Ali never did hook up and just made a nice slow drive down the track.
Al, I have a lot of respect for the numbers that you have put up with the EVO, but I am quite sure that Ali would have put the wood to you. Their car is fast, and believe it or not it's street able enough to fit 4 people in on the cruise to the bar we all took that night.
Your evo is going to need some development time before it runs those numbers. I have no doubt that you'll get it into the 9s soon enough, but as the race was proposed I would have bet my money on Ali and the guys from TRP.
All said, we missed having you around the shoot-out this year.

Dan at pruven is currently hard at serious work building his black evo for the USCC and i got to tell you that car is going to put a serious dent in my record holding aspirtaions - it looks like a 650 whp set up that will prob be doing 10.20 - 10.30 times with a full interior and heavy stereo set up
As far as devlopment on the evos - Pruven and Forced Perfmance have it all figured out already - its just a matter of transfering all the same parts over and you're done
One thing I really need from you guys is the TXs exhuast set up - I really hope that sucker is comming out soon !

The Pruven/FP combo is well established - all you need is the FP30, a giant fmic; 3" intercooler to intake pipe; a custom intake manifold and crazy fuel supply; throw it all in a bag and mix with a haltec and you got an easy 550 plus who without spray. For me - I am sticking with the realtively small 3037s - its very responsive and fast spooling - although much weaker on top than the mighty FP30
So far the drivetrain seems bullet proof - although Dan's black car will surely be paving new ground as far as what the stock parts can take
I am really looking forward to the relase of your exhuast system - I've seen some of your new WRX offerings and I am very impressed with the apperance, sound and fit - if the evo exhaust is of the same quality it will be a winner !

I don't know about that ESX WRX. It's an STi now, or at least looks like one. I'm assuming it's the same car. They made the trek out to PA this past weekend for the IDRC event at Maple Grove. From what I know, at IDRC events, they run the street tire class.... and running their 9.9's, it makes them very competitive. HOWEVER, this car ran the Pro Am RWD/AWD class this weekend. How gay is that? He did run a 10.0 or something before he broke (qualified but didn;t make any rounds). How are you gonna come out from Cali, WITH a race crew, to race a class that has no points, with a $750 payout? No bull****, I think he was afraid of John Shepherd. By the way, Shepherd cracked an 8.9 run. Looked awesome.
Anyway, the Easy Street car is nice and all, and makes a whole lot of power, but the fact that he ran the Pro Am class instead of street tire class kinda disappointed me.

They just put the 2004 body parts on the car, it's the same car as it was before.
I think the car is too heavy to run the kind of times John Shepard runs. Apparently with the driver it's almost 3300 lbs. It pretty much just has added weight with the rollcage.
The Rigolis who build the engine for the ESX car have a WRX Wagon in Aus that just ran a 9.12@149mph. Dont' know if you'll ever see that in the US though.
