laguna seca 4/10-4/11
 
Here are some pics I took yesterday between sessions. I won't be making it back today because the weather is crappy and need to get some other stuff done. There were a lot of people with cameras so hopefully more pics show up after today.

lol @ 27. Had to have been a joke. Good to see there are more of the "turbos and aero" crowd this year. It was kinda funny last year, the powers that be didn't really understand the whole going fast thing.

^Going fast upsets the balance of the car.

Awesome pics, for some reason I really like the looks of the 9 car.

Those cars are gorgeous.

Carthusiast 04-11-2010 08:50 PM

Mike, got anymore of my spec? Or at least a full size of what you posted?

orion4096 04-11-2010 08:55 PM

They are all at the following link. I have two of your car out on the track... nothing that great, though. BTW, were your driving gloves size 10/medium?

Is that a partially obscured KraftWerks logo on the rear quarter? It looks like 'Miata Challenge' on the windsheild...

That one is mine. 350 whp Rotrex S/C, more fun than can be measured by modern science. Search on m.net for DIY Rotrex for the ugly details (Droid phone link post fail).

Btw, are you turning that Rotrex to its redline now or do you have more blower rpm headroom for extra boost some day?

wayne_curr 04-12-2010 11:40 AM

Good god the aero scene is getting crazy. Some cars are actually starting to make it look good though, thats for sure.

revlimiter 04-12-2010 11:59 AM

I am probably the slowest guy in group A, i was doing solid 1:44s all day, i think the other guys were under 1:40

shlammed 04-12-2010 12:40 PM

snowboarder, i forget... what hood are you using?
Im not sure about the functionality compared to the rest with no data, but i prefer the looks of it. :)

Still at redline. No reason not to - the faster you turn it, the earlier useful boost shows up. If you want to cap the power a flow restriction of some sort seems to work.

All of my power gains have been flow related - better intake manifold (25whp), 99 head with some porting and +1mm valves (another 25), big, cheap ebay intercooler (another 1.5 psi of essentially free boost and another 25 hp).

The next step is 949's magic header and exhaust. I'm shooting for more power band now...
