I'm depressed enough you don't have to kick me while I'm down.

Chit I lost my dealer that charged me $360 a barrel and now the cheapest I can get it is $420 a barrel. More sad!!!

IPT is used by a few well known shops & performs very well.
Goals are to run 1/4,1/2 & eventually 1 mile events...

Basically 0-200

Awesome! Hopefully you and spooler can come down for a 1/2 mile event here someday so me and wifey can hang out with y’all and watch you dudes tear up the strip.

Xona rotor turbos, nice some of the world’s fastest TT RS’s and RS3s are running stage 3 BT setups with a xona making around 1000 ++ hp and running in the 8’s in the 1/4. Maybe faster now, I’m not following that stuff too closely anymore.

Yeah, There are some nice tracks down there

That 1/4 mile track that Elmo went to at the Y2K event thing looked awesome!

I tried setting up timelines

but they just don't work with large builds. I know you have been planning doing a massive modifications for a while

-edit

Your build sheet looks almost identical to the steps I went through which is pretty cool. I Mr. Magoo'ed my way learning every step. lol

Agreed! What is a timeline? Got to think like Native people or be on island time. Time is not relevant it is done when it is done. I hate myself for saying that but it is what it is. It looks like I am going to miss the start of the upcoming Time Trail season which starts the end of next month and the next event after that is two weeks later at one of my favorite tracks. Waiting on others suck even if you understand their issues. You guys are fortunate as for the most part you are in controll of when things get done.
