2008 Runoffs

Just wanted to thank AMSPerformance for all the help this year supporting both Me and CJ. We picked up 4th and 8th place respectfully at this years runoffs on a track where the GXP and 350Zs were the favored cars. And there were 16 of them, 8 and 8. I qualed in 11th place and earned the "hard charger" award for the second time in 3 runoffs appearances.

Thanks again to the AMS team!!!!!!!!

Marty

I watched the in car Marty, very nice driving indeed! Your lines are good and you're using all the track buddy!
Guys, this is real racing. Wheel to wheel and let it all hang out. All Evo owners should be proud of CJ and Marty for what they have done.
3 EVO's in this years runoff's and all were tuned by AMS!

Marty and CJ, how many race miles on your motors do you think?

My car has been a race car since it went to VIR with 240 miles on it in Nov 2005 and has ~4500 miles on it post Runoffs... its been a real hard life, but man it still pulls hard! Gotta love that reliable AMS tune!!!!

Thanks for all the support! and yes Marty is crazy! Who needs pavement when you have all that grass and dirt to drive on

Martin, I have a little over 15k on mine now, as for track miles id guess around 9k as a good ball park. It is amazing but I can say CJ and I are putting down identical power despite the extra miles. The motor (to include the turbo) has never been touched other than changing out spark plugs once a year as routine maintenance. These 40 minute road races are pretty tough on the cars running flat out but the Evo has proven amazingly reliable. Thanks guys for a great tune that has given us both power and reliability.... oh and 2 Division titles

Marty

It has been an awesome year for road racing AMS equipped Evos!!!

Thanks for representing us. You two always do us proud!!!

It makes me happy to see Evos doing what they are designed to do and not just going in straight lines.
