The Hatch FINALLY Runs a 9 On The Mountain! Sho'nuff's First Pass EVER!

**A Day of Racing and Celebrations**

The day had finally arrived for the racing enthusiasts to put their skills to the test, and it was clear that everyone was pumped up and ready to give it their all. As one driver exclaimed, "We're gonna take home a running hatch, and I get to hang with the boys and enjoy the rest of the night - stress is off my back!" The group was ecstatic about their chances of winning, and tensions were high as they awaited the start of the competition.

**The Thrill of Victory**

In a thrilling moment, one driver exclaimed, "Kyle Slam in third gear every time shifting beautifully!" Their strategy seemed to be paying off, and it was clear that Kyle had mastered the art of shifting gears. As the group cheered him on, another driver couldn't help but say, "Congrats on the win, man - thanks bro." The atmosphere was electric, with everyone eager to see who would take the top spot.

**The Competition Heats Up**

As the competition heated up, drivers were pushing themselves to the limit. One driver mused, "I got out on you, but you just came around me... I was like no Monica - a little bit just out turbo me a little bit." Another driver countered with, "You got me by a little bit right there, now you got me by a little bit too!" The banter back and forth between the drivers only added to the excitement of the competition.

**A Memorable Meme**

In a lighthearted moment, one driver quipped, "That guy is a walking meme - I'm sure you car guys have seen this meme that 1320 videos shared when Randy titanium comes righty Lucy." The group erupted in laughter and good-natured teasing. It was clear that everyone had a great time, and the camaraderie among the drivers was palpable.

**The Semi-Finals**

As the competition narrowed down to the semi-finals, drivers were getting more and more excited. One driver exclaimed, "This is the semi-finals for the sport compact class - this was the class I was racing!" The group cheered him on as he took his place at the starting line, ready to give it his all.

**A Surprise Abandonment**

Just when it seemed like everything was going smoothly, disaster struck. A driver's car abandoned them out on the mountain, leaving everyone in shock. "That was so fast up here - that was so that's over a front-wheel drive car!" The group couldn't believe their eyes as they watched the drama unfold.

**A Day to Remember**

As the day drew to a close, the drivers reflected on what had been an incredible experience. One driver mused, "I haven't seen him in a hot minute - I know it's been a while everybody's been asking about him there's a couple guys out here with vote for Pedro t-shirts." The group shared stories of past racing events and made plans to catch up again soon.

**The Final Moments**

As the event came to a close, drivers were busy unloading their vehicles and saying their goodbyes. One driver exclaimed, "Brent has some things to get fixed on this girl - he'll be back out shows crazy potential!" Another driver chimed in with, "Yeah, it's a little Hood, but that's racing, right?" The group laughed and joked as they packed up the last of their gear.

**The Future Looks Bright**

As the sun began to set, the drivers reflected on what had been an amazing day. One driver said, "We'll put a mounting bracket now - something about it that's racing." Another driver quipped, "I currently don't have a flange to connect my Turbo to my v-van and the races - you know today and tomorrow." The group nodded in agreement as they packed up their gear for another day of racing.

**The Welding Begins**

With a nod, one driver began the process of welding together their turbocharger system. "We're thrashing here, yeah... oh get to welding this all together all right!" As the hours ticked by, the sound of welding and laughter filled the air.

