Hey guys,

I just wanted to share with the road racing enthusiast some results from our past weekend.

Forged had a really great weekend at Carolina Motorsports Park, in spite of the 6-8 inches of snow that fell on Friday night which made for a VERY exciting haul from Atlanta to Kershaw, SC. We arrived to the track on Saturday morning, to the sight of a half foot of snow over the entire track. Surprisingly by noon, the snow melted and the track completely dried out.

By the end of the weekend, we set the fastest lap recorded at a NASA Time Trial event at CMP, with a hot lap of 1:36.8 http://www.mylaps.com/results/showrun.jsp?id=1404823
This bested the previous record for over 3 full seconds previously held by a 996 TT back in 2008. Thought I would share the results, and include a quick video of one of the faster laps. The track was a handful to say the least and very green after all the snow. Grip was lacking, and the track was very inconsistent through the day.

Setup:
Stock turbos
About 525whp (Dyno Dynamics)
JRZ Triples
Hoosier A6's (295/315)
Aeromotions R2.Two Active Wing

The Nissan GTR was Piloted by Sharif Abdelbaset.

Enjoy the Video!!!

As someone who has personally witnessed a stock GTR rocket off from a dead stop all I can say is you can make plenty of cars faster but that car was built for brutal but controlled acceleration....its must be fun as hell to drive on the street.

Awesome times.

Question: Why go with the A6 in lieu of the R6? How does the A6 hold up to longer stints?

Well the Hoosier A6's are super soft. They get hot very fast in 1-2 laps completely up to temp. While the R6's are great for extended racing.

In the time attacks you only have 3 laps to do what you have to do to win. So you need a A6, or a C91 for Unlimited Class. The R6's wouldn't even get up to temp in time.

Man it was somewhere up in Kennesaw.....some @$$h0le named Ryan I think was driving it....LOL. It just reminded me of what my dream car was. It looked like something out of a scary movie, Black on Black......SICK. I've been telling everyone I know about. I know I'm not doing it justice though. Seeing is believing.

Haha, I got a little wheel slip too, hope I didn't spray rocks or salt or whatever it was behind me too bad ;)

Thanks Dan, our support crew always works hard, they will appreciate that :)

Nice run Sharif!! I was there but EVO was not ready so ran a backup. Even that broke down. Can definitely attest to the craziness of the snow storm and driving to CMP from Atlanta....:eek:
