I broke my cherry :)

Weighed it, half tank of gas and no spare/trunk stuff: 3485. 3700 w/ me in it. Pump gas, intake/exhaust/tune and probably a slightly slipping stock clutch (which is now toast).

More pics and video to come! Thanks Modern Automotive Performance and all the other sponsors for putting on a freaking AWESOME time and bringing out some big guns! There must have been 30+ evos, maybe more?

Fuck the car. I just remember beating NOS Brad by 3 feet, and Jesse Hewitt at the strip..I forget who else I raced. Seems grip was better the 2nd night over the first night, and I wasn't bogging my launches as badly ;)

I don't even feel like posting mine. I can never drive at the track.

Now for the important numbers; weight. Full tank, still rocking the spare in the trunk, 3340 with me in it, 3220 without. Gotta love barebones GSRs.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

3485 ain't too bad Scheides, wasn't Trevors around that much when it was weighed at your place on the mod day?

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Yea, but IIRC it was with him in it :)

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Best pass for me was 10.7 @ 140 on my sweet fuzion tires. Then my car broke which kinda sucks because I was going to turn the boost up a bit and try and get the record back for trap speed on a stock 6 bolt.

My car weighed 2805 without me in, which seems decent enough for a 2g. This was with my passenger seat and back seat and all important interior pannels in place.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Not very happy with our results. Best run was a 12.1. Number of problems including a not very experienced driver (me). Hopefully we can work these problems out and get some better time in the Evo. Weight on it with me was 3525, full tank with whatever was in the trunk.

I have a bunch of video, I'll put them together and upload that later on!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

I lined up with an X MR. Similar mods and map tuned, but he couldn't break out of the 14's. Nice guy, but I ran away from him on the track! :D

This one's for rosey:

GTR ran consistent 11.7-8's every pass. He did AutoX too, that thing sounded just amazing!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

ugh i love me some gt-r! Nice work on working the MR... why were his times so much slower? bad tune?

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Sheides, that other X obviously has extra weight duh....Look at all those stickers.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

MR's launch control is terribad from a software stand point from what I have heard.

The highest powered X MR at over 500whp can't even crack 11.0's, lol.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

ruI'm sure you could do better?

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Wow...really? I wasn't saying anything about the driver, i said they are having problems with the launch control and bogging off the line in the MR's because of the new tranny. What's your problem?

The LOL is because I think the MR's are a terrible choice for drag or making significant power on the X platform...

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Less whining, more pics/timeslips ;)

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Neither the driver of that X MR or the GT-R can drive worth a shit ;) They are both from St. Cloud, nice guys, but neither one can drive.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

GTR seemed to move pretty good.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Started with a 13.14 @ 104 on saturday. Ended up with a bunch of 12.6s @110 by Sunday

Even got a bracket win against a stretched turbo rocket.

I need a rider mod

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

What's to drive on a GTR, it's an automatic! :D

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Trevor is on the left and I am on the right. I think this is the fastest time Trevor went yesterday along with me!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Hrm, that's crazy! Trevor pulled 10mph on you by the 1/8, then the back half you both picked up the same MPH. Bryce, it's too bad you're such a cocky little SOB, that car with you in it is damn fast! Thank for being little spoon saturday night ;)

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

I woke up and thought I pissed myself

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!

heh, we slept in a puddle. A little bit of rain and according to spaz, we'd be fine if we KNEW HOW TO SETUP A FUCKING RAIN FLY!!!!!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Umm, nice stickers.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

LOL good times! My whole left side was soaked. I was so drunk that I dint even feel it rain on me!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Dont forget jim talkin to us before passing out!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Jim was talkin alot of shit to me that night haha...
Every night meeting at the 1/4 mile at 2am to have foot races was the best! I cant believe they let us drink on the drag strip.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

that dude with them ninja shoes was fast!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Should post a short mods list with the times; that would make the times mean a lot more.

Hopefully I'll have a car ready for next year (one was broke down -- headgasket, the other I didn't have finished -- needed the meth injection installed since I'm not running an intercooler).

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Scheides never gave me my winning timeslips from those races either..... grr

My ninja shoes = full slicks in a foot race :sasmokin:

Man was that a lot of fun!!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Best to date
11.40
131mph
1.8 60ft

Stock engine, HX40, E85, Tuned by Shane

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Shouldn't an evo 8 on E85 with a stock turbo be in teh 11s?

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

If you can drive

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

10's if you are beast and full out drag setup. Some of those guys on EvoM are crazy.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

If you are referring to me.. My excuse is that 12.2 is good for my first time =D

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

I'm referring to anyone that knows. Isn't yours a 9?

I'm too much into evo stuff, i'm still learning.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

So, some backstory on this one...

I swapped out plugs between passes on Sunday, the car felt slower than on the old plugs (really, I was just looking for excuses). So I had a brand new set of BPR7ES plugs that I pulled out, had only the drive up and 5 passes on them, and were now back in the box. Well, as I was packing up, I noticed they were gone. Looked all over, couldn't find them. After much discussing with the rest of the guys, we concluded that I had left them on my chair and some passer-by nabbed them. It's pretty whatever, they're $5 a set at my cost, so I didn't give much of a fuck.

So today I bought another set and went to put them in. Went to pop the hood and...

They survived two passes and the drive home, plus the drive to and from work today. Needless to say I'm very amused.

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

WOW LOL!

Re: MAP Proving Grounds 2010 - Pics and Timeslips thread!
 

Nice, at least you aren't out any plugs!!
