MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
We finally made a full pass at just 40psi on Saturday at Brainerd International Raceway. We will have to wait until next season to see what we can do with 50+ psi as our roll cage certification is only good to 8.50 and we were promptly kicked out of the event :(

60' 1.285
330' 3.510
1/8 5.387
MPH 130.57
1000 7.025
1/4 8.416
MPH 161.69


According to dsmtimes.org (I'm sure this list is a bit outdated / incomplete) we are now the 8th quickest 4g63 powered vehicle ever :) Did I mention that we drove it home from the track over 130 miles? Street car FTW ;)

Heard about that. I looked, but wasn't able to find your car at the track. Good job.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Already have the parachute just need to upgrade to SFI 25.5 aka funny car cage. Going to make it a lot less streetable :-(

We just drove the FDSM 130+ miles from Brainerd back to the shop. A nice little finale to our weekend and proof that the FDSM really is a streetable car :-)

lol I was just reading the old thread from 2007 about when is a street car not streetable. My thought was, If you can drive your car to and from the track its streetable!! AAA to cover any problems for a tow.. and your all good!

lets see this video already!

ps, is there gonna be anyone out tonight for some sunday night labor day weekend fun?

Good job. Rau's car could probably make it back to the cities.... Not a great idea but would be better than a walk if all other options failed.

Huh!? And btw his car with the size of his tank prolly wouldn't make it far. And then there's those red lights ya gotta stop at...

That would be tough running on methanol with a clutchless manual transmission. Not to mention his car isn't registered, doesn't have headlights or tail lights, and doesn't run coolant through the block ;-)

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
From what I remember your car didn't have headlights until before the "fake" video was released. I am saying it probably could make the drive if needed.

Great job with the car. Full boost?

blageo23 09-07-2009 09:11 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
I cant believe you guys drove that home! I wouldnt even trust my Daily driver to make it up here and back :)

v8klla 09-07-2009 10:04 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
These passes were done on 40psi, so there is still more in it but it looks like we might have to wait for next season :( We drove it home to make a few of the haters eat their words ;)

Kevin 1G Drummer 09-07-2009 10:25 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Proof of driving it all the way home or it didn't happen. haha

v8klla 09-07-2009 10:28 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Oh there is video proof lol, the problem is the fact that its labor day and my video editing guy is likely still passed out ;)

FattyBoomBatty 09-07-2009 10:57 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Or I can tell you that I know a guy that was up there racing their '70 chevelle ss454 convertible and on his way back he was passed by a white evo with green wheels followed by a "white rx7 that was just up there going 8's."

Pretty awesome if you ask me. 8.41 second car driving home like it was an afterthought.

saw you and Brent on Saturday, final round of qualifiers. you made the 8.41 pass on Sunday i assume? if it hadn't been $20/day i probably would have gone on Sunday as well. i got vid of both of you on Saturday so i was happy!

v8klla 09-07-2009 11:34 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Both passes we made were on Saturday and that got us kicked out so we couldn't run on Sunday :(

stickyphoenix 09-07-2009 11:45 AM

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
i came on the right day then! too bad i missed THE pass, but it was fun to be able to see the progress you guys made in action. i'm sorry to hear that they axed ya.

He's got a twin disc, that we had to mic and adjust after every pass. And, it does have tail lights, and headlights where the fog's usually go, for the night races in puerto rico. Still, FAR from streetable at all.

Congrates to you guys for a 8 second street driver..I'm jealous.

Re: MAPerformance FDSM 8.41 @ 161.69mph
 
Video added to the first post. There will be another video with more of the drive home, but its currently 28 minutes long and pretty uneventful so some more editing is going to be needed lol.

95talonracer 09-07-2009 03:46 PM

I think you need to update this ^^^^^
