A bunch of old muscle.... VERY boring to watch.

A C5 Z06 that either had really big problems hooking up or needed the driver mod. That thing looked slow as piss. A yellow C6 Z06 with D/R's that sounded good and looked quick, but it looked like the driver was going easy on it.

A Mustang that sounded like it would be fast, yet the "quickness to noise" ratio was very low. Other than that.... Nothing interesting.

I just need a to figure out how to pass tech inspection. My battery had to be relocated to the rear because of my sheet metal intake manifold, and let's just say it's not NHRA legal right now. I guess I could try and re-mount it in the engine bay.
every time i went through tech when i had my battery moved they asked to see it.i think they pay a lot of attention to that since if it's loose in the engine bay,it could be a big hazard.if they don't see it in the engine bay,they want to know where it is.i just had a standard battery box from Jegs,with a vent tube going through a hole in the trunk floor.never had a problem passing with that.being that your car is a hatchback,they may be more strict sicne the battery is in the passenger compartment.i did have a tech guy question this once on my car since i don't technically have a "firewall" between the trunk and passenger area-just the back of the rear seat as opposed to a metal divider as found on many older cars.he did say though that he'd pass my setup either way.
how is yours not legal?if it's because it's not secured well,you may want to take care of that regardless-that thing will knock your head off in a wreck.

I got busted a couple times at VMP for not having a cut-off switch at the rear of car. Tech guy told me anytime you move the battery inside the drivers area, you must have cut-off switch. Maybe he was just nit-pickin.

i was told this every time i was teched,but never had any problem at all with it.i kow it's in the rulebook of every sanctioning body,but it seems the tech guys look at it as a suggestion.i think their main concern is that the battery is mounted securely.
