Who would you recommend to make the turn away pipes?

Joe. No updates for ages. I assume track time has been limited or just not much more to report? What are your road and track mileage totalling on this car now?

11,000 miles on car. Needs spark plug change. The car is not on the recall list for new plugs, so I'll have to take care of that this winter.
3,300 track miles on the car. 1/2 way to needing to replace the center lock hubs!
I wasn't planning to head out to the track anymore this year, but my buddy showed up with a new viper ACR and now we're going to Laguna Saturday to see what it can do.
Took off the dunlops and mounted a new set of cup2. My 7th set of tires this year....!

Lol, has it been THAT long? 11,000 miles on car. Needs spark plug change.

I met a person with a new Viper TA. He hadn't yet tracked it but has a friend (Darrell, a motorcycle stunt rider) that ran 1:28 at Laguna with his new ACR. That's flying!

Joe -
I did some checking on the viper forum. His name is Darius and he ran a 1:33 not a 1:28.

Joe! How was Laguna today? Weather looked to be bright sunshine all day - albeit cool temperatures. I was really tempted to drive down and say hello. If only to see the new Viper. ;-)
