Vids of round-by-round action of Patrick's Evo from CMI Summer Nationals 7/18/09

[TRIXTSI]

Well there was the annual CMI Summer Nationals in Sacramento Raceway in CA yesterday.

These events are typically full of Honda's breaking stuff but today was different

It was an awfully hott day in Sac my truck temp said 103* when we arrived at 2 pm

They put me and another buddy Mike (Audi2ptzero) in class T4 w/ the quickest/fastest slicks/skinnies, full caged, 145+ mph Hondas at the event........it was the "pro" class, heads-up, pro tree :crap:

I'm car # 121

We had 2 qualifying passes and the first was terrible mis-firing in all gears

Got back to the pit and pulled the logs and plugs and couldn't figure out what was up so we swapped plugs for insurance and Sean my tuner messed w/ the map.

Next run was lined up next to Mike and things got a little better no missing and pretty clean pull i let off as they were being total A-holes about needing a license for going over 135mph even though the Honda guys were flying into the 145+ range

Unfortunately Mike's clutch took a poop on him and put him on the trailer

Round #1 (Turbo hatchback 30r) Tune was still off a bit on my car

That put me into the final round against a 2 door coupe BIG turbo honda.

We finally figured out what was up w/ the car...... we were running it on the pump gas map for some reason and so Sean thrashed to get the right tune up in her and once he knew what was up we went from -8* of timing in the top of 4th to 2* (tried to stay conservative and leaned out the afr's)

Needless to say IT PHUKEN WORKED! And boy did we need it w/ the Honda fly down the back-end.............

And to top it all off a new personal best in both ET and MPH by a long shot!

I know the mph needs to be backed up but it was the final round so there was no more racing and we were just going nuts about the WIN anyway

I'm really confident that she can breech the 9 sec range i think we are onto something here

Thanks go out to :

Results from BOTI Battle Of The Imports - evolutionm.net

I sure hope this is the beginning of something good since we have a few more events coming up as well as a bounty put up by Buschur Racing / AWD Motorsports for $500 to the first Evo to run a 9.99 or quicker if you run one of their specific parts.

[Boosted6]

I read the link,You're very,very close to that 9.99,it's just a matter of time now before that bounty goes to you.Once again,good work

 

[TRIXTSI]

Thanks guys!

Competeing really makes you understand why it's soo important to have a good support group that knows what they are doing w/ you since doing this solo can be very tough since there are so many things that need attention each round.

My special thanks again to the FULL FUNCTION CREW!

TSimage - I'll let them know when i see them later today......can't wait to check it out in person!
