looking at the results from last year, there should be some pretty quick cars…but no ones really ‘that’ fast. i didnt see any trap speeds over 130, so i should be right in the thick of them if things go as planned. i like how Evo’s / STI’s own the top 7 rankings from last year ---

Two FYIs from the rules 1. Your car has to have a complete interior, not gutting. 2. You have to use the same tires for both the auto-x and drag racing. On top of which no drag radials, racing r-compound, or slicks are allowed. So basicly if you dont have awd, you are SOL ---

There are no points for ET in the drag portion, so I’d say with FWD or RWD you’re going to spin and trap nice and high so you should do well. Yes AWD may beat you on the 60’, but maybe not. The best last year was only a mid 1.6 I found my tire choice if I do this. 🙂 ---

I suspect I’ll get raped (15 seconds or so) in the 1/4 and on the “show” bit. I’ve gone through the rules, I’ll be running D class, if I compete (which I’m planning on). ---

In the rules where it is talking about you not being able to add or remove parts between events it says the only exception is removing the nitrous bottle during the auto-x part. ---

It simply adds a wrinkle to the competition. Doesnt give anyone an advantage. Personally I like the rule…run what ya brung…isnt that what we hear so often on here anyway? ---

Personally I like the rule…run what ya brung…isnt that what we hear so often on here anyway? well i want to bring drag radials but they wont let me 😛 > [@Adictd2b00st](#): > > so r-comps on an evo for the auto-x would be fair? ya. Why wouldnt it? Not trying to argue about the rules. My point was just to point out two of the rules that probably would affect a bunch of people and save them the headach of going there and finding out they cant run their cars because they didnt really all the rules. And honestly, does anyone on here really think they would have a chance of winning? I know i dont, so it would all just be for fun. And to me, spinning a 1/4 on street tires isnt fun. Especially since i would have to buy them :lol: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyspeed-winged-warrior-performance-challenge-may-11th-12th-2007/22533.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nyspeed-winged-warrior-performance-challenge-may-11th-12th-2007/22533.md?page=3)
