Default Coaching Works!
I have to give a shout-out to Tony Colicchio at TC Design in San Jose, CA. I had Tony coach me recently and he got me to a personal best that I never imagined was possible in my (virtually) stock car.

This is over the top at Thunderhill. Now... I'm winning my DEs!

I urge you to hire a pro coach. It's the best mod money you could ever spend.

And... TC is not only a great coach, his shop makes the best roll bars and cages - PERIOD, not to mention he is a suspension & alignment genius!

Thanks, Tony!!!

Congrats, that's an impressive time and less than 4 seconds away from slick-shod 997 cups!

Next your aim is to consistently drive this 1:57... I bet when you do that, you'll be able to squeeze out another second from your "hot" lap.

Great time Lar! If you can lay that same time down at the next TT it's a class record!

Completely agree. Not all coaches are created equal though. Get references. Just because someone is fast doesn't mean they can teach.

Awesome, Lar! Agree about Tony, he reinforced the roll hoops on my Spyder and did a fantastic job.

I wish I was that close. Lar has me by a full 2 seconds.

Definitely agree, money is better spent on a competent coach than on useless modifications, which by the way, cost a great deal of money.
