A key fact most pro-touring folks forget. Hence many cars being driven by other drivers and not the owners.

In the track community you'll hear stories about stock looking subarus and occasionally oddball cars like mazda speeds showing up to track events and dominating the entire field. Why? not power, its the driver, and the driver knows the car.
Now you see Dane, why I offered to drive you down to RTTC? I was gonna pick your brain on track set up for an hour each way...

I have yet to receive a refund, so technically I'm not out yet. Even though I can barely stand up to pee

I may pull a Steve Rupp and bring a ringer to drive my car.

Of course with all the supension upgrades we have now, more hp can be used to push them upgrades harder and have more fun.

I agree Stuart. It's like having a ton of power WITH the ability to control that power a lot more because of the killer upgrades to suspension, front and rear.

With the recent popularity of pro-touring events like the Motor State Challenge and The Optima shootout, to name just a few, do you think the focus of many in progress builds have changed with the success of these events?

Yeah more power, wider tires, better suspension pieces precisely tuned for that car.

It would be nice if Goodguys started using bigger auto-x tracks.
