Would this be STS-legal, or would it put me in Street Mod?

Street Mod. You should definitely get one, Kevin. And Tom Hoppe should get one, too. Heck, can we mandate it for everyone in Pro class?

I'm bailing out of Pro Class and running open from now on. - AB

I like how they photochopped the screwdriver into the pic at the top. :lol:

Keith - I don't need one of these to be slow - all I have to do is help design the course. :roll:

Taken from http://www.turbonator.com/Feedback.html
"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech. "

Whoa, and just to think the dirtmaster has this much power before they got a turbonator..... I wonder if there is time to order one for the dirtmaster before this weekend!!!

If I'm going to take 2nd, then so be it. It's not the wood or placing that I need to focus on, but course walking, left foot braking and smoothness that I care about. If I move to STS open, I can focus on that instead of working at winning Pro.

1 step backwards will mean 3 steps forward in 2005.

Well, I guess somebody needs to give Chris Brown a challenge... now that he's finished off Matt's can of Whoopass. :wink:

I'm going to stick with PRO class til the end of the year, but I may bring out a secret weapon at the Sanford autox... :twisted:

I know what you mean about focusing on winning & having the driving suffer - mine has gone waaaaay downhill lately. Used to be relaxed, smooth & controlled, running pretty decent lines within a couple inches of the cones - now I've gotten choppy, I'm pitching the car too much, making stupid mistakes, and I'm either running over cones or driving like I'm scared of them. Just trying too hard for that elusive FTPAX. :roll:

I hope the practice runs at the Laurinburg school are going to help change all of that.
