Changed the name to Pony Wars and it's now held at Valdosta (SGMP), which is a better track anyways.

I've been to all 3 Pony Wars been picked and won one of the classes 2 times. It's a blast. I think its going to happen again in April but don't quote me.

There's usually a good showing of GM cars. The last one in October had a great show up of 5th Gen's. I ran in the finals of my class (mid 11's) and lost to one of the head honchos of Steeda (the company that puts on the event) and skat won his class (bottom 12's). I had a great time and got plenty of runs in.

Yup, it's a good time. I even made it into the latest issue of 5.0 Magazine that did a small article on the October event. And for no other reason than to show off, here's a pic of that article, lol

That's awesome. I have heard of Boda before he always has fast cars. Guess u can when you wokr for a big shop though. We definitely need to roll out there in numbers this year. I wont run my car since im basically stock but hopefully by next year it will be in a good position to run

No reason not to run your car. It's basically a test and tune the first half of the day. They keep track of the cars and what times they are running. Then they set 3 classes and put 16 cars in each class, along with the fastest 8 cars in their own class. Then they do heads up arm drop races in those classes. Just because you run in the morning, doesn't mean you have to run in the class. There were plenty of Gen 5's running 15's because of novices behind the wheel.
