Ok, I changed my mind on the v8's thing, good call MAP. I had a freaking blast, and honestly wouldn't change anything major with how this event is run. It was FUN!

Any chance they can be a little less strict on the 11.5sec cage rule? It was sad to see tuley get the boot after running low 10's on a perfectly safe street car.

Ha, I hope you are being sarcastic. That car isn't perfectly safe. At least on the track it goes straight, on the street it goes sideways if you try to get on it in 3rd. You are also supposed to have a parachute at 150+mph. We will probably put a cage in it, do all the safety stuff, get some suspension, slicks, etc if he wants to go the drag car route with it. Making horsepower is the easy part.

It sucks for Ron though who went 11.0 his first pass on the stock turbo and got kicked out.

Kinda glad neither cars were ready, I wouldn't have been to happy to try and jam on the car to get it ready and then get kicked right away.

Why isn't there just a 'slow down' warning, and he could turn the boost down or something?

That is based on NHRA rules which is what the track's insurance uses.
