[sevillaz28]

I'm registered RED Group for Saturday

[Gitter Dun]

Sounds great Chris, I'll be in red also, see you there.

[MrQuick]

haaa haa too bad I don't name projects cause I'd call the next one "Easy Rider"

[Gitter Dun]

It would probably be a three wheeled Camaro with a wing, lol

7 cars and twice as many people this time around and there is still two weeks left, not bad guys, should be a good time.

Less than two weeks to go and as usual anticipation is killing me. The guys at dream speed discoverd that my front springs were to short and damaged my front shocks.

They advised that I go with a longer, softer spring this time around and in addition we have lowered my rear end gears so I am looking forward to seeing what these changes will do for my car.

I have not run Buttonwillow since the changes to the rear suspension and now front suspension and my last lap times there were 2:15. My goal this time around is to knock 5 seconds off that time.

In addition, I want to thank the guy's at dream speed motors for the new air cleaner set up. I showed up to the shop last saturday and we were standing around my car with the hood open and when I turned to look at the engine compartment it surprised the shat out of me when I seen it. They did not tell me about it and was never part of the plan, THANKS GUY'S!!

[sevillaz28]

I cant wait either. This will be my third time out and I finally get to run. I did some extra work to my car to even out the weight of the big block and on the streets it feels really good.

Hey Gaetano, With all the suspension work you should kill your last time. I still have those springs if you need them.

I just got done reading the Buttonwillow 7-31 report and it sounds like a great time. Looking forward to the 25th and meeting some peeps. This is definately what I need. The only problem I see is the possibility of spending more money on better parts down the road. For now I just want to get it on the road. I'm back out to the garage!

[Gitter Dun]

Rob, I'm assuming you have already invested in a set of aftermarket control arms. If you are thinking about spending a lot of track time be sure to work on things that will save you money later on. I recommend starting with a Canton road race oil pan. An oil cooler and thermostat will also be necessary. From there work on taking weight off the car.

And alway's remember, safety comes first. As you progress, so should your safety equipment!!

Cant weight ti'll the 25th either, see you then.

I've only done the G-mod w/ hotchkis springs front and rear and Hotchkis front sway bar. I will do some tubular upper control arms. I'm saving up for some Varishocks also. I will keep the oil pan in mind when I build my 383.
As for the helmet issue, how closely do they look at the helmets? My wifes Arai is Snell and DOT. No Snell SA2005. Thanks.

[Gitter Dun]

SA 2005 is the required minimum. Remember, safety first!! There should be a snell rating somewhere in there. Snell means that it has been tested and should have an application rating. DOT alone means that the manufacturer believes it will meet DOT standards but has not been tested.

I may bring a ringer just to mess with the pack

[Gitter Dun]

That would be cool, throw some fat gummies up front and see how she does!!

I'm looking forward to putting the Road Runner on the big track again since April. I know everything is good/great for dominating Autocross, but I have some concerns about the brakes and cooling that we had last time. Hopefully the changes I made help a lot.
