022816 – Import Face-Off Bakersfield Recap

The first event of the year was a good one. After a long drive down south the team was able to bring home the win.

The 16-car field marks the greatest turnout for the class in many years. Cannot wait to see the great competition in the class this year. With 4 cars capable of running 9 second passes and 4 other cars on the cusp of breaking the 9 second barrier this season is bound to be full of tight competition!

Looking forward to the next event in Sacramento at CMI!

Quick weekend Recap Video.

Import Face-Off Bakersfield

The February 28, 2016 marked the first time the team came out with the new setup.

Driver, Tuk Su Yi was able to hit a PB off the trailer with a 9.69@143.

With this time the team was able to secure the #1 qualifying spot so they fired up the grill to await Eliminations.

Tried to get the car ready for the first two IFO events of the year but was not able to finish in time due to a backorder on the headgasket.

Here are some pics of parts that were purchased for the new season!

Prepping for the 2016 Season

After hitting the 9s pass the team decided it was time to step up the race program.With some help of some Sponsors the following was done.

Much of the competition was running upgraded fuel systems so the Lawrencebuilt team decided to follow suit. Saying goodbye to the trusty Walbro, they moved to a Weldon with upgraded Injector Dynamics injectors. Big thanks to Brian @B&R Fittings.

Jeremy @Drag Cartel stepped in and helped the team out with a new top end and a block from ERL for the new setup.

Javier @Hondata provided the EMS and traction control for the new found power.

With the help of the FCS Degree wheel everything was put together and the team was ready to rock!
