Default Forged Performance Takes 2nd Place at Redline Time Attack Round 3

Hopefully I can leave this here, as most of our customers are in this forum!

Finally get back, and caught up on sleep and messages, but wanted to let you know our first Time Attack of the year got off to a great start. It was quite a dogfight out there. I'll have some video on my final timed sessions up in just a bit.

Hope to see more of you at these events. I here that Greg and Hal at Injected Performance are planning to build a crazy Time Attack car as well. http://www.forgedperformance.com/ind...207&Itemid=119

Video of the final Time Attack Session...give it some time, since it's still processing.

Congrats Sharif and FP on another podium finish!

Was the EVO X that was there the blue one that was featured in modified this month? It sounded like it might have been from what i saw on twitter...

That's the one! I can't think of a nicer guy and car to loose to. His EvoX weighs 2800lbs, makes 500whp, and Ryan is a natural. My GT-R weighs 3600lbs (stripped down).

Always stirring the pot. Yes, my daily driver GT-R beat him by 4 seconds, and it didn't take me 4 off road exercursions to do that. Seemed like every practice session I went out, I saw him in the bushes.

Apparently so, as he was sideways about 75% of the time he wasn't going straight. I think I saw his helmet a few times....

Congrats Sharif! Nice write up on your website. So there's some strategy even before the race starts - good luck at the next round.

Congrats Sharif.

Nice run.

Is the EvoX Ryan your Ryan? I know he has an Evo, but I don't know his last name. If so, extend a congratulations to him as well.

Ryan Doi is my sales manager, and he actually is finishing his Evo8 Time Attack car as we speak. It's some a pretty impressive build.

Ryan Gates lives in MN, and AMS prepared his car.
