Damn that's extreme. What series/class are you planning on competing in?

We run a series based on qualifying and breakout times. It's really nice because if you want to show up on street tires one day, you can find a GOOD race. The classes are split by 2 second timing intervals. I think we are going to move them closer next season, but it makes for some good racing. My car runs in the fastest production car class - but it's not the fastest! I have to run with a 450 hp RX-7 w/ LS2 in it (old speedsource car), and a fully prepped trans am on 315 slicks! Those guys get me pretty good right now, but lots of times I drop down a class and run 10 lbs of boost to run with guys I have better competition with. I cam continuing to mod the car and soon will probably upgrade turbo and go after the big dogs.
