Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27

[Speedfreak]

This has been an awesome test and tune session for me. The first pass was 10.2 @ 152.5. It bogged on the second pass off the line. The third pass was 9.9 @ 148. I was warned to slow down. I hope to improve the 60 foot tomorrow!

WoW! That's pretty sick, Congrats.

Trev ended up doing 11.5@126?mph, I lined up with another black wingless X MR. Hood shit!

I cut the best 60ft times of my life but couldn't get the car to shift at all. a little disapointed but the car was still running at the end of the day so it was a good day.

Best pass was 12.81@ 118 with a 1.9 60ft in the FWD missing 4th gear.

Marks' car is crazy, he was one of the only AWDs have some decent luck. Jim went 11.3 his first pass, then a higher 11 his second and the clutch seems damaged now. Schiedes lost his clutch. The Primo Performance Evo is having some weird clutch problems too, had some boost problems at first but they got that figured out, just need to get a full clean pass together. The MAP Evo seems to be having tranny shifting problems, doesn't seem to want to go into gear, I know I saw it run run an 11.1, maybe some 10s, don't remember with some high trap speeds. The MAP RX7 ran smoothly with a mid or high 8, autos rule. The Probezilla went maybe a low 8? Dave H's Supra has torque convertor problems. Trevor went 11.5 and keeps going faster with each pass. I think I saw SleepyDSM run an 11.4? Jims old 2G Talon was running a lot, he got his fueling problems figured out right after they stopped racing though. Brad went 10.7 @ 139 maybe, His car just goes and is still on those shitty tires. Brads first pass looked almost as bad as he did after drinking all night, but it was still an 11.3. Halon went 11.7 I think. Swifty broke before he even took a pass, I think. Kevin from SLS went at least 11.2, he is on the verge of getting it all working and running a 10. A customer of mine with an all-motor Sentra went 12.0 about 10 times in a row, he was getting very frustrated. Nate(URV8SUX) had a problem with one of his slicks early in the day and popped an inner tube, he went into town and got them remounted and went 10.7 or 10.8 at 140s, hopefully we have a misfire problem fixed and he can beter it tomorrow. Redline with the red 2G with the carbon fiber hood went 11.3, seemed like he was starting to get some good runs in. Some 3/4 chassis probably rotary Starlet thing had one the harryiest passes I have ever seen going all over the track and ran a 9 I think, you wouldn't want to be the other lane next to that thing. One of my customers that we tuned last week went 10.7 in his Civic hatch, another one that we tuned this week went 10.2@145 on his first pass ever in the car. There were a few other Evos there that I don't anything about mostly running in the 12s it seemed. A bunch of Honda, some pretty mean looking ones especially one from out of state, I think most were running in the high 11s/12s. There was a diesel truck running low 11s. The Evo we brought out is having some shifting problems too, probably the clutch, it doesnt want to go into 2nd or 4th smoothly and it creeps on the line, doesn't seem to be disengaging all the way. I think the best pass it made was a 10.7 or 10.8 at 147mph.

Schiedes lost his clutch.

Thanks for the detailed update! Reading about all these clutch and tranny problems reminds me why I've never launched the car. I've got enough issues without it. lol.

I can not wait to see what comes out tomorrow, it sounds like a few people had a good day at the track at least. I wonder how Ryan did on the Road course?

I heard he hit something?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Wow, sounds like there's some decently fast cars there. Sucks to hear about so many people having tranny/clutch issues. Hopefully everyone is staying dry tonight!

[MustGoFaster]

I heard he hit something?

Yeah, it's called on concrete wall. Only cosmetic damage, spent an hour or so on the course afterwords.

[bramagedained]

Yep, if MAP does this again next year I'm going to go AWOL if I have to. Last year I had training, this year I'm in Afghanistan and next year=?? Though that will be a long ass drive as I'm trying to get stationed in Maryland
