2013 Modified Shootout Participants Needed
 

The Modified Magazine Street Car Shootout is back for another year and being held in the Phoenix, AZ area, with UMS Tuning hosting the dyno competition (March 15th, 2013) and NASA AZ hosting all the on-track action at Firebird International Raceway (March 16th, 2013).

There will be four events that will judge the performance of your car: Dyno + emissions + dB (35 points), Drag (75 points), Autocross (100 points) and Time Attack (100 points). The car with the highest overall score from these four events will win the overall championship. Trophies will also be awarded to the highest scoring FWD, RWD, and AWD cars.

Once again Continental Tire is the title sponsor. Teams will therefore be requiring to compete on Continental Extreme Contact DW summer tires, which come in a wide range of sizes.

The Rules:
•Your car must be equipped with:
◦OEM windscreen and windows (Lexan or other lightweight glass replacements not permitted).
◦OEM fuel tank (fuel cells not permitted) and unleaded or e85 fuel.
◦OEM lighting (headlights, turn signals, and taillights must all be functional, as is required on a street legal vehicle)
◦A full interior from the front seats forward (aftermarket seats and harnesses permitted. Roll bars and roll cages may be added, but interior trim can only be modified to the extent required to fit these safety items). HVAC and stereo/nav system removal permitted.
◦A full exhaust system (no cut-outs or bypasses permitted), including a functional catalytic converter) and muffler.

•You may put any driver you want in your car and there is no requirement for the same driver to pilot the vehicle during the 3 timed events. You can, therefore, opt to have a drag racer do the 1/4-mile runs and then swap in a Time Attack driver for that portion of the event. You may also choose to have different drivers pilot your car during the same event (ie. you can have more than one driver make a pass during the drag runs, but your team will still be limited to 3 passes total).

•You may change the aero, suspension, brake and ECU settings of your vehicle between events in any manner you wish. You can, for example, choose to remove the rear wing for the 1/4-mile runs and put it back on for the Time Attack. Similarly, you can run a high boost map on the dyno and then run a lower boost map for the autocross or time attack events.

•You are permitted to repair your vehicle between events, but you cannot change major mechanical parts between events unless it's a necessary repair to complete the competition (you can fix stuff that breaks, but we don't want teams switching turbos, rear ends, or other major mechanical components between events because we feel that places too much stress on the teams).

•Continental will be providing the street tires for this event and you will be provided with one set for the entire event.


If you think you've got a car worthy of entry into this event, please send us the following:
•Photos of your vehicle including exterior, interior and engine bay shots
•A list of modifications made to your car
•Why we should pick your vehicle for this competition

That would be amazing to compete in this! I wish my car was good enough to. One day....

Well Brian Gillespe told me he would be in this years event, hopefully with a supercharged V6 in his rex

Damn maybe next year for me. Ima be at this watching atleast if not running with nasa the same day

wonder if the boosted hatch would be worthy for this competition, ive got no racing experience tho.. thats a lil intimidating. very interested tho

Submitted.

If you've never done HPDE, it probably would be difficult unless you went in with a team and someone with track knowledge was driving.

makes sense ^^

Good stuff Ravi.

If you are picked/chosen/etc and need a hand with support, I will volunteer my efforts.

I have applied the last 3 years... my car is generally regarded as too 'stock' for magazine exposure so it usually gets overlooked.

Feel free to email Peter and chime in some support!

ITB for the win. I vote ravi! Too bad u dont have the cherry blossom graphics.

Well, we do know people Ravi...we could make it happen!

I messaged Dave P. about it too.

Who knows, maybe i'll get a chance!

My car is just so stockish lol!

Because racecar

What about swapping cozs wide body and wing....

because stockish racecar. haha

Last year They said my car had too many decals. Looked too much like a racecar. :samuri:

I like my car because of its stockish life :)

I like your car too, unless it is in the rain!

god its scary as shit with those crap tastic tires in the rain! lol

Btw... got a response

And???

Crappy end of the weekend but do u think u will be ready for this if u have been chosen?

If it needs to be ready, it will be ready.

Good... im glad... heard u already got it cleaned. If u need help with anything lmk.

I need to get the bodywork painted :( Thats gonna be the PITA part. Jeff abrams might be able to help out with it.

Invites went out last week so those that applied should know by now.

I have no cat, so I didn't bother applying my probably too stock looking car

Looks like they decided last minute they didn't want ANY nsx's in it this year so no dice grandma! Year 3 turned town lol

I cwy

My car looks cool to be in a mag but is way too slow to compete. I dont think a 16 sec 1/4 mile will get me any points or only having 130 hp.... maybe next year it will be k20 with widebody and 245 or 255 tires.... who knows....

Howe much you weigh again Jake?

2400

damn! i thought fits were heavier

It doesnt have interior....

2700/160 = 16.875:1

2400/130 = 18.462:1

That's not racecar p2w!
We both fail!
(Assuming your 2400 was with driver. If not, then Goddddaaaaaaaamn)

It is. Lol

And mothafucking jowee.

2350/235 = 10:1

i should sign up but im lazy...

3 FRS/BRZs?

I think one of those could have been left out, and Ravi's NSX stuck in it's place.

Yay for Pablo!


I wanna see the red fg2 in person! I wonder if the Teg will be there too?