**A Celebration Continues**

Finally, after a long day of racing and repairs, the drivers gathered once more to celebrate their triumphs and share stories of their adventures. "We're gonna show off in the hatchback here for some pictures together," one driver said with a grin. As they posed for photos and shared laughs, it was clear that everyone had a fantastic time - and couldn't wait to do it all again soon.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign come on don't forget that our S2000 giveaway is now live every five dollars you spend on theboosterboys.com gets you a chance to win finally got showing up to the track foreign I'm so ready to see this thing run I'm ready to rip it honestly but it actually feels really good to drive still on the Shakedown phase we are in the Shakedown phase so like we have no testing so everything we do is gonna be testing we got a crazy clutch we got a lot to learn yeah what I'm excited to do you have to do your very best to keep that send it attitude out of you I know I just want to go I was talking to Shane about that the entire way up here because yeah I just want to go anything feels wrong you gotta wait out yeah the nice thing is like the shifter like if you get scared you just like literally let out and it falls to neutral like I have to physically hold it in gear so it's physically held in gear it's me sending it showing up maybe what's up guys it feels so good to say that I'm back at Bandimere Speedway with the hatch and today we are doing some race and this is actually my second day here I was here yesterday doing some qualifying runs uh Brenton a lot of the guys were actually getting their cars ready last minute and they rolled in late yesterday so I didn't film too much I just got my qualifiers knocked out so I will be mixing those in from yesterday into today's video no spoilers yet but the hatch has yet to run her nine but we have one more qualifier left today before we go into eliminations and I'm hoping we can get that nine second pass right here on the mountain because the car has never been able to do it at this altitude the air is way thinner up here and it slows these cars down quite a bit so I think we're gonna have to run this thing fully maxed out to get that nine second pass I'm really excited guys I'm glad to be here racing at Bandimere for the last year and it's really sad that this place is closing down but this is where it all started guys I came to this track Like every weekend just trying to better our times in the hatch and I'm excited to be back here racing with all the boys we got Brent out here Steven's car which is his son Mario's Prelude this thing just made like 900 horsepower the other night and he's going for the Prelude record as well he's just behind my Prelude he's the fourth fastest and he went like a high nine six so he's right behind us and uh he's going for that record got goofy built Shane CRX back there he was up all night thrashing on that thing so got all our boys out here and I'm excited to race Jamie's coming up to make his first qualifier of the day okay 45 for Jamie 170 . Dang Jamie 740 yeah flying out there 8 40. or 8 40. I said I'm sorry I'm originally yeah 8 40. we got Kyle making his first pass of the day see how she does her box for him all right guys getting ready to make my first qualifying pass in the Hops back at Bandimere back on the mountain come on hash just do your thing we're back at home this should be a walk in the park foreign not a bad first hit voice you bogged on the launch so we're gonna have to up that two-step a little bit but it was super smooth out the back hit all the gears she should run a nine no problem at all once we get that launch sorted I bet that was like a 10 30. first trip was a 10-55 and 133 turn down with only a 1 6 to the 60 foot so we just got up that two-step boys they feed her a little bit more boost out the back and she's rolling she feels great you ready to run them dude I'm ready so me and Steven are going to line up in qualifying here this is our second qualifying pass me and him were kind of beefing last night playing No Limit drag racing on our iPhones racing back and forth so now we're doing it for I already did my first one around that 10-5 but we're treating this one like a race heads up first one to the end gets it yeah all right guys we are going up for our second qualifier I'm racing against Stephen his car makes 800 horsepower it is front wheel drive so if we get a good launch I should get out on him and he's just gonna have to reel me down but that car's been like a 9-6 so if the hatch does what it should here I think it should be a decent race but he still might get me out the back um I turned up the launch control 400 RPM so hopefully that takes care of that bog if it's still bogs we're gonna have to go a little higher and I also gave it 10 more duty cycle out the back so it was making 20 to 21 pounds on that pass I checked the log so same as the dyno and I'm hoping for like 25 and up or even 30 honestly I think this turbo will max out about 35 PSI here in Colorado down in Florida I've managed to make 44 out of this poor little eBay turbo but up here we just don't have the same air by the time we get to eliminations though that duty cycle is going to be 100 because the turbo technology has come pretty far and there's a lot of guys in my class they also have 62 millimeter turbos which is the class limit which I have but they have much bigger exhaust housings and the compressor wheel design is different and they're making a ton more power than I am like Steven's car making 800 is still on a 62 millimeter class legal turbo so they're