Natural Bridge import 4 cylinder STREET Fights: Any street car can enter, although the officials let two trailered built neons that were stripped and on slicks running nitrous compete against the street cars. The cars were definately not STREET LEGAL. We all didn't talk too much shit until it came down to the final race between the neon and marshall's talon. Neon lost and we advised them to take their trailored street legal cars and leave in a polite alcohol induced way.

Is Clay's the Blackdog Motorsports car or was it the one running nitrous?
The neon running nitrous was everything short of a tube frame chassis, you couldn't strip any more weight off it. It was an obvious track car, never intended for the street, but damn fast none the less.
I'll run for tech in an auto-x or track event, prefer auto-x though, it's cheaper. I should have new wheels and tires sportin' a wider stance by spring or so. Just need to find someone in my class...

Yea, Clay was the Blackdog Motorsports car (clay is the one who owns/runs Blackdog, but he was letting Nick, a guy who used to work there drive his car).
Lucas was the one w/the 2.4 Neon w/nitrous. And it's definitely not intended for the street.

so, does clay pull those wheelie bars off when he daily drives the car? 
i talked to lucas last weekend, said he's building a Pro FWD neon, 2.4 block punched to 2.6, individual TB's, standalone...sounds like it's going to be a very cool car.

haha, yea those wheelie bars were a bit much. 
Yea I've heard the stories I can't wait till he gets it done. He was pulling mid-high 8s w/very few bolts on the 2.4, I can't wait to see it built.

The only driving events I do anymore are DE's with the PCA. Any idea on the lap times anybody runs at VIR(full course) or Summit? I'm buying a hotlap timer for this season so I can track my progess becaues the PCA isn't allowed to time DE's. AFAIK, of that list, only the M3 would worry me . . . less so if he is on street tires! My turbo was bone stock last year, but I've done some stuff over the winter here. First track days this year are 3/15-16 at Summit hopefully
