Guess we'd need to see some ACSC-verified times to consider you legit. :lol:

Is that 25 for the man and 25 for the car? :unibrow:

True story guy's. Vince works on my car and upgrades things without telling me and I dont notice any changes sometimes till months later :lol:

Pay attention sonny :lol:

I can only hope. Thanks for the props :thumbsup:

Your full of it. You can drive and you know it......just need to keep up with the times and build yourself a race car like everybody else is. And dont forget, being Italian makes me inherently fast :lol:

Sorry Bret....maybe if you posted a little more I'd remember you were still around :lol:

Couple other mentions that I forgot.......Steven and Jon.....both guys were at Buttonwillow last year underpowered compared to the mentioned and laid down some very respectful lap times :thumbsup:

I'm really looking forward to it. She will be done!! Heck, I need to get her done before Hot August Nights.

Thanks for the kind words on the rendering. I'm liking it and it's just that extra motivation to get out there and work on her.

I saw all the sh*t talking on the other Buttonwillow thread. Looks to be a lot of fun coming up in September. I'll be there.

Stay in one piece! :unibrow:

:ttiwop:We need to see something.Maybe a new gas cap,anything.:lol:

Ok, Ok Scott......while we're in intermission here waiting for my heads to show up I'm going to trickle in vids from T-Hill one session at a time. Apologies for the camera angle in advance. :D

I can actually contribute.........sometimes :lol:

Thanks Sieg!! :thumbsup:

Here's session 2. Car was still pushing but I managed a 2:07.6

Well..... I'm feeling a whole lot better about my driving right now! Thanks for posting!


:unibrow:

Did you car forget that it was not also Italian when it broke down on you?

Matt

Nice, very cool track. I watched both and felt like a kid in the back seat trying to lift my head up to see over the dash for a better view. And then, I realized I was hearing something. Go back and listen again. Did you hear that? Yes that.... kind of sounds like a timing chain. Im just saying....:rofl:

It delights me to inspire you Greg :lol:

Ah c'mon Matt....you could do better than that :lol:

Yeah Bret.....I dont have much luck with the video thing......I usually bust out my 4' level to gauge camera height from the roll bar mount to the dash but slacked off this time.....Oh well, next time

......ohhh and the timing chain joke....not funny :lol:

OK guy's, here's session 3......lucky for you guy's its the last vid of the day......and no, the chain brake isn't in this vid......that was session 4.
Just a few laps in this one but the one where I got my fastest lap time of 2:04.9. Once again, apologies for the camera angle.....

Is that the Millenium Falcon replica you're driving or a Camaro? :unibrow:

And I think your Hyper Drive is not yet fully operational.

:woot:

I know, right? :lol:

I thought the vids sucked but I threw them out there anyways( :) smiley shrugging his shoulders).
At least I didn't pull a Weld and post a mirror image vid :lol:

The vids are great man, now we know you ain't lying. :D Glad you finally a working video out of your arse. :lol:

Cool videos of your warm up laps, Is there one of you at racing speeds?? :rofl:

BTW.. where is your Sfi jacket and gloves??

:rofl:

Agreed on the safety stuff... G, you're going pretty dang fast for a t shirt and no gear.

:lol: Now that was good........

I left the jacket and gloves in my race car :lol:

On a serious note......I haven't spent a whole lot of time reviewing vids but the car did get better with every adjustment I made. By adjustments I mean tire pressure, shock adjustment, and rear roll center adjustment. My front tire temps up front were 7 degrees hotter on the outside then the inside and I had forgotten my alignment shims at home so I was stuck with that all day. The rear temps were hotter in the middle as I continued to take air out of them but wasn't adiment about it since the rear had plenty of grip. One key thing to remember on these track days in hot climates is that as the day goes on the sun heats the track and it seems difficult to keep up with tire pressures. The car is probably at about 80-85% adjustment wise and I think one or two more track days and she should hopefully be where I want her.

That first video is flat painful to listen to with the spoiler piece dragging. That had to be one of the longest laps for you. I would say the timing chain lap was the longest but sitting on the side watching others go by doesn't count.

The painfull part was trying to figure out what the hell I broke. Sounded a hell of alot worse than a spoiler brace.

I had the chrome trim fall off my grill leaving the dragstrip the other week and I could not stop the car fast enough to figure out the issue. I couldn't imagine having to complete a lap out there.

A while back Dave told me you were thinking of hitting the track again on the June 30 weekend. You think the car will be ready by then or you skipping to the Buttonwilow event? I'm trying to make the June 30 weekend assuming the new trans install goes well.

Steve

Unfortunately the engine issue set me back budget wise so it's straight to Buttonwillow from here unlesss I pick up a couple of nice remodels. Overhead is a bitch!! :rolleyes:

It's statements like these that make me so happy I'm retired!

Work sucked... and it interfered with my social life!


:wow: :lol:

I just got nailed with too much this year.....truck engine and rental repairs along with a roof.......not to mention the fun stuff :unibrow:

Note to self; invoice 369 December 22nd. LOL

See, that's why you make the big bucks! I love the way you think.

I still run ye ole way, when collecting interest was a crime punishable by death.

Now was that necessary....Can you please leave your percentages input for the investor thread....sheesh :lol:

Hey dude you still need to reschedule the "appointment" you bailed on to check out my deck.... that job could pay for a nice upgrade for ya... :unibrow:

Thanks Bro.....I'll call you Friday for a weekend visit?

Make it the following weekend -- we move next Friday (as of now). :thumbsup:

Sounds good...and Congrats :thumbsup:

Tracky !!! Talk them into a 3000' x 3000' garage with a lift and a game room too

Congrats on your new house Dave

Thanks but save the congrats for when I'm closed and moved in. Nothing is 100% til it's done, but we're lookin good. :thumbsup:

And that garage and lift sound pretty good. But then there would be no Camaro to put inside. :lol:

Where did you end up, if you don't mind me asking.

I expect to be moved to Orinda within 2 weeks.

:thumbsup:

Thanks Dave.....they mentioned they were going to put me in their gallery but after a couple months I didn't think it was going to happen.
