No..its a 95 trans am, the latest addition is the ABS system from a C5.

Got down to 146s getting familiar with the braking system again, and that's a few seconds over his track best at sears in the car.

Normal 4, normal 7 long 11. Basic DE setup.

Next step is a sponsor with a full on datalogging package. Yokohama has fingers on a few for us.

Petty is optimistic he can make the April 7-8 weekend and we might be able to convince Kibort to make it....

I might be testing a NEW 928 racer.....one with a proper 5 speed transmission...things are in the works.....hopefully it works out!!!!!

Okay who else is in!!!!
Might have the RX8 up...gotta get tires, and needs a camber adjustment bolt/eccentric that froze up a number of alignments ago *shrug*

It sits 90% of the time now, go figure.

I'm thinking of flying to Sac on Friday instead of flying back to Edmonton, Whats the weather forcast? Who's in for sure? Brian when are you going to the track? I asked John P to get me a seat. Do we have a set of tires I can put on my car? Is there some one I can call to make that happen?Should bleed the brakes and check the pads as well.

Anybody from the San Jose area lookin to go up and spectate on Saturday?


Bill cant go..so my trip is hanging on someone else wanting to go hang out too.

Its either a LONG drive, or an expensive flight...sharing either helps.
