makes a big difference as you go up in power. Those items are the most neglected. I'm guilty of it myself. I brought the car out without corner balancing and alignment and it was all over the place this past weekend.
Saw your car on the RSD flyer.... We'll try and set something up with one of our cars. See you on the 3rd

I got a lot of great pics and videos, I'll upload the vids later tonight but here are some of the pics.
Big thanks to my lady Louzee holding down the fort for me to take the pictures during the race. I would have gone
nuts without her.
Thanks to the Ill Garage guys for getting our butts out of Tx and helping out so much!
