Quick question for all the people going to this event. I unfortunately had to swap cars because mine is being wired now so in saying that I'm taking my dads vette up to the event. I know it will get spanked out there but my question is who all in Illinois could do a quick header/offroad x pipe install and tune? I've tried speed inc, finishline performance, redline Motorsports in Bloomington and straightline, all saying they are anywhere from 1-3 weeks out for dynotuning. Can anyone help me out since the event is only days away? Just trying to get the install and tune done and it's crunch time.

The alpha omega did hit 208 the thing was flying. Was a great turnout, we lucked out for several hours and around 2:30-3 we got slammed with rain so everyone left. There were a bunch of GTR's, vettes, speed inc's drag car went down the runway twice but I didn't hear the mph, first pass he got in and out of it several times. After this one I'm definitely going to the next one in Georgia

The owner of that place when we had our lunch break took out his mad max looking 4seater baja prerunner and was flying through the parking lot where all the cars were parked in the lanes and came close to wiping out and rolling, from my angle it looked like he was damn close to slamming into a couple rides. Then later he got in his helicopter and was doing some low elevation tricks and came right over the top of 2 vettes that just got about 200 feet out of their dig and was about 7 feet above them then turned it sideways while someone was hanging out taking pictures of the cars coming right at him as they went under him....guys nuts but it was entertaining to watch lol. Only one guy in a red C5 went off the track. His buddy told me hit slammed on the brakes, something broke then lost all the brakes and went in and up the ditch around 70 or 80 then went through a fence. Crazy thing was the way we went through the ditch the only real damage I could see was a busted up front splitter and lower bumper a little messed up with a shitload of grass all over the car, other than that the guy got pretty lucky.
