This is more like it. More information the better. PSI setting for the
either one turbo or two and so forth...the truth is more important here that
fiction.

Subject: DML: 10 sec Neon

Can't let this one slide by... I have witnessed this "10 sec" Neon in
action. The neon everyone is talking about belongs to Len Alaya's/Hahn
Racecraft. I have had the opportunity to see this Neon race twice, first at
the 2000 Neon Gathering in Belvidere, IL and second at 2000 Mopar Nats. It
is quite a work of art. 12's in Belvidere and low 11's, I believe 11.14 at
Mopar Nats. The car had full interior in Belvidere and looked very
streetable except for slicks. The track in southern Wisconsin was not very
good. Most vehicles were having trouble launching...slicks or no slicks.
But he still managed low 12's. Mopar Nats was a different story...he had
stripped the interior down, and added the pretty blue bottle. This is the
combo that has seen tens. So, getting to the 10's required weight reduction
and a shot of juice, not sure what he jetted it at. I lost a tad bit of
respect for Len's car when I saw the interior stripped at the Nats. His
neon is still truly streetable, however with no stickers, no body kits or
any other mainstreem "rice" appearance package it is truly a menancing
street machine...especially with the interior.

Hahn runs a great operation and Len's car represents their products well.
It is very proffesional, clean, and top notch.
