FYI I'm used to seeing eliminations go down in a very common way. However, I never knew it was called Sportsman eliminations. That is where the number 1 qualifier races the last qualifier. Then the number 2 racer lines up against the second to last and so on. This alows the semi's and finals to be stacked with the faster cars and and makes for closer and more exciting racing.
Thanks for the explanation Eric. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

A sportsman ladder has 1 vs. 5, 2-6, 3-7, 4-8. After that if all the higher qualifiers win its 1-4 and 2-3. -------------------- |

I normally take all opinions worth a grain of salt when they differ and I have no personal experience to back either one up. In this case let's just say the number 1 qualifier races the last qualifier and so on. That is, until I get a clarification on the wording.

Oh it's stock, for now. I'll keep it stock long enough to participate in this event for sure. Then the big hair dryer goes on.
My main fear is if Natedogg still has his EVO or Black_92_TsiAWD, they'll definitely be contenders. Nate is well, Natedoggimus Maximus, god of all that is good in the Tuning world. And Blackboy, well he's just got that factory freak beast and the whole launching thing down. -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Perhaps I'll leave the 14b on this beast for that competition....
 Brett and I will have to sword fight for the title. Annie says I'll win.

 Hah!!! If that's what she calls that spaghetti noodle of yours! Bring the 14beast, I fear it not! Seems to me that I'll have to make room on the wall for my new stuffed GOAT head! -------------------- "I hear he tunes the space shuttle also...and that thing is fast"

Thanks for the kind words turbohcar, to be put in the same class as Nates Evo is honorable.
Goat, I want a little of the action too, except for the sword fight Hmmmm...maybe we should have a side contest on the fastest 14b "stock" car. Fastest ET slip gets the honors or maybe a friendly wager? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Seems to me that I'll have to make room on the wall for my new stuffed GOAT head! It may be a noodle, but it was still a tight fit, needle boy!!! I'd consider a little side action, but I need to see what this thing can do first. I've only driven it about 2 miles!!

where is this event???? I would like to bring the GSX down and see what she can really put down for numbers.
count me in, although I have a feeling that I will have to run in the street modified class with the EVO III 16G. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

Stock as in what came out of the factory. At least that's my understanding.

According to the class rules Marcus posted, it says "Cars with turbochargers can use only the manufactures stock turbo". So I guess porting is ok
I guess Marcus will have to clarify the rules. -Are aftermarket UICP and LICP legal? -I assume FMIC would be illegal since they're not stock? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