calling us up right now so let's do the thing foreign thank you well I think that was better we still bogged so we're gonna have to play with the two steps some more but she was definitely making more boost out the back I think that was a better time but I don't think it was a nine just yet 10 38 and 136 with a one 760 foot yeah I think if we get the bog out of this thing it's gonna go a nine no problem boys 10-3 is the fastest I've ever been in the hatch when it was front-wheel drive way back in the day so we matched our best time at Bandimere now we just got to get that ball figured out and she'll do a nine for sure what'd you do I I may want to wonder 14-7 holy crap 14 000 RPM yeah almost 15. high score does she sound pretty hurt in there I haven't even tried you just let it I shut it off Let It Roll yep that's a that's a high score did the back tires feel like come off the ground was it that gnarly it felt like it oh it fell under control still though it didn't feel like Shane's were just like guards right dang it man you were out on me for like a split second yeah did you get the slip yeah I got the slip it's in here thank you all right guys I'm in line for my third qualifier of the day I got the two step set to 7600 the last pass was 7200 and I think it should go this time we just got to get that bog out of her get all four tires gripping and going and I think you should have a nine second pass in it no problem that last one was a one seven sixty foot and this car has been won threes before so we just gotta at least get in like the one fours like it normally does and it has it no problems looks like for this last qualifier I might be going up against my buddy Chris this thing's really fast been about mid nines see what we can do here boys foreign Rocky Mountain Air she just can't breathe up here 10-1 and 137 boys with a ball seven and now it's still a one five nine six six one six and I know it's gonna run a nine two boys I'm the right lane almost so close almost we just gotta get it to leave it's still bogged yep and I and I know why it's because we ran no lines to the gate so it's just making all the boost on the two step and I didn't have the duty cycle on the two-step and up enough oh so it's only making like 10 11 pounds when it's normally making like 20 plus it needs just a little more yep yeah almost there that's the fastest it's ever been here though we'll get that night on the mountain yet it's gonna happen fantastic dude is it time you're getting all suited up I'm Susan booting ready to go Mana Palm I'm so jazzed up right now dude I'm so happy you got it out we're here it's been uh a long few nights getting everything ready we have a little stuff to tidy up you know you know it's race car stuff but it's stuff that's so secondary I boost the boys to the car you know yeah let's take it out there might be a couple Loose Ends but I mean you spend a lot of time making sure all the important stuff is there yeah and keep in mind boys this is just a Shakedown session for show enough so there's still a lot of testing to do this thing has a very fancy clutch and transmission a lot of things to get used to a lot of things to learn so driven anything like this you know even if it just makes it down the track that's a win for us today that is 100 a win hell yeah man I'm excited to be here finally remember the video just showing it to everybody like three four years ago like introducing Brent's new race car yeah and see when we lost the shop everybody was down you know so I started building the car just to get Morel up keep people busy and then you know it's kind of it's been a thing oh yeah Now's the Time finally out here getting ready to make its first Shakedown pass ever yeah I'm pumped I'm so jazzed up and it's coming up quick they're running one class now and I'm right after this class so um is everything ready go over it yeah I think clutch is set fueled up yeah ready jet Steven set the clutch up uh so this is our initial setup and uh we'll take this data and see if we can't actually make a pass today so hell yeah man yeah man show enough here we go up how you feeling right now I feel excited dude I'm so just pumped for you I'm feeling your same anxiety and nervousness I know you have to have Bruin let me go we gotta break the seal we gotta start going so here we go first bass ever and show enough we've been waiting so long to see this thing make a hit man and it's finally out here come on Brent foreign a 134. that definitely wasn't on full launch control huh no that was no launch control he just kind of babied it out the two steps like 24 pounds yeah that did not leave very hard but probably just getting the Jitters out it went I don't care dude it started shifting and sounding really good though that trans is the coolest thing I've ever seen like driving it on the dyno it's like an auto but with the punch but with the punch of a stick you know yeah it was shifting fast yeah not too bad of a Shakedown for Brent definitely a super soft launch I'll get the car back around hopefully everything's good with it and he can try it again and get her up on that two-step and really start letting it eat but it's important that he gets comfortable with the car she drove back yes she drove back 11-0 at 134. hey not about a little Shakedown no when I went to get on the two-step I had the stage the line lock all locked up and everything but it pushed through oh it pushed through yeah so then I just wrote it out and waited for some power and I gave a little bit of power went through a couple gears and I called it good so I pumped the brakes and then dude when it started shifting it sounded so good