At that point, he had only some karting experience and a Jim Russell course on his driving resume. His first time ever driving a sedan on a track was AT the Driver Shootout and he was matching/beating my lap times by the second day. A lot of young drivers try to just make it in racing based on talent alone. Sean's got the talent in spades, but I think what is going to make him successful is his drive to do the hard work, too. He comes to any opportunity completely prepared.
When he contacted me about joining the team, we were ALL over it! Cheers, Dean |

^ I don't think that they need to be NASA races, but something of equivalent nature. You could just build a budget SM car, and run that next year. Between the Oregon races, and the ones at PR, I am sure that you could get 8 races in between now and then.
Heck, just buy a used SM online for $8k, and run that at the big tracks, and the money you save on transmissions would pay for the car...:yippee: Either way, it would be great to see you again, and I am sure fun to work with you. That is, assuming people don't realize how annoying I am between now and next year, and that they let me come back...:ugh2: I was actually kind of thinking of focusing on National Level autocross next year in SSM while slowly assembling a wheel to wheel race car. Everything I do is more money than I should be spending but hay the wife just started a new job that pays decent. She is now an engine test and calibration engineer of all things. It would probably cause a bit of a rift if I suddenly started spending money on car racing at 3 times my previous rate so I got to be careful though. Bob |

You betcha :D
I am hoping you guys do have some in car video that you will share in the near future. Also, is the dyno plot going to become public now? All this talk of the increased torque from the VVT has me very curious. |

Did anyone confrim exactly happened? Was it really someone who brake checked the drive in the miata on a straight? I have had people pull that crap in lemons where I am screaming in the car "what the hell are you thinking! I'm not tailgating you on the highway!", but I would expect differently from the drivers there.

The motor was specifically designed for the event, so its specs and the exact dyno chart will likely remain confidential. Those are my feelings on the matter... ;) |

you need 8 races minimum before one is allowed to race T25. NASA might even change it to say 10 races.

don't have to be NASA.

Who are you thinking of running with?

I'll most likely be running conference next year in the Miata. Really looking forward to running at Portland/Seattle/ORP.

A friend of mine that runs a Pro3 car in Conferance some SCCA, Conferance is a regonal sanctioning body here in the northwest we don't have NASA, has been pushing me to do enduros with him I just recently talked to him and it and it went well. Seems like he was excited about getting me in the car for races. We raced chump car at Laguna together.
Bob If you get an opportunity to do any sort endurance racing, be it 2 or 4 hours, I say jump on it. It will be money well spent. |
It will be lots of money well spent. |
