So despite turning my fastest lap in good old Barney at a 1:51.01 (LCMT), we never finished a race.
Started 6, finished 0
The count:
-4 broken drive shafts and or boot
-1 exploded coolant hose
-one race with 2 cars on fire and i finished in the pits with an overheating car

I think we know what the drive shaft problem is (finally) so I hope to have that sorted for the next race.

Here is some in car of the GT Challenge race starting from the back and moving up until a drive shaft breaks.

Nice driving Chris - bummer about the mechanicals.

Between Dwane banging trannies and you having issues with your shaft, uh, well, uh, hmm, never mind...

I got a very concerning text message from Rennsport's Chief Instructor....tranny input shaft....I think the cool kids call it Sexting.

I'm pretty sure that text was meant for me

As always Chris great vid and even better driving, a wild sight seeing Barney and you out draging a Mustang over the hump;-))... We know you have great speed out of T9, but what what are you feeding Barney these days?

Dylan blew by me with Barney coming out of turn 8 ... I think i'm going to stop
putting German parts in my race car and start morphing in some Japanese goodies

Tough weekend for Chris,they were next to me in the paddocks and they did a lot of wrenching !

Cheers

Miss you man!
Gotta get your **** in
Chris needs a hand from everyone!

Matt Lane

Rob, great to hear from you - don't be a stranger!

Nothing penicillin can't handle...

Hehe...that Civic is putting down about 270 to the wheels these days. That second Mustang must of had something wrong because I can normally pass him out of 8 but he has a dad line and I just edge past him and stay on the inside to 10. That was not normal... The other one (white) is faster than me but I can get him in the tighter corner and under braking.
The mazda driver is known to umm..."move" people so i was being quite cautious and waiting for a good time to try something...until i broke.
Regardless, it was a fun weekend. Hopefully July will bring better luck.
See you guys at LCMT soon.

I'm off to Mosport next Wednesday for the Canadian Historic GP , so far there's 46 cars registered for the combined G70-90 class ... should be an interesting start ... woooohoooo

Phil, let's get a supercharged K20 in that 944! I wonder if it's possible....guys are making 450WHP on that setup....
You might get to the front with that.
I know it's a bit "YO" but this guy buils very fast EK civics
508HP...

Boxster dude

Yup der olive vill be schnell, if ya do go for it forsake the baggy knee length shorts for some Lederhose.... just sayin

wildcat077

I wear leder race shoes,that's pretty close !

Now a K20 engine ... hmmmm ... that would be very nice,but we all know nobody cheats in the 944 series

Cheers
