2012 Roebling Road DE Cup World Series Champion

Fast, but not fast enough for the Platinum DE Cup

Roebling Road DE Cup Classes

Platinum DE Cup: 1:16.999 or faster
Gold DE Cup: 1:17.000 - 1:18.999
Cup of Coffee: 1:19.000 - 1:20.999
Moving Chicane Cup: 1:21.000 or slower

Do you have videos of the Toyobaru Drifter car running 1:19? We should come up with a Toyobaru DE Cup series with a spec package: safety items (seats, cage, harnesses, battery kill switch, fire suppression), sport muffler, springs, front sway bar, front brakes cooling, spec brake pads, spec wheels, spec 225R15 Toyo RR tires, no more changes allowed. We can pack 4 wheel inside the car, arrive and drive, no trailer, no tow truck.

That looks cool. What is the sound limit on this track? I guess there is no way I would pass it...

Jons car was going 20s with old an E85 tune, some BC Racing cheapo coilvoers, Hawk brake pads and hoosiers (burnt up). Stock seats and belts! It's a pretty impressive little car. Probably another 4-5K for safety equipment and she's good to go.

I may have some of his data on my AIM Solo since he was borrowing it, will take a look when I get home.

Broke in my new ATC enclosed trailer. Once you go enclosed you wont go back. Lollipop even made us lattes every morning

Of the group I was the only one who didnt mow the lawn.....i have many times

Found out Deputy Dog has a obsession with jellyfish......and El Matador put one on his toothbrush
Was definitely a blast. The Candy (Carrie/Randy) catered coffee and meals in the enclosed was a bonus.

Tried to figure out track alone first couple of sessions. HUGE mistake. Hate to give him any credit, but Deputy proved to be an excellent instructor once again.

I did nothing of the sort with my toothbrush. I almost just threw up....

A strategic lift just before the meter (normally placed about 100 yards past the S/F) will get you by also....

Not at all, but more fun than paying to have your headers removed for a track he may visit rarely (or maybe he wont)....lol.

Was forced to do this a few times... 1/2 sec lift, brake 1/2 sec later..saved the weekend :-)
