I've never been to a ProSolo before and I've never tried drag racing before either, so I'm planning to attend the Friday practice to experience the tree and how to stage (you did read the ProSolo articles Jason posted here didn't you?).
Given that we have finally reached the point where enough work has been done with the Civic that we are going to leave the car as is to get used to it's characteristics in preparation for the ProSolo, it made sense for me to take the car home from the PCA event to avoid taking the long way to pick the car up from Jason's house for the practice.
Jason warned me that the seat would feel thin on a longer drive, so I sat on my jacket as padding. He's right. My butt was sore after being in the car for about 30 minutes, even sitting on the jacket. We must buy cushions or something to make the ride easier.
The trip home is some 90 miles from El Toro. The drive itself was loud, but not unpleasant. It was also an uneventful drive, staying with the other traffic to avoid drawing unwanted attention to us.
However, the next morning was a different story. I woke up feeling sore all over, upper body, butt, legs. It's my first time driving any kind of vehicle with a 'race' suspension on a trip. Spending an extended amount of time in this car is painful! Haha. I'll take it. I wanted a race car and viola, we have a race car. We'll buy extra cushions instead.

Stephen, what else does Steve's car have that yours doesn't?
He has different shocks, a Kirkey seat, a better engine (with a whole lot less miles on it) and who knows what else. Hope that answers your question.
Overall, I think we are getting pretty close in terms of equipment for the rest of the car, but not necessarily in setup.
