Im not sure what point your trying to prove. You pulled on a stock turbo evo but lost to a evo with a gt35? Ok... and?

Perhaps I need to roll out the beast (4runner) and remind everyone there is always someone with a bigger/faster car

I think all he's saying is that dyno charts do not necessarily equal real world performance. His car was making around 330whp when he was pulling on the "400whp stock turbo evos".

Indeed! There is always someone out there with more money and a bigger setup .

So i saw someone post about potentially getting kicked out and no fun runs allowed.

How serious are these wed night drags? I went to Fontana (CA Speedway) this past weekend for my 1st try at dragging, and I know I need practice! Is this Infineon event not for noobs? I'd rather not practice launching on the street after getting a ticket last week.

If you show up early enough, you can get in a handful of practice runs before the bracket racing starts. Once they start brackets, there are no more fun runs. So if you lose your bracket race, you're done for the night.

I get it. It's kind of like how my Evo was only making 310whp on the dyno, but trapping close to 120mph at Infineon.

Yep, that's exactly right. Some cars can perform better than expected from their dyno numbers and others can perform a lot worse .
