Its acually been a very good day for Mitsubishi at the Nopi event - the 4G63 machines have turned the the tables on the HONDAS who customarily have dominated the T4 class. The AMS car and the Showdown 2nd G are both cars that have a serious chance to win as well ast the #1 qualifier who is 4G63 equiped.

Similarly in the power street class the Evos and in the top four spots !

A great day of you are a fan!!!!!

It will be interesting to see how the day pans out.

For myself, I am quite pleased as a 10.01 was the fastest possible time I could have properly qualified as NOPI requires a pro license for anyone running 9.99 or faster which i dont have. My position in the lader is ideal and I should make it through to the second round which will give me two chances to run 9's if something doesnt break !

I plan to run into the 9's today in eliminations and hope to get ONE warning - the second time they will remove me from the event.

 

What tire?However,congrats for nice 60'.Would you add in alky?Hope to see you broke your own record.Any video?

 

Why would he add alky when he is running C16

 

Yeah Al, what tires are you using?

 

congrats on the time Al, cant wait to see the numbers drop..

 

Must be hard to run the car the best you can but at the same time not break 9s.

 

Great information. 1.49 is a completely sick 60. Go

 

Awesome!

 

congrats Al .... keep it up and keep us posted ...

Seems AMS put Al on the trailer even though he had a better RT.


Also in Power street 2 mitsubishis that were there earlier seem to have not been able to make it baqck that usually means technical difficulty.

Sean

 

Hey Sean, has Brent Rau made any passes today??????? And did Shep fix the Beast??

 

Sick ::

 

Man - what a GREAT weekend - it was a great event at NOPI and a really well run event with lots of great racing action

My car ran great - but I was afflcited with a serious case of IDIOT itis today

In the first round I planned to hit it with a 75 shot - put in a NOS tune and neglected to TURN ON THE BOTTLE !

I still won and man that stroker was great even with a weak tune up

Allan Friedman Mitsubishi Evo VIII .253 10.187 139.26 Winner
Rob Pachner Dodge .295 10.358 138.67

In the second round I was paired against the AMS evo 8 which required me to step up the tune - remember to turn on the bottle and also drive it like I stole it !

I fully intended to blow up or beat them

It was a great moment for me - that kind of action is a huge rush and what I live for

I treed them bad and took at least a two car lead

I shifted into 2nd and the NOS kicked in on this Buschur stroker and i felt power i never knew before - it nailed me into the seat so hard it was completely intxicating this massive application of tq

STUPIDLY I did not remember that the rev limiter waqs set a bit lower with the stroker and I ran right into it and when I hit it the car felt like a bomb went off

The car nosed down and my ***** slammed into my 5 point harness

I was feeling like the rear end exploded so I started to coast

Nothing was wrong - the data log showed I just was a buffon and forgot to shift

Next time a shift light !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Buschur Racing engine kicks major ***

I will be back to the track !
