    Matter of fact I did.
    I recommanded to run in PRO-FWD so he can get more runs in plus it will be fun in that class. Try to be another way to be a smartass .

    he asked about track prep and test and tune time, not which class to run, any moron can figure out which event to run

    I believe I read it before I put post up there. Plus If he run in Pro-FWD he'll have alot more time to run instead of running 3 runs in test n tune. Try different way to be a smartass

    From my experience watching Import Wars they appear to prep the track daily well. As for test and tune time....no idea.

    any moron knows that the track isnt prepped like shiat for the imports. just another excuse in the books. i can hear it know my car would go tens if they prepped the track like they do for the v8's. oh well i guess a 12.6 is decent.

    actually I have always heard complaints about the track at import wars events but its more FWD based. This event is for imports and such but most complain about the front wheel drive cars running through the water box and dragging water up to the line causing others to spin

    I Have heard plenty of people talk about different events being prepped better, it seems like most of the events like (Rsd's, slicks night, etc.) they prep the track better than a standard test n tune and i have heard this from RWD guys too... and Any moron knows when to shut his mouth!!!!! Keep running your mouth in my threads and see what happens!! I just dont see why in person your a decent guy, but on the internet you start shit????????

    There probably isnt a great fix for that either. The track wants the cash flow (for good reason) so having a FWD only day wont make sense. They have tried in the past to have the FWD in one particular lane the whole day but that didnt work out with the volume of people there.

    i think your best bet is to go on a weekday. you'll get the most test and tune time! track prep might not be quite as good as a rsd event but it should do enough. what more can you ask for, your car is FWD it will never hook!

    dang the bashing..LOL

    anyhow, track prep at IW is ok. most of the imports haven't yet come to terms of big v8 muscle cars so i guess sometimes the track isn't preped as well as for v8 events. eventhough FWD's benefit from good track prep best still guys come out there and do your best. play with your tire pressure/suspension. if you have a fast/quick fwd, try running after a big v8 muscle. it'll do a massive burn out in the pit and burn off all the water on the track after it runs....this way you know the track is preped...hehe

    On the right day if you get there early/first you can get at least 5 back to back runs if not more.
