How is something like this even enforced?

You have to submit a dyno cert form. It calculates average power from your dyno result and handed in during tech. If you get selected for verification off the track you have to show the same compliance on the NASA dyno.

Love the updates Kubs -- congrats on getting it together, and Erik @ Backstreet is the best (he did my car also)

When's the fist track outing? Are you posting that update here or do you have another thread?

Sorry for the delayed response. I am traveling internationally for work.

The first competition outing is planned for early June with GridLife at Gingerman.
