Ron do you carry and sell the 3m 2000* seam sealer? How's many tubes would typically be needed to seal a car (approximately)?

Will you do a video on this car on your YouTube channel?

Just bought 2 time slots! Exciting

Once the time slot is purchased is it taken off to prevent someone else from buying the same time slot?

Hey Sandbagger, I don't see any sub 1:50 bet options... :stirthepot:

Yes.....

My personal YouTube channel is under GregWeld or GregWeld1

:lol:

It isn't going to run sub 1:50's. Not enough horsepower.

I thought we were building a "momentum car"???


:lmao::catfight:

I am interested in this as well. :)

How big are your gaps? How much tin in the car? And on and on....


Order the stuff off Amazon --- or find it at your local race shop/store and take back the unopened tubes....

I found them on Amazon to. I'm going to order about 5 tubes and buy as needed from there.

I have all kinds of little holes and access points in my rat trap... was always something I thought of "dealing with". :)

Amazon. Yep, thanks. :thumbsup:

Reminder ----- get your bets on!
 

Hey --- very few of you have much confidence in your guessing skills --- WTF....

Get your $5 and plunk it down on a square!!

Just found out -- I think we're running BACKWARDS --- so that ought to open this wide up!!

hey Sutton.... does Benny have any lap experience at Thunderhill running the opposite direction? :headspin:

This. Changes. Everything. I may have to pick up a few more squares and put some scientifical thought into it. I know the rearview mirror is huge but am now second guessing Ron’s “aero package”....no offense Ron but I’ve seen aero really start to unwork when the car gets turned around. :headspin:

I run in TTU and TT1 with my Viper's and yes indeed no normal car can hang with the prototypes. The proto's are deep into the 1'40's at Thunderhill. I wish they had their own class. I can beat all but the fastest of them, but I'm at 735rwhp, 2995 lbs and lots of aero. What is the RWHP of the mustang? You might be able to squeak into TT1 and be extremely competitive. Nasa uses a formula for the hp of your car, it's not the peak, it usually works out to about 10% less than your peak.

Hope to see you out there!!

Are you running August 4/5th??

Then it wouldn't be an UNLIMITED class....... I like the run what ya brung. The whole reason I built this car --- is because I hate rules. Rules just bring about cheating trying to make the class etc..... in TTU -- you run what you have and let the lap times speak for themselves. If you're not "competitive" -- then ya gotta bring more "whatever". My goal was never to win anything -- just be "up there". It's all just for fun and because......

I hear ya! I run in both just so I can break more track records, but yeah worrying about cheaters sucks! I've got a stock ACR I run TT1 in and a 9 liter Viper I run TTU in, I've got 6 TT1 nasa records with the ACR and one in TTU with the 9 liter, I hope to add more soon. I've been following your build, been thinking about doing something similar but probably with a '69 Camaro body. I think I could end up being 350 lbs lighter than my current TTU car. Good luck at Thunderhill!

This, to me, is why old school NASCAR was so much cooler than today. There's no denying the tech of today is far superior but it's boring because no one can show up with a killer combo that just blows everyone away.

This is also why road coarse racing with different classes on the track at one time is great. It allows you to see just what the difference is in the classes in real time.

Anyway, I'm rambling and need to go into the garage. Good luck, Greg. Hope you have fun and the car does well.

We chose to build this car heavier --- rather than going all lightweight... I'm an amateur weekend warrior..... and this car was built so I could sneak up on it - start in HDPE 4 -- get comp'd -- and begin to run TTU.... But that was all before my f'ing cancer ordeal...

Now we have Benny Moon ---- and had I planned for that (me not driving) I would have asked for it to be built lighter. I was going for something I could drive at 85% -- be fast "enough" and be "safe" too. Ron has been my guiding light for a number of years now - and I know he wouldn't even build me one of his light speed rocket ships! For you? You need his 950hp 2300# '69 Camaro bodied babies!!! DO IT!! LOL

I never ever wanted to crash my Lotus 2-11....... nothing there but an aluminum box -- light and fast? Oh yeah -- but I would much rather walk away. It's only for fun.

Shoot man, I didn't realize you had cancer. Well anyone with this kind of tenacity should do very well fighting that disgusting disease!

Thank you..... I had it lapped and then I spun out. But I'm still shifting gears.

If you guys ever want to take it here- https://www.indemotorsports.com/ I'm a member and can take guests. Would be cool to see it out there, it's an amazing track!

Ah --- a Tucson guy!!


The guy that owns and developed that track -- and I have driven it (my Audi R8 Spyder) -- is a friend of, and lives in the same neighborhood, as my buddy Lee and they're very good friends. He's a super cool guy -- and into all the right things -- planes - cars - large boats.....

Inde is on my list of tracks to visit with Barney now that I'm out here. Have heard good things about it...

Remembering the R8 -- was a surprise birthday gift to my wife -- a friend made a "meme(?) out of a photo during the unveiling. LOL

Arie Luyendyk Jr shredded it's brand new set of tires in a few laps at INDE..... mostly just power sliding every corner - one handed while talking on the radio. LOL

I dunno

I don't think he has many laps at Thunderhill. So probably none in reverse.

:badidea::stirthepot::action-smiley-027:

That's cool. What tracks do you like to run at?

Ron-I went back through and saw pictures of the exhaust being routed through the tunnel, curious where and how it’s exiting. If I recall you’ve installed a mostly flat bottom with naca ducts for the rear brakes...any pictures on a lift with the full pan and what nots in place?

:flag2:

We're not spilling our guts here...... LOL


Exhaust exits with dumps


Tunnel bottom closure/coverage is optional.... we'll be watching temps etc this coming NASA event now that it's coated with the 2000* stuff inside and out.


Remember the goal here --- was originally just for "me" -- so the fact that I might run 1 whole second slower average because of weight or aero not being IMSA LMP perfect..... yeah - big whoop.


Now --- having said that --- if a guy want to beat a track record -- or run with TrackMuscle..... then maybe all that has to be spot on.


See where Dylan is? See the muffler on the table --- that's going right above his head and then turndowns.... all of it beautifully TIG welded......

Ahhh, I see...kinda. If I’m seeing and understanding correctly, exhaust runs through the tunnel, which can be closed off, past the rear axle (over or under) and dumps into the diffuser? If so, BRILLIANT!

Haha. Not brilliant. Just common sense. But yes, the exhaust dumps in front of the diffuser so it can be extracted with the under car airflow coming out the rear of the car through the diffuser.

Dave Brown ran a 1:54 in Karl Chikas '69 Camaro w/stock subframe, lateral dynamics 3 link, 275's up front, 315's rear, & 650 hp at crank.
This thing should run 1:51's or less with ease

I assumed he was running 315’s all around.

Nope.

Dave Brown is not your average driver. :bigun2:

Nope!
