What a weekend… and man are we exhausted.
We brought our shop car out to
@scsn_psca and like any brand-new build, it wouldn’t be a real adventure without a few roadblocks.
Night before the event we tried testing launch control and were greeted with a wall of VCDS faults. Thankfully, Simon jumped online and spent the time digging through everything until he figured out how to clear it all. By around 9am we had it sorted — even though we were supposed to leave the night before — so we packed up and sent it to Vegas.
Then Mother Nature decided to keep things interesting…
Between rain delays and constant schedule shifts, we only got two quarter-mile passes in over three days. First day we didn’t get down the track at all. So we focused on data and ran our low-boost map — peaking at just 37 psi. Even with a terrible launch (18 psi and a 1.8 sixty-foot), the car still went 9.6 @ 154 mph. Tons of potential left on the table, but the weather just wasn’t cooperating.
The
@alberta.racing.engines sleeved engine? Flawless. Hasn’t skipped a beat since touching four digits on the dyno.
Huge shoutout to:
•
@miss_midnight_maverick — for driving the wheels off this thing and helping us sort out this new chassis all weekend
•
@s_jacobs89 — for the killer remote tuning and putting up with my chaos
• Mingze
@jdyperformance — for an amazing turbo kit and great support
• Dima
@deka_clutches — your HD1400 took 8 dyno hits back-to-back with zero cool down AND this whole weekend at the track without even thinking about slipping
•
@oneway_welds_nd_repairshop — for all the fabrication work and getting our cage certified to 8.50
Now we just need a private track day so we can knock a full second off and really get this thing dialed in.
The potential is there — and we’re just getting started. 🔥 and like usual we were the fastest audi on premises
