The Shootout 2016

Thursday, 28 June 2018 / Published in Magnus Motorsports Blog

The DSM Shootout has definitely outgrown the little “Drunk’N’Drag” get together for some DSM enthusiasts that was fulfilled with some sweet 12second cars and drunken stories. It really puts a smile on our face to see that The Shootout has grown to an almost 10,000 attendee event. Yet another great shootout has gone by and the race to next year’s event has begun. Seeing this year’s achievements for both driver’s and event attendance has left us with nothing but an imagination of how great next year’s Shootout will be.

We had decided to approach this year’s shootout quiet differently, the usual let’s slap the motor together, tune the car and throw it in the trailer approach was thrown aside. We had chosen to build some wondering and confusion for those attending by doing something never done before, and posting teasers of our car on the “interwebs”. Marco had come up with a crazy idea of doing a Cantilever set up in the rear end that had even the employee’s scratching their heads. Before we knew it we were cutting up the suspension and looking for a way for this to work. Therefore the shootout was more of a test and tune for us than a racing competition.

Our reason for leaving the traditional rear end set  all started with a simple decision to upgrade to a 3000GT rear end…… Well simple was clearly an understatement, the new objective was to add a bigger tire and run a true drag shock. Our goal wasn’t to fab everything up and throw it in the car for some street cred. The objective was to improve traction and make the car go straight.

We could not be any more satisfied with the outcome of the cantilever set up we had come up with here at the Magnus Minion Headquarters! Everything went as planned and the car did exactly what we had intended on.

Our good friend Gary Andr brought out his RWD 1G build and broke quiet a few necks with it. Although the car was not race ready, it was one hell of a teaser for everyone of what’s to come!

We would also like to congratulate our friend Mike with trapping at 158mph at the shootout , and most importantly thank him for all his help and support year round. We would also like to thank our friends John Wigger, Gary Andr, Nathan Samuels from Apex Motoring, & Mike Andolsun for all their help throughout the weekend!

COUNTERFEITER ALERT

Congratulations Alfateh! You made the front page of Magnus Motorsports website

Please share this in all of your car related groups and on your pages on Facebook and throughout social media, read on for further information.

COUNTERFEITER ALERT: Magnus would like to call out a known counterfeiter operating in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia who has been stealing intellectual property from known reputable manufacturers in our industry.  It is important that this discussion is talked about openly as it affects all of us in the industry. Please share this in all of your car related groups and on your pages.

Alfateh is his name on facebook, also goes as MOHD HAZRUL or Just “Hazrul”: full name he uses is Mohd Hasrul Bin Jaafar the phone number +6017-3352645 uses whatsapp as a medium of communication, had contacted us through the email of devil2Jz@gmail.com

He is also known to be a Mickey Thompson dealer in Malaysia, operates the https://www.facebook.com/mickeythompsonmalaysia/   facebook page. He represents a page under the same phone number, he also represents Clutchmasters in Malaysia.  This person is involved in a counterfeiting scheme, in which he imports original parts from small legitimate North American engineering and manufacturing firms, posing as a client or a distributor, then steals their intellectual property and duplicates it and sells it with their name on it as was done with Liberty Gears bellhousing.  He then befriends all of the aforementioned firms “friends” on their facebook profiles and solicits them.

As you know people who counterfeit parts are effectively stealing intellectual property.  People who unscrupulously copy parts and sell for less money are only in it for one thing and that is financial gain. This is bad for everyone including the end user.  In this situation they are copying parts that legitimate firms have spent countless years developing and perfecting.  If our parts are ever to go in your engine, we make sure they work, we have a reputation to uphold and we hold ourselves to a very high standard.  They on the other hand do not.  Do you think you will get the same level of quality and care from a counterfeiter?  After they have your money, they close up shop and run, as has happened many times before.  We need to stop people from give these counterfeiters money. We need to stop the counterfeiters.

Magnus Motorsports is leading a team of concerned companies and businesses and is offering a reward for information leading to his home and business address so we may have our lawyers in Malaysia who specialize in anti-counterfeiting laws in the region prosecute all persons involved.  If you think the person in question has counterfeited your products, please contact us.

Known companies whom they have counterfeited parts from include

His machine shop which as far as we know produces the parts is located in Singapore

It is important that we stamp out these unsavory characters and publicly shame them and those who buy their parts.   All the other company’s who say its not me! I’m not involved! I wont make any noise so they won’t target me!  When you make something of value its worth protecting!  Staying silent won’t solve a thing, opportunists like this are everywhere and they coming for you next! Don’t let them steal anymore of your hard earned money.
