It is a true testament that you guys race hard on the weekend and drive 6hrs the next weekend to drag... without hiccups . And yes, Ptuning equipped Scions were indeed the quickest ... I don't know about you guys, but I don't like easy wins!

I asked them if I could run you, not that I would have been anymore competition ....but I would have at least tried to make it a race. They said they couldn't because they were keeping track of times based on class & car number

Amen, working hard for the win are the most fun. After my "getting happy with the oil" from the weekend before, I am back to normal.

But yeah it is just a great feeling when **** just WORKS. It's not like we take it easy either.

Week 1:
Drive from our houses to the track in the cars we race. Racing all morning and afternoon on Friday AND Saturday!
Drive back home under our own power.

Week 2:
Drive 6hrs to Ohio on Friday.
Drag race the next day for some mid 13sec passes on Saturday
Drive 6hrs back home to TN under our own Power on Sunday.

That is a testament if I ever heard of it. Reckon we just have that confidence that our setups will not falter to be able to not even have a second thought to drive that far away from home and race. One less thing to worry about and that's reliability. Hell, I'm ready to race right now...LOL!

Still Daily Driving and still stock motors...tisk tisk..

Man I wish I went with Ptuning when i had my stock motor. That's crazy working hours on those stock motors. You guys are putting those motors to the test for real. This just shows you Ptuning can tune properly and the kits are top notch.

Really regret going custom turbo setup. My exhaust is V-band and is a pain in my A**. I just recently broke my fifth V-band. I'm going back to two bolt flange style FTW.

trick with v bands... don't use power tools . anything over 100rpm will overheat and gall the threads. Air rachet is ok if threads have anti sieze or oil.

Yea man, same here... drove 8 hours to run. Broke 1nzfe world record, drove 8 hrs home. Good feeling for sure. At the end of the day, most of us Scion folk don't have a race trailer sitting in the pits. A couple of spare axles, basic tools , and zip ties were my pit area comforts . LOL

How did you break the V-bands Gunnist? You didn't bottom out on them did you?

Love all the videos! I'm a drag racing kind of guy myself but after watching those videos I'm going to give autocross a go! Also I'm definitely going to make the Scion Exposed meet next year.
