Default Texas World Speedway still in GT3 school:)


I am in the grey front car and having fun being chased by another 6gt3. Thanks for the video Bruce and thanks to my instructor Mr McNett for the push.

Shoot Ken you just missed Mike Kelly's seal grey, and I know that is your fav color. Sorry I did not think sooner, but you will find the right one!

Thanks Tor, now where close to where I would like to be but slowly getting better than I used to be.

I was playing around with turn 1 and not really going nuts on the straight high speed wise so I could do that. I finally got it into my brain that so long as I am on the pwr and stay there the rear end is not going to SNAP away from me but instead be much more predictable that what I was expecting.

And the above is with from what I can tell and have been told a non working lsd which will make it much more noticeable once that is sorted out.

Still pretty happy with the Yoko ADO8's.

I think my LSD is worn out too, it sounded good when I bought from Ken but after 3 events, i can hardly hear it. New LSD, clutch, and welded fittings, it will be an expensive summer. :-(

Hi Ken
You had one of those, the 996 you sold me runs fantastic. I have had three events in it, at TWS I ran it just the way you sold it to me and I managed 2:04 laps, at MSR Houston my time improved from 2:00 on my 4S cab, to 1:51, and I did a 2:40 lap at COTA. Going to NOLA Sunday.

Thats a good car Tor. Good for you.

I'm in my 964 now an occasionally my TT at TWS. Will be there this weekend.

I'm still trying to decide - 6-GT3 or 7.2 GT3

Dont forget those brake ducts!

The camera car which was driven by Bruce I believe had the Harry's Lap Timer and Iphone hook up with some kind of blue tooth deal pluged into his obd1.

Will do, looks like perfect weather for the club race. Going to be working with the new spec and getting settled into the new car. Have fun this weekend wherever that may take you sir.
