However if its a street tire class car and your commenting on what other cars have done in those classes. Its only fair that you guys come out and try to make the show.
show up at a nhra event or a nopi event and show the ESX WRX what up if you can that is Again congrats on the 9.9 that thing is amazing on so many different levels.

Shepherd doesn't run IDRC anymore so if you go on a good day with a fast reliable car you can do well. I won the last IDRC street class at Md (10.02 Supra was the #2 Qualifier).
If Darryl Hudson, 9.5@149, or a Jesus Rivera 9.3@150+, or a Kevin Lawson 8.7@150 show up a 10.0@142 car stands no chance of winning.
Nopi pro street tire is also an option, Shepherd runs 8.9-9.1@160MPH in street tire trim (1991 Eagle talon), and a bunch of low 9 sec supras (Titan goes 8.6@165, Battleground etc) hard to win that with a 9.8-10.0 car against these big budget shop backed cars, to Date Shepherd is the only one man operation capable of doing it.
Nopi also has turbo4, dominated by Brian Ballard and Jason hunt, they run 9.5@150 to 9.9@150 depending on traction.
Then you have the sport Rwd class which has alot of rules geared towards making the cars somewhat real street cars ( They make the weight limits high), Ali Afshar has run 9.4@148 in his Subaru WRX (Subaru sponsored I hear the budget is $2M a year) and pretty much dominates that class over here unless his car breaks.
Honestly Street tire classes are funny, you choose your weapon and skirt the rules, most of these cars have no heat, no wipers, no sway bars, no powersteering, supras have GM 2 speed trannies in some cases, make no mistake most of these cars aren't true street cars, they are just built to skirt the rules.
As was Illustrated last weekend at import survival series, the fastest cars don't always win, 3 fastest cars were eliminated, TTrix evo, Myself and Alex, leaving Keith Loforte (Of Turbotrix) as the WINNER of the AWD CLass. Congrats bean!
Keepin it real,

You tend to forget how difficult it is to put those kinds of numbers on the board consistently. Also thanks again for the VPC its still working like clock work and the 720 chip came in real handy with the new setup.
good luck at atco this weekend

i have seen some pics and they are using a charge cooler and intercooler. seems a good setup. any info on the chargecooler you use? what where in reduction in inlet temps? did you rig it up with a pump or just fill it full of ice?
also what was the inter cooler you are using? the turbo is swung aroud 180 i asume to simplify the track!
thanks Chris.

The only reason we are using a liquid to air , is because we are using a 1g dsm exhaust mainfold. This pushes the turbo out to far to fit a radiator. So we took a used radiator from the bullish team.. ( the solaras ) put that in where a front mount would go. We decided to use the liquid to air only because we couldnt put a fmic in the front. Im not sold on it, we are getting inlet temps upwards of 170 degrees at the top of 4th.. On the line ..temps are around 40degrees... Amazing in 9.9 seconds .. how much temps go up. We are working on the prob, and you will see the car soon with a diff setup..

sorry mate thought you ran both! now that would be one cool (pardon the pun) set up! have you seen RC's intercooler set up? they have swung the turbo aroud like you have. they get a HUGE intercooler in there but it is one tight fit!
got any details on the chrage cooler? would be nice to see if you get any advantages running both!

Wow congrats on the time.Your car looks fantastic!!!
I know how much effort goes into getting those kind of results.Here in oz we are only getting a batch of 100 evo 8's so i cant see anyone going nuts with one here.We have finaly got some classes for sports compact that are very similar to the nhra series.One event has been run(Sydney Jamboree)with great results(I ended up winning the Sport RWD Class).
