Because we have nothing better to do that week, we're bringing the GT350 and Taxi too. Sonny will drive the GT350, Dan in Taxi. Not sure what classes. Doesn't really matter as all three of us will get our asses kicked by proper time attack builds. Should be fun just the same.

Arca_ex 10-16-2017 09:58 PM

If the GT350 has 100TW or higher tires it will slot into Limited. Street has to have 285mm tires or smaller. And if the sequential is still in Taxi then that goes straight to unlimited. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars lol.

Sounds like a party. :party:

If allowed to run in ERWD, Sonny in the GT350 with 285 wide 220 TW tires has a real shot of podium IMO.

I'll be watching from my office chair on youtube 1000+ miles away. Looks like a good turn out. I'd like to see that GT350R on 200TW's run. I too bet that could run podium if the conditions are right.

doward 10-17-2017 11:20 AM

If only we had wheels narrow enough for 285s...

Blackbird 10-17-2017 11:34 AM

I'm stoked that you guys are going! It's a great show to be a part of, regardless.

Indeed, the GT350 would have a very good shot in ERWD with the right tire size. Podium last year was 2:00-2:03.

Everyone here qualifies as a pro driver by their rules so, no Enthusiast class for us. Besides, it's not really appropriate for a team with our resources to be running that class.

ThePass 10-17-2017 03:01 PM

I will be there with Hyper. There's about a season's worth of prep/fab/test/tune to do before that car's actually where I envision it for the class (Limited RWD) but this event will be a good baseline, and maybe by SLB 2018 I can bring some heat.

We're most definitely probably maybe also bringing the ND. I just added some aero to that car so now it won't stick out like a sore thumb at SLB being the only wingless car. Will likely run it in Street RWD just to have fun and chase a new PB.

Yes I'm speaking more in terms of just that car on paper. It's probably the right call for you guys to not run in Enthusiast ;)

Same issue, Creampuff is going to be as green of a build as it gets, hoping to cram one test day before SLB but as it is it's a fight to the finish line... I'm still missing most of the bodywork, might have to do a very uncharacteristic thing and run an unpainted car with mismatched, well, everything.

doward 10-18-2017 11:13 PM

I was "approved" to enter the time trial thing, so I'll be driving our yellow car.

doward 10-18-2017 11:14 PM

I was "approved" to enter the time trial thing, so I'll be driving our yellow car in Street RWD.

Its gonna be bonkers. I can't wait.

Where did the sequential go?

ThePass 10-19-2017 12:26 AM

They have wrenches at 949. One could presume it has been removed ;)

Yeah no shit Sherlock. That's why I asked where it went lmao. ;)

Blackbird 10-19-2017 02:13 AM

Pretty sure I know the answer to that question without even asking.

BMWidmer 10-19-2017 09:13 AM
