Until the race really took off a couple years ago I did pretty well with my n/a small block but these guys are really getting a handle on the turbos and their chassis now and I'm pretty much fodder. If they have a n/a class I do pretty well and hurt the big block guy feelings quite often. LOL



The tech some of these guys have is amazing. We recently entered a true street radial tire heads up class. 200 treadwear or better (might as well call it 400 treadwear). I figured low 11's or high tens would have them covered as it required the car to be stock interior, no fiberglass, no tubs, etc. and do a 20 mile drive. Traction was going to be the limiting factor so we weighted up the trunk and did some second gear launches.

The car that impressed the most was a late model awd Audi that had nice aftermarket wheels and looked lowered a little. Dude ripped off a 10.17! A TESLA was pretty close running in the mid 10's


Josh King, his Duster is ALL STEEL, bumpers hood etc...all steel. 3480lbs and he has been 4.70's ...... AFTER a 30 mile cruise ! ! (yes on a 315 radial but still thats a fast street car)





If you subtract the amount of guys that will never run a power adder you come up with what we’ll over 50%. Then start dividing it up by turbo builds, nitrous, blowers, etc how many do you have left for each power adder. Builds like josh’s cost way to much for 90% of us. Hell his transmission cost would put most guys out for the year. Then he had this guy build the engine and this guy putting the tune on it. Then add how much help he had at the track and you will see where I’m going with this. Now if you are happy with a high 9 second car or slower throw a Kung fu turbo on it and send it down the road.
