So here is a video from last night taken by Flashwing of Mazdamaniac on Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix. MM was doing the HPDE1 event.
As I said this is courtesy of Flashwing.

Now it's been said!

 

It's just like crack.....once you're bit...you can't go back

Just a bit intense......

 

Woohoo! Thanks for posting up the video Erick. Yea Jeef! He was kicking some serious butt out there.

 

Great video, thanks for sharing. I loved the part about the mustang spinning out! I had one just like the one tailing you, and I traded it for my 8. Sent hubby the video..a reminder of how good we did! :

 

haha... I respected MM for his products before... but now I must say, he has an awesome personality lmao... saw one of the related vids with him and the accessport

 

nice vid!!

 

Jeff is really fun to work with and has a great sense of humor. I've found his best quality is that he never leaves you stranded...EVER. I've never worried about working on car projects with him or asking for his help because I know he will help me till the job is done.

Point and fact, we were getting my car ready for a driving event which took place when he was doing HPDE. We were tracking down an oil leak and chipped a piece of a bolt on my oil temp/pressure adapters. The chip could have gone back into the oil system and into the motor...it was small but Jeff wasn't going to even chance it causing damage. It was about 20 to 30 minutes to get that little sucker but we got it.

I point a camera at Mazdamaniac and something funny is bound to happen.

 

"he spun!"

 

Must have been this pesky Mustang....

 

MM reminds me of Dustan Hoffman .....

 

looks like fun!

 

Jeff, should be a comedian!

 

looked like fun. Next mod should definitely be an in car video camera so we can join in the fun.

 

clossest thing to sex .... hahahaha

 

awesome vid! looks like a lot of fun

 

this is soo true, theres never a boring moment when around jeff

 

Looks like you a small run off. If you miss.... right into the wall!

 

Nice!!!! Very Nice!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow that chick on the driver door was hot.

I like the old BMWs too.

Your cars were the most awesome though

 

worth checking out the AZ site just to see MM's more animated avatars ....

 

Fun stuff. Todd does nice work.

Its funny how "compressed" time/speed gets on tape.

There are two shots of my compound turn 4/5 that look identical, but one is easily 15 MPH faster.
The end of the straight was 147 MPH the last time you see it, but only 120 the time before (better exit from the last two turns).

 

You say there was one mustang that could take you - would that be a shelby ?

 

It was that black one with the gold stripe and the hood scoop.
If it had to be a dead drag race from the start of the straight, he would have pulled on me. (Barely.)
That said, it can't corner and, more importantly, it cant brake, so even if he did get a length on me, I get to brake so deep that I'd go right by him at the carousel.
However, he screwed the pooch every time (as did most people) by going too shallow on the second to last turn and not setting themselves up for the final turn into the straight.
Time and time again, I came onto the straight 10 MPH or more over anything around me (turbo G35, Mustangs, Integra, etc.) and they couldn't make it up even if they had the power.
Which they didn't, anyway.

Next week will be interesting.
We are running the west course, which has a much shorter straight. HP will be even less of a factor, so the big iron will be at an even bigger disadvantage.

 

I know how the guy in the mustang feels - some p**ck in a Suzuki swift was out brakeing me hugely from a long straight going into a hairpin . pissed me off no end ..... !!!!
