The 2JZ powered Probe won the Quick 3 class (there were only three cars competing including our RX7). We broke after an 8.47 pass and apparently the other white toyota broke as well... We need to figure out how to get more cars to come out and compete in this class, or else set some limitations to make this class more practical and just have exhibition runs for those that exceed them...

Blake will be posting results on all of the forums in the near future, as well as a feedback thread so we can get more of your thoughts / opinions on the event!

Let me try and clear this up one last time. BIR handles the scheduling (and grouped us with a Diesel event this year) and determines which cars are allowed to compete. They reached out to us last year with the hopes of increasing their exposure to the import market. If they were to allow domestics to compete in this event it would be a whole different animal and would likely be overrun by their "regulars" which includes bracket racers and purpose built drag cars. As far as I could tell anyone with an import that wanted to make a pass on the drag strip was able to do so almost immediately, and as many times as their heart desired. Why would a Mitsubishi enthusiast forum want to allow domestics to an event that is specifically designed for you to get the most out of BIR's phenomenal facility?
In regards to my employees I had to twist some arms at BIR to make it happen, and the only reason I was able to do so was because we sponsored the event. Adam and Alex were the only domestics competing that I am aware of, and both of them had many man hours into preparing for this event, its the least I can do to allow them to enjoy the fruits of their labor...
