I can barely drive 35mph in my own neighborhood :lol: . And the 180 treadwear limitation eliminates me already. Can we PLEASE get together a willow springs day where we can all go out and rip around.

I think penny needs some 100mph+ time. :willy:

what kind of lap times did you turn at Fontana?

Here is some autocross action from Alameda Naval Air Station in my 1965 Corvette.

That could have been a very bad day! Note- oil does not like to stay down in the engine on sustained high g corners!

2:06 was my fastest lap but I was in the white group so I was constantly waiting for the point by. Going to run in the blue group next time so I can push myself and the car a lot harder.

Nice action shot Steve.. i like the white with black stripes!!:thumbsup: Any idea who's that is?

I love this thread. :D

Cool thread. Fantastic looking cars!

I wouldn't call my car a g-machine or a full pro-touring car yet...but it's in progress. Front suspension has been done and a rear bar added. Those parts alone gave major improvements in handling.

Here's my car in April of this year at Sebring.

Taking turn 1 doing just about 80mph.

That's a killer shot Steve!! Are you happy with all the 'changes'? Did you ever get the shocks re-done?

Very happy with the changes.. shocks are the same as at Optima but they need to be re-valved or swapped to some adjustables. Most likely either Bilsteins or DSE shocks.

Will be running the car this weekend in Illinois.. at the Bowler event. :woot:

I just can't get over how nice your car is Steve. And I am really happy it gets used the way it should be.:unibrow:
How is the T-56 Magnum working out? I never did hear back from you on that and would love a report on it from first hand experience.

Here are some more pics for the thread.. from the Bowler Trans autocross.

Mario was also on hand in the Bowler sponsored GT3. In fact there were four cars at the event from the Optima Invitational last year.

That must be Blackhawk...I've hustled a few Buells around that track before.
