We had a great time at the Buschur DSM/Evo Shootout, and were very excited about how the Red Demon performed.
During the first round of qualifying, we had an issue with our QM clutch slipping. Thankfully, Tim Zimmer brought a spare Evo clutch with him and with the help of the Boostin Performance crew, we were able to change the clutch in the pits and make it back for the third round of qualifying for the Quick 16 class. With Tim and our crew, we wouldn't have been able to make the qualifying rounds in time. Thanks guys!!!
During the third and final round of qualifying, the clutch felt great, and Devin took it easy and secured his spot in the field with a 9.4 at 161mph.
The first round of the Quick 16, Devin ran a 8.9 @ 166 mph to advance to the second round. (We don't have a video....does anyone else have one?) During the second round, Devin was matched up against the MA Performance RX-7, and caught a break when he red lit. Devin didn't make a pass, and just took the win. The semi-finals brought on a great match up. Devin ended up running an 8.88 at 166mph spinning like crazy out of the hole. This is his best pass to date, and in my opinion, it was one of the best races at Shootout!!!

At the end of the event, with the 8.88 pass under Devin's belt, and with the car running perfect, Devin decided to bring the Red Demon out in front of everyone one more time for some T&T. Devin felt there was an 8.70 pass in her. The last pass was perfect with his best 60ft of the day. Looking at the slip of the 8.88 pass, he was .07 faster at the 1000ft. Up until the top of fourth gear, at about 9400 rpm, both rod bolts on cylinder #1 failed, and cut Devins ride short. Devin coasted to a 9.1 at 13x mph.
But don't worry, the Red Demon will be back this weekend with our spare block going in. We're hoping to make an 8.70 pass and some 2G history!
