I just want to say great job to all the EVOs that showed up last night at California Speedway, you guys were running strong, and the ones that weren't just need alittle more practice at launching and shifting. There were two 11 second EVOs there and I've been trying to find more info on them. One of the EVOs was red with Exedy on the sides, the other was yellow with LFlow egineering on the sides, anybody know what I'm talking about? Can you give more info on them?

 

Yeah! We were doing good. We supposed to do better if there were another 2 11s evos coming. There're both yellow (one has problem with fuel pump and the other is IE EVO was already run the day before). There were 11s runs by two red and yellow evos mentioned and a few 12s runs that including mine and a friend.

The red one belong to a shop called GT Motorsport which specialized in Subaru but started tuning EVO recently. Both cars are heavy mods (upgraded turbos and stroke kit) and tuning (AEM EMS) by Scott as far as I know of.

I was there and definitely suck. My best 60' is 1.8 and my trap is 117 but my best time is 12.7 so there's definitely something wrong in the mid by the way I shifted (no missed shift) from 3rd gear to 4th or my car reflash (I'm starting to suspect). I noticed that after shifting to 4th gear, the car was hesitate before pulling unlike when I was shifting in lower gears.

Anyway, yeah it was packed and I only got 3 runs but had to stay until closed.

 

What times/traps did the 11 sec evos manage?

 

I thought the Yellow GT Motorsports Evo was the only 11 sec Evo at 122 mph. I know the Red one(official shop car) did 12 flat at 122mph. Both cars are fully built stroker kits,head work AEM Ems etc. So both did 11s I did not know that. Cool stuff. 3000 ways call Gt Motorsports to get more info. They are located In Rancho Cucamonga and the Yellow one was in an Import Magazine not to long ago. Both have over 500 to the wheels. I believe on the last run Scott turned up the juice but the launch control on the Yellow one appeared to stall the car on the line and it ***ed up the pass. That car definitely will go deep 11s as I checked his timeslip out on his 11.5 pass and his 60 ft was less than Stellar. When he did get it going that car moved and it would of been nice to see a 10 sec Evo in So Cal.

 

The dragstrip was totally crowded. The Speedway staff was very unorganized in directing the traffic to let the cars in. My buddy and I almost didn't get to race because of there stupidity. It was nice meeting you, G20. Those trap speeds you were getting were pretty good. I was playing with my water injection set up, but needed a way to lean out my A/F ratio in order to see some decent results. I'll return with a SAFC on 4/8/05 to hopefully better my time. Due to the crowd, I was forced to park towards the end of the track and saw the Skyline fly past me and hit the sand. I swear that guy flew by without letting off the throttle! I'm wondering if he misestimated the end of the track.

 

the yellow one i saw go 11.5@122mph

 

I was dethroned! I held the Evo crown at Cal Speedway for one day.

 

Oh it was the yellow one that ran 11.5@122MPH, for some reason i thought it was the red one. Didn't the red one run 11.8@122MPH? I believe it was the race were one of them stalled out at the start.

 

He might have on the last run come to think of it. He did do a 12 flat with a 2.1 60ft on his 1st run so his car definitely has more whp and tq than mine.
