You can google Bruce Leven - Bayside Disposal Motorsports if you think he doesn't know what he's talking about... :unibrow:


Mr: "Trash is Cash"!

My buddy is building a car for Bruce. Really neat vintage hot rod stuff.

I saw pictures of Bruce's garage. Wholly Smokes!

Normally he's having 2 or 3 or 4 built at the same time... it never stops...

ask him about Jeff Eischen. They worked together back in Bruce's racing days. Jeff isn't really a car builder per say. He was a partner in an Indy car team back in the day and an incredible fabricator. His attention to detail is insane. He builds one car a year and they have all been for himself except this one for Bruce.

Here is a link to a couple of cars he built out of his shop..

Now THIS is how you maneuver Thunderhill in a muscle car.

Good find Dave --- watched it a couple times and picked up a couple line changes!

I wish they ran turn 5 so I could watch him there instead of the bypass...

Can someone tell me what software was used to overlay the graphics on that video? That is pretty cool!

Steven M (sik68) sent it to me. :thumbsup:

I think Gaetano said the bypass shaves 2 seconds on average?

Pretty sure that is a Traqmate system.

Looks like you're right, I found it listed on his website. That system looks really cool, but it is a bit pricey...

Thanx!

I found other posts with that car / racing team -- with them running turn 5....

I can tell you right now -- that Charley and his buddies that are very familiar with this track - are running good cars - and making 2:11's or so.... He timed me on one or two laps and got 2:15 and I know I was doing way better than that on Sunday afternoon... but when I see this guy ripping off 1:54's --- it's like OMG -- no way I'm to going to be running like that!

I was hoping to get into 2:08's or better.... and have my GTechPro Fanatic RR all set and ready to go to clock my times. I'm mostly going to set it up to record the splits so I can break down the track and try to improve in one or two spots per session... then finally put 'em all together and see what happens.

You have to remember Dave Brown has multi championships under his belt.

What really amazes me is that he's running a stock front subframe. rear set up is LD
