MAP PG13.1 Pics, stories, fights, results and more!

[scheides]

Post'em on up! I had a freaking blast, car didn't run perfect but it ran well enough to keep a smile on my face! Great to see lots of familiar faces and get to know newer ones as well. LOTS of good guys out there. Great attitudes and everyone seemed to be having fun.

I raced both AutoX and Stock Appearing drag. Best drag run was 11.9@121.9mph, decent but my best is still 11.6@124.x with the BBX and I ran 126mph at one point too...will be spending the forseeable future trying to figure out why the car is being inconsistent. For now I'm happy, new motor is running great!

I beat Jeff R in the first round (sorry dude!) and lost to drag newb Chris/evotuner in the semi-finals when we both bogged off the line and his EF2.5 outspooled my EF4 in 1st gear...it was over after that!

AutoX was wicked fun as always, fast course with lots of crowd watching all around! I improved by a solid 4 seconds from my first run to my final run, finishing nearly dead last with a snail's pace 28.5 second time. I had a blast, these courses are setup for more responsive setups/smaller turbos and my ef4 was being good and laggy in 2nd gear...while it felt fine to me, I'm sure there is time to be shaved off with some insta-spool action!

Thanks MAP for another great event!

Just got home, big thanks to Ben and Wade for towing my shit heap home after blowing on the first drag pass.

Coasting past a viper that was at full throttle made me giggle in my helmet.

Best drag pass was 12.565 @ 113.76, 1.9 60'. Surprised at the low mph but I didn't realize the drag coefficient was .434 on the Lotus, sort of sucks. Apparently removing the wing will add a few mph, I'll have to try that next time.

Best autox was a 25.9, felt like a creeper giving that young chick a ride-a-long haha.

On the road course it pulls really hard to 100, and after 120mph it doesn't accelerate all that fast, again that damn drag. Only got two timed laps on the road course and didn't get a clean lap in, best was 107 seconds. I know I could have done at least a 104 without making the big mistakes I did.

Drove 900 miles this weekend, knees and ankles get a bit sore on the long drive. Averaged 30mpg cruising and 11mpg at BIR. Overall a good weekend, I need to find a trailer for PG2.

got my scrap home after two passes. Hope to figure out why so much damage was done to the drivetrain. Fun though

I effed the video of the Stock Appearing final and got the cars rolling up to the line and that's it...sorry evotuner :(

I only took some random pics, they are here:

Me next to beaterX. She was in true form this weekend, front bumper hanging loose, dirty as hell with dirt/rain/mud but I have just under 1000 miles on the new motor now and she was happy as can be! My dad took this photo of me (not me & the car)...was hoping for more of a car shot but oh well.

After troubleshooting in the dirt I accidentally left my trouble light snug down near my downpipe. Obviously during the auto cross runs it bounced around a bit and started cuddling with it...how could you not? That MAP downpipe is soooo sexy!

Hey, it's my old car! Weggy was sending me messages wondering where I was. Except for the rain, this looked like a lot of fun.

Damn, Swifty's car looks sexy. :spin:
