The event was great. All the Q16 cars were pitted together and everyone was helping each other out. It was just like old times. Doing what we love (racing) and actually having a good time while doing it. Thank you to everyone who came out to attend/race at this event. Kiggly won the event with a 8.98 and was consistent all day. He won $3500 plus and Exedy Twin HD clutch. Congrats Kevin!
We had a misfire at the top of third gear and had to shut down early on our first pass. We coasted to a 10.5x@9xmph. We changed the plugs and went out for another pass. Car pulled clean and we qualified #2 with a 9.17@161. We turned up the wick for our second round against Marco from Magnus and unfortunately we broke the teeth off second gear.
Oh well, thats racing. If your not breaking parts your not going fast enough. 
Brandon made it to the finals and lost to Kiggly. His best pass was a 9.4@151mph. We could not get more then 35psi out of the car and later found the leak that was causing it. We fixed it for the finals but he missed a gear and shut it down.
It was great hanging out with everyone. I hope everyone had a good time and we are planning to make next year even better!

- I wish I had internet at the track. I stopped by the booth and talk to Craig for a little bit and the day before at TTR in their office. Nice to meet the spark tech team. I had an umbrella so my wife and I didn't get tore up by the sun.
Anyways I enjoyed the event and wanted to thank everyone who participated. Many of us made a long drive.

Good times today for sure and a another SOLID event held by Turbo Trix. One of the best mitsubishi centered events I have been to in my life and I have been going to them for over 10 years. MEt up with some old friends, did some racing, and sweated my butt off!! Awesome showing of cars from around the country to say the very least, particularly the CFT GVR4
Thanks again Turbo Trix for holding another top notch event, it was almost like I was racing how it was 10 years ago!

Thanks for a great event! I went down there hoping to qualify and ended up qualifying #1 with a time of 11.54 at 117.52 first round and was bumped to #2 by the second. The rest is history. One by one I worked my way through he tree including a few cars running red's and meth. Im running a actual STOCK TURBO, pump gas NO meth and was beating cars that were making 100-150whp more and I am. It took me about 2 passes to get used to the PRO TREE, but after I got the hang of it it wasnt bad at all. As you can see from my sig. i ended up winning the event for the Stock Appearing class!

Honorable mention to Scarface2jz for second place.
How ironic that it was 2 STOCK TURBO cars in the finals of a stock appearing class??
