It's a commercial event, it exists to make a profit, you can bet the farm that it's at the discretion of whoever is in charge of ensuring the most tickets are sold.

I think there are more entrants than places so unless they up the entry price you'll need a car that stands out. In the end they want a good competition so if you have a car that can compete and looks good I'm sure you'll get it.

Put an LS into your NA to improve your chances of going to WTAC.

I'd go for a quad rotor for some flamage, pops and screams.

26B > 20B > 13B

There is just something magical about the number 4 in engines. Just like how a 4 cylinder screamer, or a H8 / V8 sounds better than a 6. Although a v10 breaks that rule somehow.

Keep notes during the testing. Make sure you have a fresh alignment.
