WOW, the time was great. Just don't blow it up, but then if you did you could build it up bigggggger. Stay a teenager at heart, the age we can't control but never give in.

See ya down the road

Great job Moon! Remind me, is the OTTP bar you have the street or hardcore version? I'm literally on their site now researching this.

Later
Allex

EDIT: nevermind Moon, reading elsewhere I saw that you have the hardcore bar.

Rear bar is the OTTP "Hardcore", inch and a quarter bar. Put it to the test this weekend, and I can assure you it works, and works good. Back end stayed planted every run. Makes the SS corner really hard. Even competitors were impressed at how it stuck in the corners, especially the real tight ones.
Can't go wrong with that bar.
I was really gassing it up, and I could'nt get it to do any funny stuff. "Moon"

Sorry, I could'nt take pics and drive. I hope someone took some pics, and will post them on the Lateral G site. Results are to be posted on that site, and will make a copy of them. Going over to "Goodguys" office tomorrow and will check on time run results.
Made a "Goodguys" Autocross sign for them, since they are sending me work, so will be delivering it to their office.

08bowtie: Not sure what time would be stock. I'm sure stock would be much slower, and a lot more drama.
Whats the link to the S. Florida autocross results.
Yeah, times are kinda amassing for the different kinds of cars. Depends on handing, how much power you can put down and hook up, and a certain amount of driver skill level involved.
Even at my advanced age, my reflexs are still pretty quick[due to many, many hours, doing racing simulations on Playstation, behind my custom built racing chassis setup I use].
As to the Autocross thing, I think someone stuck the needle in my arm, now I'm hooked. "Moon"
P.S. Oh forgot. If any of you decide to do some track time, do not turn off ESI. Tracton control yes, ESI NO![unless you want a slower time and some serious drama.



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:03 AM.