you know it's yeah it's super that's a perfect Shakedown that's what I thought too so she's got attach the rear bumper yeah I mean that's why we do that's why we do this that's why we do the shakedowns yeah yeah she uh she blew off and then when it took off it took the kill switch so I I stripped the wire with my teeth and went around I didn't shut the car off because of the kill switch Yeah so see you it worked out it should have yeah they did always does plastic Colorado scooter friends heck yeah what's up Nick what's up love this shirt man Street Outlaw all right guys getting ready to make my last qualifier of the day and we decided just to ascend it and we got the line going to the top of the wastegate just how we normally run it so I liked having the Boost controller on there especially when we saw it spitting some coolant on the dyno wanted to make sure that the head gasket wasn't an issue so I've been just going up and boost progressively my last pass yesterday on the 10-1 it was basically making full Boost and we had zero coolant blown out so I think that was just a air Pocket heat issue so I think we're good there so we're just sending it line to the top of the wastegate and I also think a big reason why I was bogging yesterday is I looked at the duty cycle control table on the fueltech and in two step it was commanding zero percent Duty on the Boost controller so it was faking the same RPM but like half the Boost I think that's just because it wasn't commanding any boost so now that the lines to the top of the wastegate the Boost controller stuff goes out the window and we should be making like 20 plus pounds of boost which is what it normally does and it was only making like 10 or 12 yesterday and I thought that was just because we're at elevation and it was struggling to make the air but that uh duty cycle member probably had something to do with it so we're about to do a two-step check right now make sure it's building full Boost like it should be I also raised the limiter 200 more RPM this one better freaking go and I think this one will be a nine so I'm gonna let it warm up real quick and two-step check it and then we'll do our last qualifier hopefully we rip off that nine on the mountain like we've been trying to do for for hell yeah six years finally let's do it and uh then we go into eliminations after that and then the hatches it's gonna be on Full Tilt the whole time because there's like a lot of low nine second cars in my class so I mean we have to get every little bit that we can out of this baby turbo it's crazy how the elevation affects them yeah it does it takes a good half second off the cars yeah so here we go that's why all those Olympic athletes are up here in Colorado training yeah I don't got enough air for a little hatch camera yeah what you think it's making 33 pounds well that should fly maybe holy crap do I turn the RPM down a little bit no yeah I'm gonna go back down 200 we'll start there all right line to the top of the gate real spicy hey it means it's gonna leave hard I mean the all-wheel drive needs it yeah those guys leave at 30 pounds so I'm just gonna go back down 200 to where it was but I think just the Boost being up that high it's gonna it's gonna go foreign hell yeah let's go I think she's gonna go nine today I know she's gonna go nine today you're gonna be living in there yeah you can feel it in that thin Rocky Mountain Air you were struggling with turn it up mine's to the top of the gate now nine five all day baby you ready to go Shane he looks ready ready to go hell yeah got one glove on his coat what a unit man he's been working so hard all week like he's an animal I don't know how he made it but he made it wow that'd be banned yeah that's you it's holding it's holding I hope Shane wants some things that we're not gonna disclose this shouldn't be welded together hey but it's working it's holding boost though all right guys here we go we got the line to the top of the gate the step is Rowdy this is everything the hash has right here hopefully we can lay down that nine second pass hot vanity mirrors All or Nothing go it's gonna be the fast man yeah 47. I was in there that was our nine boys dude this thing was spinning all four tires it was just that uh boost being down on the two-step that was the only thing holding us back that was a nine boys 100 it came out so rowdy there we go boys what number are we damn that was a close race seven I couldn't even tell which one was me but we did uh 972 13 boys but that is on cool kill it's crazy that we are a full 10 miles an hour down from where it's normally at in Florida that's just how much the elevation kills us but 9-7 really nine boys I knew she had it in her there she is man there she is finally finally a nine on the mountain we've been fighting for this for so long I can die happy now the MR2 this run and it's nine out in Colorado finally we we need to back it up though we don't need to do it again gotta make it official she's running good it left so hard I can't even believe it yeah look at that 60 foot 60 foot fast so I never thought this car would be 60 foot not good I know I was up in the like just past the 60 foot probably 100 feet out and when you launched it was like it like jumped I know well I also took the weight plate off so that just makes it that much crazier so much different it was awesome all right so proud of you man that was so good yeah I'm glad to be out here with all you guys that was freaking sick it's thick and it's sick just having car it's sick having Kyle back in Colorado guys just icing on the cake yeah everybody's out here and everyone's running fantastic oh yeah