F...


That sucks dude...

 

Ah man, sorry to hear it Tarek.

 

Ryan's entrant hype vid shows some aluminum front wheel tubs. Are they big enough for 25" tall tires?!

 

We'll be on 15x10 with 245 Rivals this weekend. Converting to spec tire for 2020 is going to be a TON of work, testing, etc. etc.

The hype vid is real tho!

 

I love that stars and stripes vinyl.

 

Please delete.

 

I will be following Ryan’s progress like I do every year, along with my boss in the #73 evo. I did some of the aero and installed all the suspension components under it’s previous ownership, then Eddie bought it to campaign in GTA, but has had about 1/10th the time we’d hope to for prep. It did a test a few weeks ago at Buttonwillow and had some significant handling issues, hopefully fixed now. It was set up for a billiard table and not Buttonwillow. I doubt we’ll be a threat for podium, I just hope he has fun. Good luck everyone!

 

Sweet, I'll be there pitting for the other EVO in Limited. Tell Eddia to let us know if he needs anything!

 

Neat, he doesn't have many spares, but he's a wealth of knowledge and got started in Miatas, so he's always willing to talk about them when the Evo inevitably breaks down

 

Tim (the EVO owner/driver) and the other 3 of us coming from NM all have NA's, he'll fit right in.

 

I'm looking forward to this

 

It'll be nice to catch up with Eddie, I haven't seen him in years, since I took Blackbird to PIR...

Should be up Saturday morning.

 

It's Saturday morning, did Passey win yet?!

Anxious to see how this event goes.

 

Eddie had a 1:47 predicted in turn 13, but shut it off due to oil pressure warnings. He's going to wire the accusump to stay on constantly and put an extra quart in the engine. It's also pumping about a half quart of oil into the catch can every lap despite modifying the baffles to help aid drain back. Engine was built by ER, might be a bit loose?

What group is Ryan in and why hasn't he posted any times?

 

Ryan's group 1. Had throttle issues in the morning. I think saw him post a 1:49 in first session, so yet to beat last years PB of 1:46.

 

At a 48' atm from what I've seen. Either he has car trouble or the loud pedal is too much for 245 Street tyres on the current setup lol. Guess we'll know soon enough.

 

Or maybe different track conditions vs last year? Granted I can't find the live race monitor results....... I haven't seen many in the low-mid 1:40s and none in the 1:30s.

 

Post on FB this morning reveals they ECU issues from fuel pressure losses on high G corners. They think they have a temporary fix for it for this first session today.
Think the race monitor results are broken. Not working for me either. Track does look super dusty even with the cleaning.

 

Turns out it's on racehero.io and not racemonitor!
