Default Tempest Video - Ben Frieman - Nopi Englishtown

Congrats to Ben Frieman (Boner Ben on ht) on his powerstreet win this past weekend at Nopi E-town, and on his personal best of 10.34 on dot tires.

I put this together with all the footage I got from the event and the late night dyno session the night before. We at Tempest are happy to see the progress this car has made, and how dedicated Ben has been with all the issues he has had with the car lately. Looks like it finally paid off!

What an amazing weekend I cant thank everyone enough for all the help that I had to get my car running for this event: John crazy hair Schill @ Absolute for all the late nights working on my car and loaning me a motor since mine hates me, Joe @ Tempest for figuring out some issues I've been having and tuning my car the night before the race, and big thanks to Franklin @ Avid and Roland @ MBRacing for coming through with some axles after breaking one in qualifying on Saturday. Thanks for the sick vid Jeff

I dont have much seat time yet on these tires so prior to the semi's and finals at e-town I was stuck in 1.8 60' land. My 60's for the weekend were 1.85, 1.70, 1.79.

Ben! im really glad to see that all of the late night dyno sessions paid off. i dont know how many mountain dew's you drank friday night before we put the car on the dyno, but i dont think i have ever seen anybody so hyper in my entire life.

the ET's are going to continue to drop in this thing. we still have another 2.Xmm of turbo available too.

i think the coolest part about your car is how casual it comes out of the burn out. i dont know why i think thats so cool haha. its like your cars just saying "im a badass".


good luck with the rest of the season. anxious to see how the car runs at MIR coming up

Thanks again Franklin and Roland for the axles. Sorry I was not able to stay but after working over 100hrs that week and getting there late, then NHRA telling me I could not race for the weekend because 3rd round qualifying was rained out and the feilds were set. I couldn't see my self staying knowing I had a car to compete with and not racing it. I am glad all the hard work paid off in the long run though. Congrats Ben, let's go win some more.
