Just checked in. What a trip! We did it in 28 hrs straight through. 
I am going to rest and recover in my hotel, and then I'll be up bright an early tomorrow to go over to UMS Tuning for the dyno portion of the competition. I hope I see some of you there!

<--- Coming from ASU to admire all the rice jk... the infiniti's at home in Cali (since it's dad's) so i'm gonna have to be the jackass who rolls up in a mustang gt. should be a lot of fun, hopefully there will be a lot of clean rides there. I'm stoked on seeing the racing and time attacks and stuff, and the drifting event since i've never seen that up close. Good luck Sharif!

Hi everyone,
We are just wrapping up the last of the cars for the Dyno portion of the test. This year, we are fortunate that they are using an "area under the curve" formula, rather than peak power, so we should be in EXCELLENT shape in this portion of the competition.
Let me start by saying I can't give away too much detail, as it will spoil the article for Modified Magazine. But I did want to let you all know, that the Forged Performance GT-R performed EXTREMELY well on the dyno and shocked quick a few people. We are well positioned going into the autocross, 1/4 mile, and time attack for tomorrow.
GT-R bolted onto USM's DynoPak Hub based dyno.
I am keeping an eye on things during the dyno pulls.
The GST Motorsports Impreza always puts on quite a show, and today was no exception.
Each car was weighed as part of the competition, although the power to weight ratio is just for informational purposes, and does not factor into the final score. The GST Impreza tips the scales at 2685lbs with driver, compared to 3775lbs for our GT-R. Um, what's 1000lbs between friends, eh? 
Crawford Performance is another class act operation. They brought out their well known factory backed STi, which will be piloted by Tarzan Y. I think this is one of the most beautiful USA Time Attack cars I have seen so far.
And it's just as nice, under the engine bay:
The Cricket Turbocharged NSX also came out to play.
So we just loaded up, and relaxing at the shop now. Shortly, we'll be heading back to the hotel, resting up for the most important portion of this contest....tomorrow's motorsports events at Firebird International Raceway. We hope to see some of you there! I can tell, that the competition is going to be intense and severe....thanks to all the well wishers! :cheers:
