The Crawford R4-CP35R STi Package Takes 2 2nd Place Trophies at the NASA Time Trials part 1

The Crawford R4-CP35R STi Package Takes 2 2nd Place Trophies at the NASA Time Trials
[B]May 6-7, 2006 Lancaster, CA [/B] � The Crawford R4-CP35R STi package goes to the Willow Springs Raceway for testing and comes home with 2 second place victories for the weekend. It was a good weekend for Craig Dabbs (driver of the Black 2005 STi), running consistent times in the low 1:30�s, while showing who�s the quickest on the track. Most stock or slightly modified STi�s were pulling low 1:40�s lap times.

With a new MoTeC Engine Management System, MoTeC ADL2 Dash Display, a little gutting and about 100+ more horsepower/torque this track car was ready to take on even the highly modified Corvette�s.

The weekend started out with some quick runs just to realize you need gas in the tank to actually race, back to the pits for a fill up... After figuring out those few bugs the car went back out and with Craig Dabbs at the wheel, he was pulling in cars one by one. In no time people were dropping by trying to figure out how in the world this car was passing cars with so much ease.

Craig Dabbs nailed a best lap of 1.31.592 securing 2nd place in the TTR Class (Time Trial Race, unlimited race class) and averaging a track speed of 98.262 mph. Here is a short video of one lap of Big Willow. We will have more in car footage hopefully next week.

The car looking like it was flying around the track! Nice job to the driver and the tuners.

nice work guys, are you guys going to take this to the track and see the 1/4 times?
InfamousDX 05-10-2006 11:52 PM

Hey what kind of wheels are on the car? Size and tire size too?? Seems like that car was MOVING compared to other STI's. Congrats!

I think in-car footage is a great way to sell your product and services.
Perhaps getting the video up when you make your press release about race results will have greatest impact.

Thanks for the vid.

I forgot how fast of a track Willow is.

Last time I was there was at a vintage race, not too many fast cars.

Congrats to Craig Dabbs.

<Runs off to buy a Crawford Performance engine because of this>

Thanks :)

620HP would be HP and 620WHP would be WHP, sorry for the confusion.

The wheels on the car are made by BBS and we will have to rely on the owner of the car to supply the dimensions.

What suspension are you using?

Sorry for the confusion as Quirt said the numbers were incorrect, we actually have another R4-CP35R setup making those current numbers and those numbers do not relate to this vehicle.

I accidentally uploaded the wrong version of he video from our video editor. We have posted the new version of the video with the correct horsepower numbers in place. These numbers are at the crank.

Once again sorry for the confusion, we will have more information about the other R4-CP35R setup in the future.

Reading comprehension much? WHP and HP are pretty distinguishable

On the in-car video, the driver seemed pretty unhappy with the Tein's. Which Tein's were in use, and what was the unhappiness with them?

Thanks!

I've been driven around Willow in a '06 ASP Z-06 with open exhaust, engine management, two way Penske's and big Kuhmo 710's ... driven by an instructor, and we were in the low 1:30's ... so WAY TO GO with that STI !!!

What type/size of tires on the STI ...

Thanks for the kind words and putting things into perspective :) Below is the actual time that Craig ran at Willow Springs...
I think the tires on the car are 245-35-18 DOT approved Housiers.

Cool ... that instructor, who gave me 7 laps, fellow Auto Crosser Terry Free ... was 1st in TT-R with his '06 Z-06. BIG CONGRATS to you guys for bring that close in a STI!. Terry was probably on something like 275/315 Kuhmo 710's.

Yeah that Vette was FAST!

Hopefully we can give it a better run for it�s money, next time.

Upcoming mods�. widebody kit and more rubber :)

makofoto 05-13-2006 03:45 PM

To be honest ... it was a bit scary going into turns 8 and 9 at such high rates of speed ... something like 140 ?! ... without a roll cage. An accidental off at those spots would not have been good! Luckily Terry is a very smooth and careful driver ... but with some many other drivers of unknown quality on the track ... :eek:

As a Suby owner, I hope you crush him next time! :devil:

Is your buddy going to the NASA event this weekend in Utah?

Thanks,

Waiting to hear back from Terry. He might be doing the Porsche AX at CA Speedway/Lot 12 this weekend.
makofoto 05-18-2006 01:48 AM

PM'ed you ... no, Terry is racing at CA Speedway instead ... Porsche event, but not the AX ... but he's looking forward to a "rematch!"

any details in the brake setup of the car...and perhaps what aero mods are going on?

Was there an in-car camera vid floating around? I missed it.

Phil,

I would PM "CrawfordR4", the owner of the car. He can give you the details on the brakes :)
BDX 05-31-2006 01:51 PM

I have the in-car vid (from Willow, not Cal. Speedway)on DVD now. I will sent it to Quirt so he can post it up.
