IIRC, the rules stated that a bar was required for the drag portion of the event. It's fortunate that I found a guy who had converted his Miata into a Spec racer and had his old bar sale (cheap)

I really wanted to enter my VW in the challenge this year. But progress didn't move as rapidly as I had hoped so I'll have to wait untill next year (unless i go over my budget in the mean time.
EDIT: I might swing by up there. I'm renting out that course again and need to pay my deposit, so I might try and make it on that weekend so I can see some racing action whil I'm there.

I was going too, until my job got stupid and said no...
I was going to help the magazine run the event.
The updated budget has been posted in my sig.
The latest power figures are an estimated (at higher RPMs) 200+ RWHP / 185 lb/ft with the clutch letting go at 4500 RPM and a registered 177 lb/ft @ 188 RWHP --- AT THE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFR is in the 12's with two short spikes into the low/mid 13's.
All I can say, is DAMN! Neither the tires, nor the clutch can hold this power. I can spin 225 Hoosiers completely through 2nd. This should be interesting considering the budget(boom06) . Not to mention, a car that weighs 2150 with driver and a 1/4 tank!
Methinks I'm going to have to find some way of reducing the boost to be competitive. I plan on bolting up (rigging) the entire stock exhaust to the setup to reduce the power gains a bit (sounds funny, eh?). It's not like this power is currently usable with this configuration/budget. Doing so will also allow me to hear any detonation that may occur (none as of yet).

I assume you're gonna take it past where the budget is holding you when you get done with the GRM thing? Or are you just gonna leave it as is?
That is unreal power for the money you've put into it. You should look into building turbo kits, lol.
