This is the first time I've seen this.

Damm
I have not seen that video in a long time. There were actually two different videos of him running in the 8's.

 

I've seen the front shot of him from ESPN but I've never seen that rear shot. Is that the one you're talking about ? I think you actually posted that one a few months ago.

 

i haven't seen that car featured in a few years or so. what class did he race in? was he ahead of the curve at the time?

 

No that one was not an 8 sec pass.
He actually did two 8.90's that day. Lost those vidoes when the PC crash many moons ago! .

 

Man I remember the first time I ever saw Adam race was when in 1998 when they had that Import vs Domestic's on Pay Per View. Man that **** was so DOPE. Ray Lockhead and Abel Ibarra also run on this thing and man did the rotaries dominate. Adam defeated Ray at the import finals and Adam went on to destroy the domestics in the Finals. Does anyone have a copy of this thing I would like to buy it.

 

OHHH my god I have that tape. I thought I was the only was that bought that.
hahahaha

 

The times that car would probably be able to run these days due to the advancement in rotary technology would probably be insane!

 

too bad he doesnt do anything anymore

 

this guy had alot of $$...his daily drivers was NSX,ferarri f355,hummer,porsche, and probably a few more...his race cars was the rx7, Pro RWD civic SI (never ran) and the NSX.. he gotta be from a wealthy family because i dont think the nitto/enkei sponsership made him that rich..

 

His family owns a farm in California, yes, they have $$$$.

 

I remember when Adam switched to a G-Force 5 speed on a Turbo magazine video. On stock tranny he ran 10.10s but when he only switch gearbox bang... 9.54s!!!

/Lasse

 

Adam's car was pretty sweet. Wonder if he still owns it?

His family has big bucks from farming as posted. Biiiiig bucks.

He ran that 8.90 at Palmdale LACR which is higher altitude than most tracks and certainly not optimal conditions. 8.90@149mph.... he must've let off a little as that is a low mph for a high 8 second pass.

 

i was there, that is ray lockheads first gen right after he finished the back half job... the old days, act owns the red first gen now..
adam was the first to do a 8 sec. on a irs rearend, i believe

 

he lives a few blocks from my grandmas house in pasa robles, why didnt he ever run the civic

 

I dunno what he's doing nowadays but he could do 2 things with his FD. #1 is come to run Sport RWD OR #2 Back half the car and go Modified. Or forget messing with the FD at all and build a back half RX8. Either way it'd be nice to see him back in a rotary if he could step it up to run in either class instead of wasting his time and $ on Honda/Acura products that for himself personally weren't as successful like his FD was.

 

I took these pictures along time ago when his car wasn't even in the traditional
cameleon/ yellow colors.And i also had the chance to race him a couple of times
with my little Rx3 when he ran the 8.90s at palmdale.I have one picture here
when i raced him and you could see he always got towed in style with his hummer.
It just brings back the memories.

 

I thought he built the back halved/tubbed NSX in the early 2000's but never really got it sorted out or consistent. Without a doubt, his professionalism atleast on air helped build recognition for the battle of the imports in the late 90's.

Damn, those pictures are old. I don't remember it looking like that. He had some sweet mini-truckin rims on the back of that thing !

Awesome pictures !

 

the guy had a pro rwd civic that never made it to the track and hispro rwd nsx that ran low 7's but it was never fully sorted
this kid is loaded, check out what his daily drivers are in this interview
i never knew bokchoy farming made this much money

why did he build it if he was never going to drive it, did he get erid of it and if he did tooo who

 

I notice the intercooler is really small. Anyone have specs on the cars setup?

 

That pic is a very old one of his early setup. It has gone through many tranformations since then.

 

Damn, Adam VS Ray Lockhead. That video brings back some memories of years ago.
