Default Thunderhill SCCA American V8 supercar race 7-24-2011 --Video UP now

Over the 23-24th weekend, we are running the American V8 supercar series at Thunderhill, and the ITE folks will run with us.

Ill have a unique chance to compare (for my first time) a set of DOT Hoosier A6 race tires vs the R100 Hoosier slicks. Won't have a lot of test time on them, so the comparison might not be a perfect situation. However I have heard that they are very close to the A6 as far grip. Im thinking they will be slightly better based on my close competition improved performances in the past.

I think of our Rennlist buds will be there in his GT3cup running in Superproduction.

We will run a split start with the rest of the mix class grid. Only American Supercar will do this. Kind of a bummer, as I wanted to run ITE and American V8 supercar, one race of each this next weekend, but i guess this is a happy medium. especially if they have a caution!

Qualifying and races on both Saturday and sunday.

we are trying to get the big brake upgrade for the S brakes on Scots car in time, and get him to sign up.

Mark

Great to see you back!

It will be interesting to see how those tires hold up and whether they will be greasy when run long as per conventional wisdom.

I just noticed a miata spinning off the track in the rear view in the last few seconds of the rear-cam video.
