Default Hot Rod Drag Week 2015

I was able to get registered again this year and am pretty sure this will be my last attempt at it. Just wondering if anyone else on the site will be joining the rolling poop show!?

I didn't make it in on registration day.

However, I am on the waiting list and I plan to show up on registration Sunday and hope they let me in. If not I will follow along for the ride and watch some races and drink some beer.

Been doing it since '08 and hope to continue.

Never got the chance to say hi but I remember seeing the car in 2013. If I didn't make it in I was going to run LSFest then just show up at the gate to DW. Anyone that showed up and waited long enough got in last year. I'll make sure to come find you in sept!

Oh dude, I've met you before. I was at DW in 2013 as well with my DSOM C6. This year looking back at the Tulsa video I think you were actually a few cars behind or a head of me in staging. I gave up the ghost the 2nd day with fuel pump issues.

I'm hoping to have that squared away here shortly. I'm switching over to the Lonnie's 255/340 in tank combo. Before the car had the LPE and an 044 running all the damn time (not my design) and then kicked up under boost with a BAP. Moving too much fuel under non-boost times. Making tons of heat into the fuel system. Hoping the swap to the twin intank and a new larger primary fuel line will solve that. The 340 will be on a Hobbs.

I pick the car up tomorrow at the chassis shop, just had the exhaust from the turbo's back to the one off Borla Ti cans redone. Old system was a crazy restriction. I'll throw something up about that in the C5 FI section later this week.

I'm waitlisted, but won't be able to show up just in case. I was really hoping to use Drag Week this year to get some media coverage for my shop.

I've been there for the last two years....and have not yet seen anyone who shows up on sunday turned away. You'll be there all damn day waiting for the word....but at the end, the word has always been YES to date. If you're doing LSFest....come on out! You're 2/3rds of the way there already! (That was my fallback plan if I wasn't able to get registered)
