Great pics Todd/Kelli. I like the road course splash pics best. :D

Still lots of improvement left that in that car as you work toward closing the gap to the heavy hitters. Congrats on the great road course showing buddy! :thumbsup:

That way an owner would have a base time the car is capable of and can shoot for that. Most of this --- and I saw it all day long --- is seat time. As the guys learned the course the times started to fall -- same car -- same driver... and not much "tuning"... except the driver was getting tuned up. :rofl:

Look what Nathan did with Bad Penny.... That now tells Steve, or anyone else in the seat, what the car can do.

That's a great suggestion Greg. I'd add, we now have RTTC type events/road course classes/SCCA AutoX at our disposal, what's missing is an opportunity to tune our chasis with the experts. You know, a day w the Pozzis or Doug @ GW who really know these car's have the tools on-site and potentially replacement parts to try out and compare. That is one exercise I'd show up for...(assuming my bucket was running)

Oh yeah, Todd you were smoikin' out there! Good to see you again Bro...

That looks to be a great add-on. I didn't record some autoX runs and any of the Speed Stops because I wanted to guarantee I saved enough space for my final Road Course run. This would solve that.

That battery pack won't help a moron that forgets to charge his battery. :unibrow:

Dunno, you'd have to forget twice. :D

Todd, I sent the shocks out this week for the rebuild. Are you using anykind of bump stop on the rear?

Just the internal stops in the shocks. I was thinking about the shock plates. Since I moved my shocks inboard, I"ve installed a .25 spacer on my rear wheels. It makes me wonder if there is enough clearance now to run it in the original location.

Post up the dimentions of the plates again both versions. I'm going to get them made and sent out to be hardened. Or maybe Titanium.

Hey Todd
Curious how your 'sub' belt worked going over the seat instead of through the seat?
thanks
