Congrats Guys. Mike, heard you were out at the Race School last week. How did it feel going from 138 to 700+ Hp? haha

 

Thanks Stan! I assume you are talking about instructing out at the Andretti/Gordon Driving School? Yes I was out there last Thursday. Its quite a difference between the Z and those little used & abused BMW Z3s lol.

 

I think that's a MASSIVE understatement.

Yeah Rudy called and was like, "I'm driving with Mike" I was like WTF? haha

 

LOL, yeah those things are pretty beat, I am not going to lie...

 

Damn straight Scott! You twisted my arm making me drive around on your nice wheels and have more fun cornering in my car! It was pure hell!

Once again, congrats on the finishes!

 

Congrat Scott, Mike!!

What can I say but WOW! You guys have been busting B@lls since SEMA.
To make it there after all this and place so good in a more competetive venue says alot. You guys are def going places, but as I learned you cant do it yourself (sponsors).

Scott great job this is the second time you have been put in a car with a diffrent set up as you are used to, and find a way to put that thing on the podium. Great Job.

Hopefully you guys will be able to make it up this way next year.

Luie

 

Thanks Louie, I hope we can get out on the east coast too next year. The competition is pretty good, and getting stiffer and stiffer, so I hope we will be able to keep doing as well as we have been, I got a few plans with this car for next year, so it should be interesting. Just need more help (sponsors)

 

I haven't heard from Steve (knight_white99). Was he able to get some clean runs in with a properly running car?

 

He was having issues passing the 92db sound requirement. I know he got disqualified on his first of two attempts and he had packed up and left before I saw him again so I don't know if he made his second attempt or not.

 

Mike and Scott: Great work guys! I am in Tokyo and this is the first chance I have had to check in for fun stuff on the internet. Awesome driving. Those are really good times. Mike>>>>did I not tell you that this track was built just for you and that car??
I had a major cooling problem and spent most of Saturday underneath it. Could not get it squared away and am afraid I have a major issue with the motor. Anyway, with a flight to Japan on Monday morning, after it became clear I could not get even a single lap without boiling over I packed it up and came home on Sunday so at least I could pack before midnight! Love Laguna Seca. Big disappointment to not drive even one full hot lap. Not even sure if the problem will be fixed before Cal Speedway either. It is not a bubble, and I do not think it is the pump. Might be a poorly installed cylinder sleeve is what it looks like to me. Sure hope it is not, but only one way to find out, take it back to Mark and let him tear it open.
Love the great results for you and the car, kudos all around to you!

 

Thanks Ed! Sorry to hear about your heat problems. I was hoping to follow you around the track and steal your line one time since I didn't get any practice in! It was good seeing you again and I will catch up with you in a few weeks at California Speedway. I refuse to be all busy and stressed out at that event so hopefully I will finally get to talk to people.

 

Heres a good shot I found over at the Supra forums...



Gotta love the shots from that high compression zone at the bottom of the corkscrew!

 

That's the sweet spot fo sho.
I spun twice there.

 

congrats Scott and Mike. Wish I was there though to cheer you guys on maybe next time. See you guys at CalSpeedway in a few weeks though

 

I think I need to follow you around and steal your line, Mike!
Taking the critter to Mark this morning to de-bug
Paulie, look forward to seeing you at CS in two weeks.
Mike and Scott.....Definitely get some time to relax and run your car at CS. With the Roval I know you guys will have big fun. Be careful about how much wing you dial in!!!

 

Ha, no I am sure my line could use some help. Even after the event I have only completed about 10-15 laps around that track. Cal Speedway will be fun thats for sure!

 

GReat Job for you guys!!!!!!!
STANCE coilovers FTW~~~~~

 

Thanks.

Yes, Stance has been a big help to us throught the year and they have gotten me out just what I asked for and needed to improve on this car in order for us to drive it a little faster and faster each and every time out.

 

What a sweet way to wrap up the year! Congrats guys!!!

Can't wait to see how fast you go in 2008.

 

Thanks Brian, the Z will not likely be in the street class next year with you guys as we are planning on a more intense mod list that should bring this car to the next level of speed in the modified/unlimited classes.

(Still waiting for the HF cats for the NA car to do the dyno test for you guys)
