Fast lap, little fuckup on the carousel cost me 1/2 a sec :-/



Here is another vid playing with a TT2 vette and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD look at that TTB E46 M3 pull me on the straight, he is in front of the vette.

 

Welcome back, John! Try to attend an Open Track Day at TWS one Friday afternoon between now and the TMS event.

To make your day, here go a couple of shots from 04/21/13 of the new and improved 0086 (too big?):

 

Ha! I beat that. New Personal Best: 1:57.672

NASA transponder lap time

Another link to the above in case that one don't work

 

Need more powah! Although, I have removed about 40lbs from the car this weekend and expect to pull another 10-15lbs this week. But I don't think that'll do it, haha.

Do it via tires! Slap on some 225/45-15 Hoosiers A6; that should be good for two seconds.

 

Or more

 

Yup, yup. Not going to A6s just yet, but I'm going to give the RRs a whirl next time I order tires. From what I've heard, 1-2s isn't out of the question for these at TWS.

I've also got a few bits on order that should give me another 5hp or so. Not a lot, but it can't hurt.

Nice, your cars lookin' great steve! I haven't had a chance to drive that direction since the event horizon. (hoosiers) lol But if i can mimic what i did going cw i would hope i could turn a 1:53 or high 1:52. I was always about 1.5 sec. faster going cw.

 

 

Thanks! Here go the HPDE 3 & 4 second session on Sunday, for your viewing pleasure:
(It looks better on YouTube)

 

hauling ***, what is your whp, do you have any data for your laps?

 

Estimated rear-wheel horsepower is 225

Unfortunately, my Traqmate decided to record the laps from Sunday's first session but not the second session. So, no data from the laps featured in the Epic Video.

I don't even know what my top speed was on the big straight, as my Traqmate display obscured the speedometer (sitting on the steering column).
