now i understand why cars are coming out all of sudden and doing testing

 

That's an awesome incentive, but it's not gonna happen (anytime soon anyway). I like the tease though. Thumbs up to Cliff and the IFO staff for something like this. Get those people to the track!

 

Nice

 

nope this was just as of yesterday. A random thought, and it happened like...wall-ahh

 

difficult to do im sure but you can never rule yourself out. 8.99 was "not gonna happen" at 2008 fall nationals..........

 

This is 2012. We need to see 7s already ;-)

 

I thought most of the tracks that you go to don't have scales?

 

not most, some. We've already planned accordingly if happens at one without scales.

 

Nice!

I like the direction the payouts are going

 

nice!

 

Very cool deal cliff

 

Damn what happened to the exducer change? 102 to 105 real quick. Who has a 105 exducer ? Hahhaa

 

Either way badass cliff! This sport needs more promoters like you!

 

Boom goes the dynamite!

 

Wow! That's a way to make the sport grow,good job! Reason why I sport IFO they show love back.Can Supras qualify also...

 

I don't know, or didn't know, but now I guess I do? Honestly, we've never had an exd max, just for this. I guess 102 is the norm, not 105? Is it really that much of a diff?

 

made a rule change for me

 

Dude, why make a rule that you don't know or understand ? What is this OGS?? I don't care either way but I just found it funny that it was 102 and then 5 minutes later 105. I guess ahobbs got his daddys measurements wrong. Hahaha

Either way this is awesome to see you doing **** like this. Can't wait to see which one of the guys accomplish it first.

 

...to deter any extremes from the somewhat standard.

No, it's not OGS... any fuel allowed and N20 allowed.

 

You never shut your mouth do you, It's for everyone I see no reason to follow OGS when Ifo never measure exducers anyway or turbos for that matter. Loser rules in Ifo and I'm all for it. Actually as we were emailing back n forth about it I told him to put an exducer size then I broke my phone and had no email. I have no clue what's in that turbo I just see it's a better option than a 102 to make it happen.

 

No offensive whatsoever... But why are you involved in the rule making ?

 

My remark about OGS was about making rules that the rule makers don't understand themselves. They just do what they are told by others but don't really understand why or what the rule actually does or mean.

It's looser btw and that's the way ifo has always been and thus cliffs thing. It's all good either way back on topic me.mod.

Thanks to cliff once again for doing badass **** for the racers and fans alike. Can't wait to see someone take home 10k.

 

Nice! Back to the racers!

 

It's not many rules 26, 72/105 and because I was asked my opinion.

No offense whatsoever, but why does it matter? If you were called you'd give your opinion as well. So your question should be to cliff. He made the rules I just gave my opinion.
