MAPerformance FDSM goes 8.81 at Englishtown Showdown 8/16/09

[maperformance]

We were the quickest pass of the day (with the exception of a rail car) even with all that stiff competition and having to get out of it around the 1000' mark The track was in less than favorable condition as can be seen by our first few runs. Did I mention we drove this car to and from Turbotrix the day before?

60' ~ 1.34
1/8 ~ 5.60 @ 126
1/4 ~ 8.81 @ 138

Congrats on running the number! It was nice to meet all of you guys.

That in-car shot pretty much sums up the whole day for me too, sideways through the top end.

Letting off at 1000 foot and still running that # Congrats the car looks real straight in the video! Launches just like a supra but not as violent. Nice work guys!

Thanks Kevin it was great to finally meet you as well! We've got some work to do suspension wise, but our hopes are high

Nice runs. That 2nd run looked like it got almost got away from him. The in car was funny when he was waving his hand from the smoke. Good vids. Nice work.

Thanks to you Chris and some other guys like Kiggly, the other Kevin/95 GSXracer, Alex from DOg box, Lucas English, Brent from JMF, Mike Rizzoti, GOT GRIP/with the red dragster/, the guy with ELANTRA, that saved the EVENT. Guys like you make me proud to be part of DSM community. Little disappointed in the big dogs: AMS ;TTX; Magnus...

And Chris congrats on the great timeslip, eventhough you let off and I saw, how the car started going sideways, before the end... Best of luck..

What setup are you running in the rear? I assume 4 Link? just curious. I saw in the first video link the car unloaded really bad. That must have been a fun ride! I'm not trying to put anyone down or anything, I was just wondering about the suspension setup. Nice FD BTW!!

Congrats! I saw the first pass you made, but didn't see the last run. Hope to see you guys again next year.

If I were MAP I wouldn't mess with the suspension too much based on results or videos from this event. The track was super slick. My car will usually run within a 10th or two on every pass even with wild swings in temp, sunny vs cloudy, etc, and I couldn't even make a full pass.

We will hopefully be hitting the track this weekend. We are not planning on changing anything we just need to get it down a track with a bit more prep and see what it does..... I will keep everyone posted