well off to eliminations off elimination let's get it done see what she can do yeah good luck I have to show you guys this wagon that came out to the track they had a little car show going on and couple clean es here with this wagon look at this thing looks completely stock probably the cleanest Civic wagon I've ever seen in person interior immaculate thing is sweet belongs to Aaron you got yourself a very nice wagon sir all right guys they just called us up for eliminations and I was number seven qualifier racing number eight actually the guy I just raced is the guy I'm racing once again yeah that's all this that same guy just raced in qualifying we were both Within hundreds of each other we were both nine seven so I'm racing him once again and they are very close matchup cars so we gotta do our best to try to get them on the tree we're maxed out on Boost but we did add a few degrees of timing so that might give us a little bit more mile an hour up top and might go even a little faster but this guy beats us and we're out but you gotta get him gotta get them so there was actually a change in the ladder we are racing this white hatch here this belongs to Aaron he qualified with a 10-4 which if everything goes good I think we should be able to take this one but anything can happen and uh best of luck man this is our first round yep let's do it let's go six oh my God that was the craziest watch I've ever done in the Hat that was a gnarly launch we have a little too much in the two-step boys we got sideways so that was only a 10-6 I'm not sure what happened but it felt like it was falling off power up top we did add timing which it should be making more power so I don't know about that one boys we did win though with a gnarly launch that was a 140 60 foot so we'll have to look over the car make sure there's not like a boost leak or something but once I got out in second gear I felt the power start to really fall off it only trapped 116 and I let out a little early the silver car thing today right how'd you do Mario I gave a guy a ride back sorry what did you do 949 nine four nine uh one five one sixty foot man this is awesome hell yeah man so I forgot to show before but Mario win a 9-5 before this and he has taken my place as the third fastest Prelude now that is awesome man I mean you're just over the record's at 9 33 so a tenth and a half away and keep in mind you're doing that at altitude if you brought this thing down to sea level you'd have it it's really it's running really smooth man like the whole setup's working oh yeah man I gotta work the throttle all that fuel tank baby it didn't work that's awesome man congrats thank you man I appreciate it so I went ahead and pulled the log and we were losing boost it was only making like 10 pounds out the back something in second gear just dropped off and I was just looking over everything seeing if we had any boost leaks and I did find it luckily it's an easy one it's right up here and this side of the intercooler this coupler came loose and just pulled off of there it's no big deal I'm gonna get the bumper off and get that guy all tightened up and we should be good to go for the next round and we are all good to go got the boot back on clamp is tight I went ahead and double checked all of the others I mean this side was really tight so I don't know if this one just uh you know maybe bottomed out on the socket didn't get fully finished off there but everything's good to go get the bumper back on and we are ready for round two everything's back together quick two-step check just to make sure we are building full Boost once again all right we are good to go boys also I put this sticker on here and wrote scale on it because this is the first time I've ran a class where my car has to weigh a certain amount and during qualifying I forgot to scale it twice so my qualifying runs didn't matter but I've been remembering ever since I got my sticker on there round two round two second pass and showing up yeah I think you got the clutch sorted this time for two-step hopefully we changed some air gap and still got the same weight on it so we'll see if the air gap helps because I'm kind of learning it on the first one the clutch was too grabby started driving yeah so that's why I didn't get to launch it yeah made some adjustments try it again that's it that's all we can do we're learning it looked good though I think it has a a pretty good rip in it if it leaves and the Bumper's bolted on now oh yeah back bumper is good to go gold winner duct tape good luck man thank you good let's go Brad felt that thing she definitely got on two-step that time spun the tire and he got out of it that was a spicy launch might need a push it shut off at the end there wow that was spicy or something maybe his kill switch came undone again we didn't have crimpers to crimp the crown I bet his kill switch came undone again oh probably because it it messed it up when the bumper came off we used pliers to just what happened um and Bentley we had some problems up front here now is that your pulley loose yeah so well I it just shut off freaking it tried to launch hard yeah it shook the tire real good yeah and then I pedaled it and then as soon as I got in it it just shut off and then well probably a good thing it shut off that pulley was that loose yeah I'm gonna find out but I think the the crank deal came the crank pickup oh your trigger might be off yeah exactly forward well you know that's why we're shaking it down it was ready to eat I was like yes it came up it took a little work for it to get there too once it once it was on there it was it was like let's go let's go so I