Forged Performance: One Lap of America 2012 Updates

ChadB@Forged · 05-09-2012, 09:29 PM

We had a great day at Motorsports Park Hastings today. The Forged Performance GT-R to run really strong and Catesby is very pleased with the setup.

Catesby writes, “After our uncharacteristic 5th place finish in Mid America due to the 91 octane fuel and very wet conditions, Sharif and I decided it would be a bad idea to chase Leh down and potentially make a mistake given the point gap. Hopefully, we continue to knock down a few more podium finishes so we can close out the event as runner up. It’s pretty clear, that Leh and me will continue to go 1 and 2 unless something unexpected happens. But without question, Forged’s FP800R package, tweaked with a Sharif’s special sauce is really a dream to drive fast. Their engine hasnt consumed even one drop of oil after 2000 miles. And given the fact he was finishing the final tuning just before we left for OLOA makes it even more impressive. The power deliver is very linear yet just enough punch in the midrange to launch me off the corners. And speaking of launch, the launch control that he whipped up gives me another advantage from these stand start races we are competing in. Congratulations to Leh for some spectacular driving. He pushes to qualifying level n the first lap and never lets up. Sharif and I have some big plans for next year and we promise to make it just a bit harder for Leh to retain his title.”
So with that, we continue our 644 mile transit drive to Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota with a very convincing 2nd place overall standing.

Who says you can’t wreck in an Auto-X..ouch.

I was coming back from Moab Utah on the 8th, heading east on Rt 70. About 25 miles west of Hayes Kansas. I spotted you guys heading west.
That was a nice rolling car show you guys put on.

I watched you all roll by for over an hour. Loved the construction and the state police every 5 miles on that road in Kansas too.
