It's been over 2 years since our last video. We apologize. But, we are back in the game and shooting for 11s All Motor!

This is footage from the night we ran our world record 1/4 mile pass of 12.04 @ 113mph.

We are gearing up for the first annual Nissan Infiniti Shootout at Atco Raceway in NJ on Sept 23, 2012! This is an event you DO NOT WANT TO MISS! Please visit http://www.nishootout.com for more information.

Thank you for all your support!

Be sure to turn up the volume!

 

CONGRATS AARON!!! i still have my own hopes of surpassing even these incredible numbers. ahhh, one day. one day.

 

it must have killed you to get so close, good with your times

 

Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help others make their Maxima fast!

Yeah. The previous record was 12.05 with -500' DA and a 3500 stall converter.

Then when I ran the 12.04, I had -1126' DA and a 3600 stall converter. The changes I made to the converter prevented me from seeing 11s since my trap speed suffered too much. The older TC was more efficient.

My new 9" TC should solve all my problems since I will be able to both stall at 4500 or above AND have more whp than before! I am expecting it to shave 4 tenths easily!

 

goodluck im rooting for you

 

So will the new tc be too loose for nitrous

 

No, I don't think so. If it flashes to 4500-5000 all motor, if I attempt to spray out of the hole with nitrous, it'll probably flash 400-500 rpm higher. I should still be ok.

 

Nice video!

 

SICK Video!

 

randomly checkin email on a friday night and saw this.

amazing, nice work. kool vid , put together well. simple and too the point.

the car/engine sounds really clean.

 

Awesome work!

Was that a 5.0 pony you left behind?

 

I was wondering that myself, but my guess is that it's a 4.6

 

Love that vid

 

Nice, love the Powah on that ride....

 

Could be a 5.0. I've seen them run high 12s, low 13s with intake and exhaust; they are not all they are cracked up to be

 

Great video! Can't wait to see when 11's show up at the end of the track.

 

Congrats on all the hard work. Glad me asking a million questions hasnt derailed your success! hahaha

 

congrats!

 

Thank you. I think I'm getting a little better at this video editing thing. But it still took me all day to make this short video.

I think it was a 4.6L. Definitely a V8 Stang.

Me too!

Not at all. I'm happy to help anybody who has questions.

 

There's no doubt that you'll be hitting that 11's soon. Represent the Maxima nation

 

I'm deff going to atco to watch this car run. It's like 15 minutes from my house!

 

WOW!!! Fast car!! Cant wait to see the upgraded version...

 

I'm still not sure if I'll be able to make it. I still have a lot of work left to do on the Maxima before it'll be ready for the race.

Thanks guys!

 

You ever hear back about tech and the ruling on cages

 

Nope. They won't answer my question in the NI Shootout thread. But you'll probably have to email them at info@nishootout.com.

I think Atco is an NHRA track. That means that 11.99 or faster requires a rollbar. IHRA is 11.49 or faster. But I doubt Atco will kick you out unless you are running low 11s or 10s without a rollbar. Even then, it's not an NHRA race and it's solely up to the track officials. But it is a good question to ask them before you make the trip out there.

 

Atco is only a few minutes from my house and I go often. They have weird rules like no racing without a helmet and it doesn't matter how slow the car is, were as Cecil doesn't car till you start running 12's. Atco is a nhra track and recently started asking for a fire jacket if you have nitrous or aftermarket turbo system and checking for extend studs and open lugs when your running slicks

And what makes things worst is they rarely answer the phone so you can even call the track

 

first and foremost, congrats on the sweet times!

Atco doesn't require a cage until you touch 11.49 or faster. Ask me how I know lol..

but Tom is right about Atco as far as tech inspection, and most recently I have been checked for a functioning battery tie down.

 

Yeah, I've been to a track that enforces a helmet regardless of how fast or slow your car is. But NHRA rules state you need a helmet if you're 13.99 or faster. But any track has the right to change those rules anytime they want.

And open lugs are required under NHRA rules so the tech inspector can see how many threads are being engaged. And a fire jacket is required with nitrous. Most real tracks will enforce these rules.

Thank you. It sounds like Atco is not so quick to kick you out since they don't require a rollbar until 11.49 or faster. If they wanted to be strict about it, they wouldn't allow you to run if you were 11.99 or faster since they are an NHRA track.

Yeah, a battery tie down is probably the very first thing most inspectors check. Open lug nuts, cracks in the windshield, fire jacket with nitrous, and long pants are probably the most common things I can think of that major tracks will not budge on.

But my local track doesn't even have a tech inspection. They wouldn't stop you until they see a tire fall off or oil spewing out on the track. haha Regardless, I always do my best to follow the NHRA rulebook when building and racing my car since it's more strict than the IHRA rulebook. This allows me to be safer and run at any track in the nation without any problems passing tech.

 

Aaron get a SFI jacket if you don't already have one. It does get a little chilly there at night. LOL can not speak for ATCO but I know if you exceed the E.T. cut off without proper safety equiptment at E-town or Maple Grove you will be one and done.
Ask me how I know.

Andy

 

Yeah. I don't wear a jacket right now since it's not required while running 12s naturally aspirated. But it wouldn't be a bad thing to wear regardless. I'll grab one before my next trip to the track.

And I just read the updated NHRA rulebook and found out that I don't need a roll bar until 11.49. It use to be 11.99 or faster. And a jacket for NA cars is 11.49 or faster. So I can make the upgrades all at once as soon as I start getting close to mid 11s. Rollbar, jacket, seat belt harness, metal valve stems, etc.

 

good job Aaron.

 

Thanks.

 

Nice.......sounds and moves like a beast

 

Thank you. I just love how strong the car sounds during the first burnout in this video. It is a 2nd gear burnout. It's really the only way to get the slicks hot enough. 1st gear doesn't cut it.
