Hey guy, this is a event that a local group I am a part of is putting on. This is the second annual event and we have moved to a much better venue this year. I hope we can get a few rotary guys in the Midwest to come out for it. Let me know if you have any questions.

This is exactly what I've been waiting for.


How fast were the "Power Adder 4 and 6" guys last year?

I'd love to see some Ft Wayne guys come down, you guys will have a great time!

We had the event in early may last year and it turned out to be a really cold day so times were a little slower. I think both classes will be mid 10s, but who knows. Last year we also had a separate AWD class that we got rid of this time around.

HA! Ive never been on the strip before, so doubt thatd happen.
I finally got a beater, so my beatup FC can finally spread its wings and get some big holes :P
I have the ECU almost built, so once I get back from school, I cant start building my housings and machining rotors after work.
I have still yet to go to O'Reily's although Ive lived in Indy almost a year. Being broke and in school is a drag.

I just meant that it is really far from Alabama.
I would be stoked to see that 600hp beast in person...

Ohh... gottcha... Well turbo r1 had mentioned about getting a drag rotary event going and that got me thinking... So if enough rotary guys decide to come then I am there.. Need to let those guys know and see what they say. Would love to see a dozen or two drag rotary's. Being in Alabama you can imagine how many rotary's show up at the track! none!

Been hesitant to register because my car is iffy. The tune is really rich.
Gonna lean it out some more.
I am 100% in for sure now.
I have embraced the fact that I'm gonna get my *** handed to me by Zinx and Radkins regardless of how much power i have.
lol

I'm considering showing up. I have nothing that will run, though. Stock Rx8 or an FB that doesn't have the engine installed yet, I don't think either would do too well. lol

Stock RX-8 might do fine in the NA class. We have about 105 cars registered and only a handful are in that class.

Great event! We had 136 cars registered and 381 spectators. Fastest time of the day was an 8.9 set by a first gen DSM.

I believe there were 4 rotaries. Ryan (Radkins), Tony (Gohan3rDrift), an RX-8, and myself. Thanks for coming down, Tony! I hope you and your friends had a great time.

I took out the #1 qualifier in the 3rd round of the P6 class which was a friend in a beautiful white MIV Supra to go to the championship with Radkins. I took the win and the trophy for that class.

A great day and hopefully we can see more of you out there next year.

I tried to make it out there, but I was a little late. As I got there everyone was leaving. I had some family things I had to take care of prior to the event. I'm glad everything went well. Maybe next year I can hear about it more than a couple days before the event takes place and actually have a plan to make it out there.

I cant believe I forgot about this. My car is in no shape to compete, but I would have loved to sit in the stands. Glad to see everyone had fun.

They seemed to work well. The car tracked much better on the big end. I did cut my best 60' of 1.500 but it was only 8 thousandths from my previous best. This was with 14 psi in the ET Streets.
