I have access to a full shop with lifts if anybody needs something fixed. I would be more than willing to help anyone. Its only about 2 miles from the track if needed.

110% awsome! How can we identify you in person should anyone be in need of some major assistance?
I'll have a little jack with me, and some tools. I'll be over on the road course part though. Any other MS guys running the twisty track?

Re: Modern Automotive Performance 2nd Annual Sport Compact Proving Grounds June 26-27
I'll be bringing all of my tools as well. Won't be quite as comprehensive as some people's, but they've served me well at random intervals.
I'll be up probably around 6:30-7 tomorrow.
Plugs, coils, boots, wires, and the car's running great. It's time to go break something.

How did the weather treat you guys last night? Newton, IA was in storm warnings till 3am, and an extremely close lightning strike (had to have hit somewhere here at the track) woke me up around 4am. Skies are clearing up now, though!

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!

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

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