I haven't created a post in a while, but I thought I would share our team's efforts, JD Motorsports. I will routinely update this thread, as it seems the Motorsports section on this site needs some more activity!
Last year we ended the season with a 1:49.4 at GTA's Super Lap 2014 event at Buttonwillow Raceway park. This was accomplished on a factory long block only putting out 400 whp on RRE's dynapack due to a certain vendor sending us the wrong wastegate, not once, but three times.... With a a lot of aero and suspension tweaks to get the mechanical and aero grip up for much faster cornering, we are the first and only stock block Evo that we know of to crack the illusive Sub 1:50 territory at Buttonwillow.
Below are some photo's of the car at SLB where we finished with a top 5 finish in Modified AWD despite struggling with some mechanical and set up issues after some last minute changes. After reviewing the winning team's data (they posted their GPS speed data on Youtube, lucky us!), we found out we were the same in the corners and even faster in some. Not bad for some KW V3's that we tweaked specifically for the car. Unfortunately for us, we were left in the dust in the straights, with as much a 17 mph top speed difference at some points around Buttonwillow. We need more powa!!!
This year we plan to further develop the aero package, engine, and suspension in the pursuit of even faster lap times. I will routinely share updates here in this thread.
Thanks for reading.
