AMS sets a new horsepower record @ 2009 Mitsubishi Owners Day – Cypress CA.
This past weekend our friends at Mitsubishi Motors North America put on their annual Mitsubishi Owners Day (M.O.D.) event. In short it’s a day for all diamond star lovers to come together and spend a day rooted in anything and everything Mitsubishi. Normally we are not able to attend this event due to scheduling and distance but this year we decided to come pay our friends at Mitsu a visit.
Mitsubishi officials greeted us on Friday as we rolled our NOS Energy Drink 3 car hauler into the lot. They had clearly been spending all day and then some on this event. After some heavy lifting and positioning we had the AMS/ NOS Energy Drink Drag car and Time Attack car along with the ACP/NOS Rally car all staged in front of our booth, directly across was none other than Ryan Gates extremely accomplished Blue AMS EVO X Modified Class Time Attack car making it quite a display!
The morning of the show was intense. Even though the show was not scheduled to start until 9am the event staff had to let people in at 6:30 as they were starting to back up into the intersection. By 10 am all 450 T-shirts we had brought were GONE! Our email sign up list....FILLED. We were taken back by how many EVO's were in attendance. Everyone was so nice and respectful; honestly you could not get a better crowd.
Road Race Engineering brought their Dynapack dynamometer out to the event for some exhibition runs. We were asked to put our Drag EVO on for a spin. After swapping out some old spark plugs the AMS/NOS Energy Drink Drag EVO was able to put down 1180AWHP at 47 psi establishing a new world horsepower record for the EVO!
All in all, this event was WELL worth the near 70 hours of driving across the country. The guys at Mitsubishi, fellow vendors, customers and friends all made us feel right at home in sunny CA. Also big thanks to our friend Luke Munnell from Import Tuner Magazine http://www.importtuner.com/index.html for the awesome pictures!
Next the AMS team heads to Colorado for the 2009 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb where David and Allison Kern will compete in the AMS/NOS Hill Climb EVO July 14-19. The AMS/ NOS Energy Time attack EVO is also scheduled to compete in the round 4 of Redline Time Attack in Nashville TN. July 25th & 26th.