don't know we're on our way little bugs all right guys round two of eliminations we are going up against this EF right here this is Zach this car went a 9-4 today has a turbo B series front wheel drive so this one's gonna give us a fight I don't know if we have enough for him do my best to cut a good light we got her turned up as high as she can go got some timing we got that boost leak fixed so we'll see what she does good luck man hey thanks man go easy on me actually don't take them out foreign charge we need to put a bigger turbo on this thing because I'm allowed to go bigger for the class and that's holding me back thank you dang boys we did another 9-7 at 139 seems like the timing up top didn't help us too much and he went a 9-5 at 153. even though we got taken out right there I couldn't be happier with the hatch boys we went two nines today on the mountain back at Bandimere and we did 297 so pretty pretty deep into the nines backed it up and we went a 1-4-0 on that 60 foot as well I mean this thing is just ripping out of the hole it feels ridiculous we were just a little out turboed there and that's another reason why I want to upgrade the turbo on this thing so we can't hang with guys like that because we were just out turbo we have room to go and we'd still be legal for the class the transmission still shifting beautifully another thing to note boys what do we do five six passes my third gear hitting success rate has been 100 percent out here so a little pat on the back for Kyle Slam in third gear every time shifting beautifully and yeah that's that boys I'm pumped she's driving on the trailer and we are taking home a running hatch so couldn't be happier now I get to hang with the boys and enjoy the rest of the night so a little stress off my back moved a couple rounds got our nines I'm pumped congrats on the win man thanks bro I got out on you but you just came around me I was like no Monica a little bit just out turbo me a little bit what you got on that thing like a 6270 or yeah so it's a Precision 6270 um it's an 83 millimeter motor sleeve uh GeForce log box on it it's like it's a pretty good run it was a really good run can we buy a couple tests we were both on that tree pretty good yeah we was on the tree pretty good I got you by a little bit right there now you got me by a little bit but then I was three tenths out on you by the 60 foot yep had to reel me back in yeah I saw you in front of me for a look and I was like oh okay I'm coming I called my car Goldilocks I was like Goldie we gotta go and get the right ports real quick thank you now you got to show me what you oh show the guys what you just showed me so this guy is a walking meme right here I'm sure you car guys have seen this meme that 1320 videos shared when Randy titanium comes righty Lucy that's this guy right here boy guys that's awesome man hey well good luck continuing forward I got my two nines today so hey I'm happy hey you got it right here so yes sir all right thanks man yeah good luck yeah foreign got this sweet wagon pulling up on all four slicks this one's a turbo single cam making like 500 horsepower it looks really mean I love that thing look at that foreign this is the semi-finals for the sport compact class this was the class I was racing left lane gets it with a 9-1 yeah the high chain keeping up with that only in Florida got Derek and Jamie in the finals good luck man team winners here it's cool to see both you guys yeah all the way up here in the finals that's how we're trying to do it well give her hell see how it goes do your thing yeah best of luck thank you buddy here we go Gene versus Derek and foreign that's so fast up here that was so that's over a front-wheel drive car abandoned him out on the mountain well guys that is going to be a wrap for band mirror how to get showing off in the hatchback here for some pictures together yeah look at the thumbnail had an awesome day it was an awesome week Frank got to Shakedown showing off patch got her nine Millers Emilio's out here hanging out you know I'm bummed because Pedro and Fong were here they were on Saturday oh and I didn't get any clips of them but they said what's up miss those guys too I haven't seen him in a hot minute I know it's been a while everybody's been asking about him there's a couple guys out here with vote for Pedro t-shirts I saw him I saw some vote for Patriots that's cool but we're losing daylight the event's over Derek took the the dove in the Pro class yeah yeah and we're getting loaded up for the day boys for the weekend I should say but one heck Le one hell of a time Brent has some things to get fixed on this girl and he'll be back out shows crazy potential and the hash is still running driving her on the trailer so that is a win in my book but hope you guys enjoy until next time we will see you later you guys tomorrow oh look there It Is Well that's why Jamie's was a little down on power snapped her right off man yeah so happens we'll put a mounting bracket now that's right something about it that's racing yeah hey it was super consistent all weekend yeah it was the thing was putting in work yep tell me what we got to do man it's a little Hood but it's a little Hood but so I gotta do what you got to do I currently don't have a flange to connect my Turbo to my v-van and the races you know today and tomorrow so if you look right here the compressor housing v-band is much bigger than the existing intercooler one and it looks like we're just gonna make those one piece yeah so I'm just helping him out get that welded gonna have a late night man but we're thrashing here yeah oh get to welding this all together all right\n"
