Injected Performance Wins Street RWD at Autobahn

Aaron Leichty and Injected Performance were proud to win the Redline Time Attack Street RWD class at this past weekend’s event at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, IL. Although it is Round 3 of the 2009 season, Autobahn is the first venue for the east coast segment of the series tour. We decided to team up with Aaron, a local customer, and his NASA TTC-prepared Honda S2000 to take a shot at victory in the Street RWD class - popular for Honda S2000s and Nissan 350Zs.

After setting up for the weekend, Aaron began his Saturday practice sessions testing out his new 275/40-17 Nitto NT-05s and giving rides to some of the employees and friends of Injected who traveled in support of the weekend. Even from the first run groups, Aaron’s times were in the low 1:42’s and 1:41’s, a promising start for Sunday’s Time Attack sessions.

As the day went on, times dropped across the board. Rides were exchanged, videos were watched, and plenty of water was drank in order to fight the severe heat and humidity of the afternoon. The day ended with optimistic hope for even lower times for Sunday’s main event.

Overnight, even more cars showed up in attendance. Hundreds, if not thousands, of spectators were on hand to represent the Chicagoland area and its enthusiasm for motorsports (and local powerhouse AMS). Two additional practice sessions in the morning were to determine the grid order for the first of two Time Attack sessions on Sunday afternoon. After both sessions had completed, Aaron qualified for third overall in the entire Stock/Street category, which had 28 participants.

Aaron’s times spoke for themselves, as he established a significant lead among his Street RWD competitors that would not be overtaken. His first session brought in a low 1:40, good enough to maintain his third place overall standing in the Stock/Street category, and first place in the Street RWD class. Immediately following the first Time Attack sessions, it became very clear that rain showers were imminent. Organizers decided to cancel the practice session in between Time Attack sessions to run both timed sessions back to back. In retrospect, this was a crucial decision, as rain arrived soon after the very last timed laps of the second session.

The second session was even more generous to Aaron than the first. After two back to back high 1:39 laps, Aaron pulled in for the event to take home first place in Street RWD and third overall in the Stock/Street category. His closest competitor in Street RWD would end up almost 2.5 seconds behind. After a persistent rain shower, a quick trophy presentation, and efficient packing job for the six hour trip home, Injected Performance headed home for the night.

Stay tuned for announcements of the next event we will be attending!

Zdayz Dyno Shootout a Huge Success!

We were proud to host two full days of free dyno sessions at this year’s ZdayZ at Fontana Village, NC. In total, 36 participants signed their cars up for a free dyno session. Of all of the cars tested, we decided to award several trophies after Saturday’s dinner.

Shawn Ellis took home our trophy for the highest horsepower (naturally aspirated) with his 2007 350Z utilizing a few choice bolt on modifications to the VQ35HR, which is already a strong motor from the factory. He was able to make 282 whp on our Dyno Dynamics.

On the other side of the scale, Randy Shemin’s 1971 240Z took the honors of lowest horsepower, with a respectable 127 whp. We knew that his car was a likely contender for this award when “fresh oil” was listed under “major motor modifications”!

Paul McElroy and Stephen Kirovar were awarded some of our other novelty trophies, for “best powerband” and “favorite car to dyno,” respectively.

Joe Kenefic’s 2005 350Z won our highest overall horsepower award in his twin turbo setup running on E85. Making 651 whp on his final pull, quite a crowd had gathered to see his yellow monster wrap up our shootout. Joe was also awarded our “highest boost” trophy.

In a spur of the moment decision to make things a bit more interesting, we decided to host a “guess the horsepower” raffle for the dyno of our well-known drag car, which can make up to almost 1300 whp at full boost. Although it had been de-tuned for the weekend, in preparation for running Forged Performance’s “Top Dawg Airstrip Event,” it was still guaranteed to put on quite a show. Over 40 bystanders had signed up for the $1 raffle to see who could come closest to guessing the horsepower on Sunday afternoon.

When it was all said and done, Alisha Young walked away as the winner, guessing 973 whp. Our car actually produced 964 whp on its most conservative tune. Dozens upon dozens of Zdayz attendees stopped by to watch, but anyone in the Fontana Village area certainly heard it.

Despite staying busy the entire weekend, Zdayz 2009 overall was an amazing success for us and the organization as a whole. We look forward to making 2010 bigger, better, and more exciting for everyone involved!
