With the NASA rules, weight really isnt an issue. I have thought about it but it hasnt been high on the list. It would be hard to give the awesome tone of twin HKS 3 inch cans...

Just got home from 2 days of testing, and wow this car is absolutely on rails. It really shows on turns that I carry 100+ mph of speed into, its unreal. Every session, I could just push and push harder and try to force myself to not to lift/brake and the car would just take it. The overall stability is amazing, the car is just glued to the ground. I am still leaving alot of time out there at HMS since I have to break my old habits but was able to do a 1:39.7 on Nitto NT01. Prior to this, my best lap was a 1:40.2 on new Hoosiers and 40 degree weather. No doubt that with new Hoosiers and a little more courage in some of the high speed stuff that the car will be 1:36-1:37. Videos and pictures to come!

New update, the car is all loaded up and prepped for a double sprint race weekend with NASA FL at HMS. Should be able to get down into the 1:36-37s this weekend with the cool weather and new Hoosiers. Those kind of times should put us up front but you never know. Have 5 cars in class so should be a great race. Results of tomorrow's race to come tomorrow night!

One of the front arms, oddly shaped, dont know what it was called and a rear camber arm got bent. I also bent all 3 out of 4 wheels. I now have 4 bent ones so maybe I can get them all repaired reasonably cheap and use them for rains/spares/something. Could of been alot worse, part of the game.

Well home from a great weekend! We took wins in both races, 4 entries in class, and a 20+ car field. Qualified 2nd overall, 1st in class in both races as well. Best time of the weekend was a 1:38.8, not as good as I wanted but when you have a decent lead in a race, it usually isnt a good idea to start experimenting with new lines lol. Since we met the minimum entries for Hoosier contingency, I also won two free Hoosier tires for these two wins, so that was awesome. Videos are still uploading so links to those as well as race summaries to come.
