Track spot at Mazfest

I know there is a formal wait list, so I defer to that til I talk to Redline on monday, but, I may have a track spot for sale Here is the story of my first real dyno on my race car;

Turbo let go on the third power pull...... brand new turbo, 0 miles, -4 feed, -10 drain straight down on the drain, 90 psi oil, Mobil 1, no restrictor, NGK racing 6725-11.5 plugs(new), 10.1:1 AFR, conservative base line timing, 114 octane, low EGTs and ~@ 6000rpm.

Made 300ftlbs of torque at 4000 RPM on base line timing. So, I think we were headed for a great day, when this BS happened... I'll be back on it by next week. Turbo should be taken care of under warranty.
So, I may put my tiny little TO4B (previously called a TO4S by me, I was wrong), or my T66 .81 Q trim. I think that the T66 will be laggier than want, but we'll see. I probably will not make Mazfest, although as long as it really is the turbo(not the oil control rings), I may go for it, and tune on Friday at "7s only" @ BW raceway. If the car has another problem, I can put it in the show LOL. CRAAAAAAAP...

I have decided not to put my family through another week of this stuff, so my spot is available. I will call Redline Monday.
