Default Looks like I might actually make it to Mid-Ohio and run ST2

Just got off the dyno 344 HP(from 449) 341 Ftlb, who would have thought that taking away power is as hard as adding it.

Couple more things to do then I head out, I can't believe the amount of work to get this car in shape. Anyways I'm sure I'm only half way there


Let's see how she runs

Bob, we should have figured out a way to do that to that ALMS Porche last weekend. I was really hoping you had something for him on Sunday. You still ran very well.

Btw, Nancy did well in representing the number 38. I think you should let her car wear it with honor.

GL Terror with the Nat's.

Ken,
Glad to hear you got it done!

Like Mayer said, you went the wrong way in HP.

Good luck and I expect a full report from Mid-Ohio when you can.

Hey - if you don't need those extra 100hp, I could sure use them!

We're still considering trying to make it to MOH for the NASA Nats. It's not in the budget, but then again neither was blowing a motor at VIR.

Good luck up there!

Good luck guys, we were hoping to make it as spectators but that is not looking good either.
Trying to get put together for SVRA at Autobahn next weekend.

Good luck Ken. Hopefully the car will run well now that there's some damping in the suspension.

Default entry list

Does anyone know if NASA posts an entry list for the event?

Haven't found one yet and want to know who is registered in my class.

Thanks

Henry, here's a link to the registrant's:

I noticed you were in a Radical. You guys should have a heck of a race.

Thanks Jody,
I'm glad I saw it because I happen to have a car number that someone else had. My name isn't even on there, just sponsors but that's good so they won't know I'm coming.
Big group, I see Bob is in the group.
I guess I'll just need to put the car on pole so I won't get run over by the big cars!

Henry.........
I'm glad to see you're going to make it to MO (make sure you come down to garage 9 and help us drinks some crown and some beers.) But why the radical??? Fire up the Black Corvette and come race ST1....after all you do own a CORVETTE racing school(). It would be like the old T1 days.................. besides, I need a rematch

I coudn't run ST1, I would still have to run SU and it woudn't be fair to give you a rematch in that car since I put a 7 litre (700HP) motor in it.
A Radical Prosport won the overall last year with one of my instructors driving, so I went out and bought one to run this race and then the SARRC Invitational.

But I will come and see you. I'm planning to be there Wednesday afternoon. Camping out in my coach somewhere out there.
When are you getting there? Is Ed coming out?

I just sent you the link, Scaryfast was the one that might like the rear end out or it and I think Rob might had needed a part or two.

Let me know if need a hand with anything, if that doesn't work out I do have a 91 C4 4sale

Henry.....
lets be real........you'd beat me driving a lawn mower
I know Chris Hall won the SU last year. (I think Larry's radical blew up or something), so I know you have a damn good shot of winning this thing. Put a horn on it okay.....beep it when you get ready to go around me, 'cause I can't see the damn things and I would hate to do this to you!!!
I'm flying in sometime on Wednesday. The crew should have the car there wednesday as well. We'll be in garage 9. Ed isn't going this year. See you in a couple of weeks.
