95 percent of the people here wouldnt know how "fast" a 2:27 is, Todd.:rolf

Low 2:3x's are what I'll be shooting for next time out. No doubt the car is capable of better, just slowly tightening the nut behind the wheel and getting feet wet with adjusting tire pressures/suspension for track conditions.
2:27 with a stock ls6 is :wow
my stupid goal is 2:45 for now... gotta get the new suspension ordered and a built motor, then high to mid 2:30's are on the horizon... ;)
<-- part of the 95%. And proud to be in the majority!
Dang, thats moving pretty well, the ama super bikes run 2:10-2:11. Its even crazier to think about the lap record of 1:39.866 by Dario Franchitti in a champ car. Man i wish those guys would come back (now just the IRL i think) , i never got up there to see them at RA. I probably won't be able to drive this year as the car isn't ready and i just got another car, lol. might be up to watch though.
ITS TIME,
i am working on getting the car ready today!
for Road America Next Weekend! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Bleeding the brakes, fresh DOT-3 FORD brake fluid, 575 degree boiling point,
and fresh Hawk 9012 Blue Pads, with PowerSlot rotors!
LOL :)
I'm signed up, gonna baby the GTR around the track cause I freely admit I can't afford to wreck it :)
We'll have the usual crew up there, we have rooms at the Osthoff hotel which is surprisingly affordable and great rooms, like new.
Trying Carbotech XP12 brakepads, o/w factory fresh on the Winter Package tires lol...
I will be there, but the car will not be going on the track.
so who's free to help the turtle wrench on his car tomorrow? (saturday)
call or PM if you're available and interested.... brakes, headgasket... easy stuff...
What are the rules as far as co-driving a car? Friend with a c6z is thinking about going and offered to let me drive a couple sessions, how can I say no to that!
Anyone seen an updated count of participants for next weekend? Last update I saw was around 41 cars.
The MFBA website is down!
it is supposed to be 65 degrees Saturday!
AND SUNNY!!!!!!
I feel a LOT of cars will turn out.
HECK, it was snowing last event, and we still had 100 cars!
hell, my favorite pic of my car is the one of me coming down into T5 with the headlights and foglights on, with all kinds of white stuff showering down around me! i've gotta scan that pic one of these days...
Haha, I have a pic like that hanging up on the wall!
