WINNERS:

3L Maxima All Motor Street - Chris Holloway

Nissan Unlimited - Jim Edwards
Nissan All Motor Street - Anton Spalding
Quick 8 - Jim Edwards

RACING HIGHLIGHTS:
With the extremely hot temperatures, the air density altitude was roughly 2100 feet above sea level. This makes it incredibly difficult to achieve low 1/4 mile times and produce engine horsepower. But, even with the harsh conditions, the MAXUS 09 Drag Showdown was a huge success!

Jim Edwards drove all the way from Canada to race in this event. He put down the fastest time of the day of 11.28 @ 123mph with his 95 Maxima VQ35 while spraying nitrous. He also went on to win the Nissan Unlimited class and Quick 8 at the end of the day!

Aaron Kimball of NWP Engineering made his way from North Carolina to be at this event after spending the entire winter completing the 92 Maxima VQ35 engine swap. After qualifying 2nd next to Jim Edwards' All Motor 95 Maxima, he went on to beat him in the finals with a 12.80 to his 12.88. The margin of victory was only 8 thousandths of a second due to Jim's quick reaction time. The cars appeared to be dead locked the entire way down the track. It was definitely the single tightest and most exciting race the entire day with the NWP Engineering car only winning by exactly 1 foot and 3 inches! Aaron's best All Motor time of the day was a 12.76 at 108mph.

^ doesn't this guy have a 3.5 swap ^

 

Maybe i'll have working axles at the next Maxus so I can run, and lose.

Good Job everyone! It was fun watching Maximas run all day.

 

Looks like a good time. Unfortunatley I had to take my son to Greensboro for a track meet.

 

FAIL, DONT COMMENT ON WHAT YOU DONT KNOW!!! ITS CALLED DE-K IF YOU LIVED AROUND HERE YOU WOULD KNOW NOBODY HERE HAS A 3.5 SWAP ANYMORE!

 

You should have taken him to our track meet at MIR.

 

DA-MAX was our tech inspector. We wanted a very knowledgeable guy inspecting all the Maximas to make sure they qualified for the class. If the car had a 3.5 engine swap, it would have been placed in the NA Maxima Unlimited class.

 

Sounds like a cool event, wish I could have been there.

 

Wow, great times. Was interested to see what Brad would run, 13.3 @ 110 is pretty impressive!

Pretty awesome, both 3rd gens trapping at near 110 and one running low 13's and the other running 12's. Way to go Brad and Aaron!

 

I see that US air isn't as friendly to Jime's car as that Canadian air I kid. That looked like a lot fun. A decent amount of cars racing too.

 

i guess you needed a new tech inspector because he def had a 3.5 but i guess a couple people got overlooked

Edit: Go figure, his sig used to say :Work in progress 13.9 @ 101
3.5 swap, JWT 7200, Eletric cutout, SSIM, OBX V2 Headers, D2 coilovers 97-99 front and rear swap + interior swap

but now:
Work in progress 13.9 @ 101
JWT 7200, Eletric cutout, SSIM, OBX V2 Headers, D2 coilovers 97-99 front and rear swap + interior swap

you forgot to delete SSIM Cuz!! LMAO!! the 3.0 class was won by a 14.4 Running 3.5

 

hahhahahahahaha!!! thats funny... if aaron said they inspected, then dammit they inspected ... 3.5 not found lls

 

LOL, are you serious this guy deleted part of his sig. Honestly I would have deleted it too if I won a 3.0 n/a shootout with a 4.5gen with headers and a jwt ecu and then only ran mid 14's

 

Doesnt have the ecu in The car....jus fyi......

 

Maybe once he realized that he slipped by he was sandbaging? Or maybe he blew his motor? Or had someone elses car? Either way I'm in for the findings for sure!

 

Sometimes thing get overlooked there were alot of cars there and not alot of time to race.

 

Didnt have to run anything faster than that so y try.....not sayin he was right for what he did...but if u wanna cry and complain about something go to the pwrson who so called tech inspected the car....

 

sometimes tech people miss things, never attemped to point blame in the tech guy direction but the owner of the car knew what class he was running and what he was in his car

**** the tech guy may have thought no one would have done something so petty

so this makes it right, I think Aaron should update the maxus site with the guy who came in 2nd place as the offical winner

 

you dont get it he got up when they announced him the WINNER of the 3L Shootout and went on stage and accepted the trophy like wtf

 

i didn't really watch the tech inspection for everyone else... but I never had to open my hood. granted i waited until 10:30 before going through tech... so maybe da max was already doing other stuff by then, and that's why nobody looked under my hood.

 

For all this Tom you should of went down and ran with in the 3L shootout maybe you would of got over looked too

 

fuuny thing about this was that i got to MIR around 9:30 and "ol boy" was already there going up and down the track so he had to be 1 of the 1st people that registered for the specific event so there's really no excuse

 

I ran from 9:15-9:50 and the only 4th gen that I saw around then was IIRC dark green or black and it dusted me, I'm pretty sure it ran a 13.9, he was the only car to beat me so I can look over my timeslips and see. FTR I was in the white M35x

 

 

13.39 @ 110mph @ 9:38 AM, I wonder if that's him, I know for sure it was dark green or black.

 

well i don't actually know what 'da max' looks like, so i'm not sure if he was still on tech patrol when i went through or not. odds are he wasn't, and the track people could have cared less what motor i was running (not sure if they'd even know my VG from a VE or a VQ30 or 35, tbh)

 

what's the dude's forum name? just curious

 

he didn't spray as much as he did for his record-setting run in canada. primarily because he wanted to be on the safe side in terms of making it hope without paying $$$$$$$ for towing.

 

I think that was the turbo 3rd gen. That car was great!

 

i2vicious2

 

Lol

 

lowest 4th gen there

 

I know, I got to dyno it! I can't wait to see if it breaks 400 if he gets his ebc issue worked out, I think it can! And yeah I think you might be rightm my bad.

 

what are these member's .org names?
Jason proctor (what happened to your finals run? that wouldve been an awesome race)
Jonathan Dupree
Anton Spalding

 

LOOK IM NOT GONNA TURN THIS INTO A GREAT DEBATE BECAUSE ITS NOT WORTH IT!!! NONE OF YALL are worth my time, and you 93 altima or whoever you are you dont know me, or none of the rest of yall know me! i do all my own work and i dont need to have one of yall to tell me what i have in my car! my car was tech inspected..... yall dont know me.....

haha, mid 14's on a 3.5 swap, hahaha

 

How about the guy that was running a 75 shot on a 5.5 gen in the all motor class and still barley broke 14s.
