RS gone, Dedicated Track Car Arrives
#46
At Sebring we did turn off the ABS. I barely survived one lap! Brakes were like an on/off switch. Either off or they locked up with little pressure. I'm sure If we had time we could have fixed that, but it was Saturday morning when we tried during the warmup. No time to continue that direction without missing the races
Do you have any videos ???
How's the exhaust holding up ?

Actually the exhaust rear bungs snapped off at the welds right before the first sprint! We had put small extension tubes for the 2nd set of o2 sensors. Guess Welds couldn't handle the extra weight. Shop has used those tubes on all their other exhaust without bracing with no issues. Easily fixed.
Have almost no video from Sebring. New Replay Harness I installed was bad, and failed ot provide power to camera. Then Mark form OGRacing lent me a smartycam, but that failed also because how the auto stop.start was setup.
Here's a wonderful (boring) lap during practice early on whilte testing the car when "ice mode" was happening every hard brake. T1 had to rim shoot, T3 braked way early, T7 went off, T10 putz in at 1/2 throttle, braked early and still had to rim shoot, T15 same thing. Coasted thru T17 and went in. After T7 I just wanted to get the hell back into the pits without wrecking. Another video from a DE at Summit Point where we were testing the car a couple weeks ago. Boring also, but I did pass about every GT3 in the group I think it's somewhere in the last couple laps where I'm over a second under the class record.

as a newbie, I'm curious as to who "those" people are... those with ex-cup cars... does it signify people who buy serious cars but don't have the skills to drive them.. the more money than talent club?

Saw you run @ Sebring
My father and I turned to each other, smiled, and the debate was over regarding my own stealy stickered beauty. He finally "got it" - the sticker thing only of course Cheers, you made the day!
