What happened to the old Evom? Where the shops built cars to see who was the fastest?
it seems that these days shops are doing their best to come up with new creative ways to set records.
like fastest 2005 Evo SSL on street tires... or quickest Evo with a full interior.
Why don't we see the shops shooting for the true record. 8.34 out of the STM DS9 car from Australia. Fastest Evo 8/9 in the World.
I see a lot of shops recalling old glory moments from the past. Let's see some shops put together a race program that is successful and runs the fast times that we all hear about. Less jabber and more racing.
It would be nice to see these shops put together cars and be prepared for next year's shootout so we can see what the American shops can do against the Extreme-Tuner's car as well as any other Foreign teams that want to bring a car to race. If all the big hitters are coming... I think you could pull some world wide talent together to make for a great show.
Not to mention... a little competition never hurt anybody

English Racing has been running 8's all last year in their Auto 1st gen. I know Jeff runs on a pretty tight budget and they were clicking off 8.30's last season.
I'm surprised that the more shops on the forums known for "racing"... aren't racing...and haven't been racing...even when the Economy was better.

Imo most shops sold there drag cars because of cost. Money is not as good as it used to be. No shop is really pushing the limits of a drag setup anymore. There is no money in it and it cost the shops more money and time they do not want to spend anymore for a near dead industry. It's all about the car who can reliably run 9s or 10s and still be a real street driven car.

If shops are "hurting" as what has been stated, why is customer service in the toilet too? You'd think it'd be the other way around. I've been buying parts from people that will acutally just respond to my PMs/calls/emails anymore, even if their cost is slightly higher. It's good to know that people ACTUALLY want to help you, and get you the correct thing as opposed to just taking your CC information online.

I have to say it was definitely entertaining. It seems that the big guns have moved on to different things. Buschur is looking toward auto cross, although he has spoken of a new drag project. AMS has moved toward other cars. Many others are following suit of these two companies.

I can't blame them because the X seems less attractive to drag racers and more to people wanting a street car or car fir autox/road course.
