On August - 28 - 2009
August 28, 2009 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – It seemed like a cruel joke, but Kyle Mohan could hardly believe his ears after qualifying for the Formula Drift Pro Championship at Infineon Raceway. For the third time this season, he would have to face Cooper Tires teammate and friend Tony Brakohiapa in the round of 32. Read the rest of this entry »
The disaster formerly known as CFC
On August - 26 - 2009
Forgive me for not following along with big government logic on this one. What a cluster this entire program turned out to be. It is absolutely the case of doing something just for the sake of activity and that is the most dangerous kind in my opinion. The AAIA and SEMA summed it up pretty darn well in the statements that the two have made over and over. The two had been fighting the bill from the beginning and all the way through the House and Senate. Read the rest of this entry »
So what if I’m a Porsche guy now?
On August - 26 - 2009
One of my favorite all time race cars in history is the Porsche 935. It really gave a “boost” to the turbo era that boomed in the 1970’s. The 935 (loosely based on a 911) was introduced in 1976 (the year I was born!), and shocked the world with it’s debut. The performance was staggering. Utilizing a flat 6 cylinder 3.0 mated with a single KKK turbocharger, the engine produced a mind blowing 560hp. Read the rest of this entry »

On August - 26 - 2009
Congratulations to Ron Main & George Poteet on becoming the world’s first turbocharged car to go over 400 miles per hour. Speed Demon goes 401.285! They say that if you have an ounce of motorsports in your blood then you have to get to the salt once in your life.

John Urist’s 1000+ HP Ford Mustang Turbo Kit
On August - 24 - 2009
Do You Need 1,000 HP At The Wheels? No, You Don’t, But You Know You Want It Anyway, And John Urist’s Hellion Power Systems Has A Bolt-On Kit To Do It, Plus Make Big Power With The GT500.
Article from HOT ROD Magazine -By Rob Kinnan
On the DynoJet at Motiva Performance Engineering, the Hellion turbo kit made 1,032 hp and 976 lb-ft on pump gas.Driving a car with a legitimate 1,000 hp on the street is nearly impossible without killing yourself and every innocent bystander around, but oh boy is it a lot of fun. Fifteen years ago, making that kind of power meant a 2,000-rpm idle, horrible street manners, and 4-mpg fuel economy. Thanks to the wonders of turbochargers and EFI technology, it’s now fairly easy to make four-digit power–but you still have to use expensive race gas to get there, right?

Team Top Tuner
On August - 22 - 2009
Congratulations to the Top Tuner Team for their Ultimate Best of Show win at HIN Boston!
When I first got a phone call last summer from a magazine guy trying to give me the “pitch” about some car that I just had to be involved with I was more than a little skeptical. You the type right, “Of this thing is gonna be awesome, it will be on the cover, blah, blah blah. You see, we get numerous sponsorship proposals every day. Some are not yet ready for corporate support, others have potential if the money doesn’t run out and some have true ROI. Rarely do I get no-brainers, sure fire winners for the company. In fact I can count the number of times that I have been lucky enough to get something special across my desk. Read the rest of this entry »
