Diff is supposed to be back Thursday. Not sure if I'm up to an all nighter under the car though.

 

Buy a 6 pack and invite a few friends over to help! If you live closer, I would be there in a heartbeat.

Last I heard nobody was going, so I took the front brakes apart, and I need to get new GSR brake pads(old ones fell apart). So I wont be there, I can't afford the fees to overnight a set of pads. Other then that...new springs arrived, and I need to install those, but that's an easy job.

3 hours in a air conditioned shop!

 

I honestly hadn't even thought about making it until yesterday. Lot more to prep than just throw the diff in. I'll be there to hang out and for support.

I have some pads if you wanna show up, well, I gave them to dave, but I'm sure he'll give them to you.

Without a doubt. I didn't know Austin ran the same brakes that I did. Let me know I will have the pads a the track.

congrats dave!!!!

 

You ran a strong race, and got your first 2 wins!!! big congrats!!!

 

 

But.... next time it wont be so easy buddy!!!

 

 

 

I had a successful first weekend with the new setup. My goal was to make it through the weekend and find any issues that might come about. Well i did that, and really didn't find any issues, besides some that i thought i would have.

 

I made the call to not change the suspension, and just drive it and get used to the new motor, trans and brake setup.

 

Well after driving the car and discovering it has a HORRIBLE ungodly bad push i was kinda kicking my self for not making any changes.

 

Any one have an ITR front sway bar??

 

And also congrats to Bob!!! he droped 4 SECONDS off of what he was stuck at from saturday to sunday!! good job dude!! No more following me though

 

 

It was great to be back out on the track again, esp with the Nor Cal HC guys great group of racers. Hope more guys show up to the next race.

I qual'd with a 2:06 flat from what Jimmy said. Does that count for the record or does it need to be done in the race? Mylaps doesn't have the times posted yet so I don't know for sure.

21.7 Lap Record

A lap record will only become official when the NASA office publishes it with as the “Official Lap Record.” A lap record will only be valid when set during a race. A lap record set with a vehicle that has been found illegal in impound for that race, will not stand.

Thanks I thought so but I didn't feel like looking it up. So Chris still has the record. Damn tires!!!!
