No Corrected Times...same density altitude...same track...same conditions...same tire type...same interior...LXforLX . . . . ALL LX Performance Vendors in attendance.
Who would love to see that happen at an LX event THISYEAR?
I for one would like to see it happen and I am guessing that a LOT of YOU would like to see that too.
Why has it not happened yet?
Posting numbers on the forums is great, videos are great, even random customer testimonials is great but there always seems to be some sort of rebuttal or questions.
(Did he have full interior, what tires did he run, who actually saw it, blah, blah, blah)
Before this thread gets out of control I am asking everyone to be good sportsmen about this thought. This is NOT intended to bash or flame ANYBODY, neither company or customer. I understand everybody feels strongly about the parts they bought or sell so lets agree that is understood without making this thread ugly. (Please)
Chuck (CHERRY) and I have invited EVERY Performance Parts manufacturer for the LX platform to come out to Columbus, Ohio and show their stuff in a separate Exhibition Class. Why? Because their customers and potential future customers deserve it. Neither of us are running any parts from ANYBODY, so I want to dispel any rumors right now that we work for or promote for any particular vendor. (Columbus = Switzerland)
Sound off LX community and let the performance vendors know if you would like to see this happen!!!
Again, I am pleading with every to please keep comments friendly. Would you like to see this happen, and if so would you attend an event like this?
I would also love to see CHERRY run in the same group (or at least on the same day/same track), as he is our "control" subject. All-stock, properly prepared car with a top-notch driver!

Cool idea. Let's all keep in mind trap speeds reflect horsepower, NOT so much ETs.
Maybe get some established launch techniques too. Give a little prize for the best 60ft, highest 1/8th mile mph, lowest 1/8 ET (just to keep things interesting).

I think they already have some of those covered... at least for our bracket races: There are 6 presentation-quality, engraved plaques to be awarded:
- 1st and 2nd Place in the Bracket.
- 2 Semi- Finalists.
- Best Reaction Time in the Bracket.
- Closest to Dial-In in the Bracket

He already removed the CAI (it's for sale on another thread) and the other two are "stock" per NHRA rules.
