Those lift tables are one of mans great inventions John ! glad you tracked one down, seems like there have been availability issues on them forever. And thanks for the forgiveness brother

Keep us in the loop on the progress.

Thanks brother and yeah... Think maybe 17's and 35's may be in store in the future... The 20's are cool and look pretty good but not what I would have spec'd.

LOVE the raptor...

ETA... You know - I low-key hate how much I dig both your cars...

Just got back from the track - I got my 1:19 - in fact I got quite a few of them with a best lap of the day of 1:19.3 ! To say I am excited would be an understatement. Got to share it with Jack - sorry for going on man - I was so excited... I called MA Aaron and let him know, he always pushes me at the track and he has listened ad nauseam about me getting this number including when I was being a bitch about not getting it last time - Sorry dude, but thank you !

I just pulled my quick look data and am blown away, with some of the raw numbers, -1.5G on the brakes, highest top speeds here ever ! I really felt like the driving I did in this last session was the best I have ever done by a fair margin.

I got some great advice the other day and really tried to keep it in mind, it paid off. Something like 45 sessions on these NT01 - amazing.

Off to send data to Paul (pressure looked to be down, I don't know why and get the 3rd session video up - I think it will be a pretty entertaining one, well, for me - I know it will.

wonderful, I’ll be watching whatever you post. You think you are close to the car potential, or can you tell that the car is capable of more, we want to know.

There's more - theoretical best was 1:17.5 in the 2nd session, that seems a little optimistic but it's what the data says. Running with people who give quick point by's and heave a generally increased pace really helped yesterday, and the car felt really good. If I can pace in the teens, it's competitive for unlimited class time trial and next year I plan to run at least a couple. I'll put some times from a recent time trial below for some lap time perspective.

Ah man now I'm really sorry I couldn't go. If only that customer problem didn't happen or the weather had been a bit better.... I was actually in the car getting ready to leave.
Super congrats on that 1:19, that's a fantastic pace. One more TNIA on 10/5!

so as soon as you have grown up your current car. This seems to be the next track weapon for you. Modified cup car engine, and I think you are going to dig the color, maybe add some black accents to it.

I like making the cheap / slow ones fast Luis - that’s cheating…. And I can’t afford it 🙂

That’s exactly the same aptitude I had when I was doing the fast and the furious. Cheap German VWS. Anyway I just dropped $5 on lottery tickets almost 14 mill for tomorrow night. I dont think that would be cheating because this car is still analog. So the driver still makes a huge difference.

If you don't mind, I am going to PM you my address and you can ship me those e88's. They look tired and you need a new wheel set up anyway.

Thanks for the alley oop

A lot of the really fast (expensive) street cars I see on the track are giving me point by’s. Obviously, it’s not because their cars are slow and it may not even be because they are not proficient driving on track - they may just not want to push the car to the point they are afraid of binning it. For me, I’m pushing to be a better driver and that is where the highest highs come from - it also carries an inherent risk of pushing too far. I could not do that in a car that was super special, or expensive… even if I had the money.

You can send me your addy - I’ll send you something… just be careful when you open it. 😉

Really happy with this string of laps, if it wasn't for the Lotus almost losing it at the end, would have knocked another 10th or 2 off my best... On to the next goal. Hope you guys enjoy the video.
