I suspect this is the Reno event being discussed: http://www.norcalufo.org/main/index....ents&Itemid=59 There's still space remaining. Get in and join in on the fun.

Dialing in the new Penske shocks.. money well spent. Car was good, but too stiff.. Mary and Dave kept driving it and saying "LOOSEN IT UP!!".. at one point Doug at Global West un-did one end of the bar.

Earlier in the tests...



Better if you actually go to YouTube and up the resoluting.. top speed on the course was over 70..

Here it is after we added in a little rebound.. seemed to be the right mix.
And if you like your Mary Pozzi a bit more on the "rough" side then this is for you..

PG-13 actually on further review it might be R rated.. lol



Gratuitous beauty shot going through the slalom..

Well, at least it's getting closer.. still lots of potential to be wrung out.

The new 461 is in the car.. waiting on headers, might fire up next Tuesday.

Productive day at Best of Show! :)

Steve --

After all the racing and brake set ups etc... do you wish you would have done more with the master cylinder (dual m/c's with balance bar etc) or is the single dual reservoir plenty? Just wondering how it works in the real world track environment you're putting it thru - since you certainly have "enough" moRtivation to get some speed on! :unibrow:

Is the Wilwood a 1" or a 7/8" ?

Very nice Steve. Killer car for sure.:thumbsup: :cheers:
What headers are you going with on this engine?

BOS was installing a Tilton floor mount pedal system in Alcala's car yesterday.. and see it I did wish I had that system.

BUT.. both my Wilwood and Baer systems never let me down and at last year's Optima we placed second in the braking challenge just behind the Cobra (and just ahead of a GT-R) so they do get the job done and are very simple to live with.

My Wilwood is 1" because I liked the feel better.
