Default DeMan Motorsport visit, Saturday (1/16)

DeMan Motorsport has invited us to their shop to check out their GT4 development car next Saturday beginning at 10AM.

They're in the midst of a busy ramp up for their 2016 track season so this is a rare opportunity to get an inside look at things and pick their brains about the new GT4 platform.

When:
Saturday Jan. 16. 10:00AM

Where:
DeMan Motorsport
700 Bradley Hill Rd.
Blauvelt, NY 10913

A big thanks to sonorous and DeMan for making this happen!

Discussion items:

1. Harness bar and sub belts installed with LWBS. (The RSS lightweight bar appeals to me.)

2. Car on a lift to see installation of toe links and shims.

3. What are the corner-balance settings for road / track use (figure 2-3 DEs per year)

4. Other concerns / considerations about tracking the car - (my previous DE car was a 944 Turbo) - what needs to be watched, checked, ect.

+1 on the harness bar - better question is what is the optimal way to anchor a harness and how strong is the roof - Do we really need the 1/2 cage?

5. Displacement enlargement

6. Turbocharging feasibility?

Assuming weather is nice, take lots of pics, Pete.

And don't forget PDLS vs. standard if you can

Request: if their 4.0 stroker is on hand can you do a side by side pull with a stock GT4? I'd like to see the effect of the kit, similar to how Sharkwerks did with their original 3.9 Kermit video.

I feel like I'm cheating on BGB, but I'll be there and just watch.

Looking forward to meeting you Jim! Take the winter car if the weather is too cold, we'll have plenty of time to see the GT4's in the spring.

We'll also look into a place nearby where we can have lunch afterwards for those that can stay.

I wish logistically I was not challenged so you all are going to have to give us all here a thorough report. This could be a lot of pressure but I know you guys will do us right.

I go to New York often so based of what you all convey may prompt me to make a showing at a later date.

Yes! d00d and I have already started "talking" and potentially could be going steady so no one is allowed to hit on him at the Sadie Hawkins dance!
