Hmm, I might have to sign up for Friday. I've always wanted to run a 1/2 mile or mile event.

I signed up for Saturday pro am class. I don't really care about the times. I just wanted a place to get lots of races against my friends, and hopefully some exotics.

Here is a pic of the bracket board, before the final.

Many vettes were faster than that.

I saw your c7 out there. It looked great. I ended up running anywhere from 147 to low 150s. Sucked bc my two fastest runs in the morning didn't print for some reason. I had a buddy there with me and he ended up in the low 150s as well. His best last year was a 157 completely stock, and now he is over 150 whp from last year. Guess it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it would have been nice to get into the 160s.

I was there on Friday and had a great time, ran in the low 150s. One of the best parts of the events was seeing the Porsche 918s and other exotics.

It seemed there were many fast Nissan GTR's.
I raced a GTR and he ran 199 mph.
The driver said he had 1400 whp and 34 psi boost setting on the turbos?



Maybe one of the best C7 pictures I have ever seen. Very good.

Those cars are indeed very quick. It looks like a lot of fun.

Drive safe.

Attended Saturday. Lots of cool hardware!

My 2001 A4 with mild bolt ons ran 127.6 (best run). I would like to do better than this. My current thought is a super charger. With a budget of $6-7k, any other suggestions?

I would get on an audi forum and see what kits are available for your car. I would go turbo if it's available. Make sure there is a tuner local with experience on your platform.
