The last event they had back in the spring everyone kept breaking sh*t because of the track prep being to good. Or was that last years event? I remember reading about it.

same with this year. every other dsm kept breaking. it was getting annoying. they should give the dsm's their own track to break every other pass on.

theres only a select few dsm's that actually dont break. ETS, gastroker, kiggly, maps rx7, etc.. missing a handful more but you get the idea. map did blow a hg but they have a catch for the fluid so you couldnt even tell.

Its just every time a dsm went down the track you would sit there and pray it wouldnt do something stupid.

I heard some horribly tuned vehicles as well goin down that track.

We had a good time, although the car was running super rich and misfiring due to believing a dying O2 sensor and then it ate the oil pump on the second pass. Spitting and sputtering at 9.0:1 AFR it ran 8.8 at 155 and 8.9 at 150mph. This wasn't exactly what we were hoping to do, but when I went to lean it out to an ignitable AFR for Q3 I found the stream of oil covering the timing belt area. It was definitely nice to be back at the shootout since we missed last year. Its a great event with great people. Thanks for putting this event on every year Buschur Racing.

The track was great too, even with a bunch of misfires before the 60' the first hit was a 1.320 60' time with no tire shake (poor track conditions bring on tire shake if the car is too aggressive). With it firing clean it would have definitely been a high 1.2 as the car normally pulls and the power curve off the line was set up for. The track probably had more in it as well based on the tire lack-of-graining pattern after the first couple passes. I'm sure it wasn't as great later in the day, but it was excellent for the 10am and 11am sessions.

On the positive side, this means it was running 8.3's at about a 9.5:1 AFR and 43-45psi. Next time out will be leaner and hopefully more boost, gunning for 7's as we were intending to attempt at the shootout.

I'm sure this car inspired alot of people to start modifying DSMs (me being on of them). I can't wait to see this car back on the track. It's been like 3 or 4 years now, right?

HAHA i cant believe after the show i put on for the 2 cops trying to get into the parking lot i was not stopped and asked if i was drunk. ''no i was not'' but holy crap. i was so confused. i almost drove across the grass at the same time of driving on the wrong side of the road. then a hard right turn back across the hole road into the parking lot. meanwhile 2 cops where right behind me and 2 other cops where next to where we were parked. eppic.
