SHIFT S3TOR Airstrip Attack 4/7
#27
Jim, Ryan from Shift-S3ctor here. Great meeting you and the Weistec guys and your cars were impressing everyone. I had to pick a lot of jaws up off the floor when the CLK would make a pass.
Also nice to see all of the other familiar faces. Drew's car was strong as aways, and Eric's C63 was ripping as well. Can't thank you guys enough for the support and hope to see you again at the next one.

FWIW I made 660+WHP SAE, and 680+WHP STD on two different dynojets, one at EAS, the other at SpecialtyZ, a well known and widely used dyno in my area.
I know those might seem a tad high but after these runs a few months back with my buddies 730whp STD, Ford GT, they seemed a little low, lol. Makes Jim's win even more impressive.

Great event out there with Shift S3ctor as always. Jim and Drew followed through with the much awaited battle, and the results were nothing short of amazing. I'm lucky to have witnessed it firsthand, and both cars are beyond impressive. Guys that run their cars more than their mouths are far and few in between, so thank you Jim and Drew for being a couple of those rare examples.
And gotta give ACG Automotive and Weistec a big thank you for helping me out at the track with my flat tire. Weistec supplied the tire patch kit, and ACG helped me install it. Great shops with some great people behind them.

Drew / Jim,
Congrats on the runs and your individual wins!! Hats off to Jim and Weistec for the win!![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Wish they had something like that on the east coast. It would be fun racing you guys to get a comparison of a N/A car vs FI.

Great job to both of you for your builds and performance. Stay safe!!

For the record I lost a race to the HPF E46 the following day, that car was fast. I think he turned up boost and ran Meth the time he beat me, he said he was up 100 more home. His car is fully gutted, cage and a single race seat, he said it weighs 3200 pounds.

You beat him pretty bad in that race I would be surprised if he beat you the next day with just meth. He must have turned up the boost just to try and beat you. lol
That second video with the 300C you guys both lost control right before the cone, why did that happen? I am pretty sure you did a burn out right before the video started but I do have to say I love seeing the beast go out of control.

Drew,

I love these types of matches where the results are close.
He probably got a gauge of what he needs to do to win the next race when he lost during that race. Maybe it's time to kick it up a notch on your side?

My CLK is my "BIG DOG" however I have a hard time finding people to run it at these events. They only cars I could run at the event were 1500 hp Ford GT's, 1000whp AMS ALpha10 GT-R's and a 1200 whp Porsche tt. Pretty much everyone was affraid of it after I put up a 182mph pass on my first run of the day. Out of the 150 or so cars at the event only about 8 of them were trapping over 180mph. There were two cars at the event trapping over 200 a tt Porsche and a GT-R and two other cars trapping in the 190's.

I believe Pocono Raceway has a very similar event coming this weekend. I've seen it posted on other forums...but can't find it at the moment.

Anyways, I'll see if I can find some of your runs and post them up.
Still curious if you captured anything on a vbox.

I was the guy filming from the timing booth. So not only did I get 99% of all runs in HiDef video, I also heard the times. Times were impressive no doubt. Were any of these runs from a dig? I'm asking because a few of us thought it sounded like it but could easily be mistaken with all the noise in the area.

Jim,
Great showing by both of your cars out there!
Can't wait for the next one, hopefully we can line up the CLKBS and my GT-R again. I think it would have been a great race with the traps we were putting down consistently all weekend.
All the best!

VERY nice rides, btw. Contrats.
Still curious if you have any vbox data from the event.

It was pretty noisy around us most of the time, but there was one race where all the noise got real quiet and you could hear the cars running from a dig. So that would probably be this race that we were talking about.
It's all good. I'm not an E46 HPF guy. I have my own project going on the E92 platform. It will be much stronger and quite a bit more exotic than Drew's. Where he's DCT, I'm 6MT. So I will have more power, but I shift much slower. Still, the license plate stays. It's all for fun anyways...not meant to be taken too seriously.
