Congrats to Mark Stielow and Charley
 

Mark won the road course part of the Motorstate Challenge at Gingerman today in Jackass. :thumbsup: Pretty amazing for a brand new car with no real track time to sort it out, full street tires also. Charley will be popping in I'm sure, but he said the car is just so easy and comfortable to drive fast , it's amazing. I think Charley had 9th fastest time, so he was hauling too.............. Can't wait to hear all the particulars.

Jody

There's still the Autocross tomorrow, but Stielow won the road course segment. And that with Jackass on regular Michelin PS2 street tires. :thumbsup:

yes, was talking about the road course event. Autocross should be interesting.

Jody

Wow...was bad penny competing?

Awesome!! :thumbsup:

yes. Steve's car hauls the mail on an autocross. On the road course I think Mark went 1:36, Charley was 9th at 1:41, and I think Penny was in the 1:45 range. DSE held 2nd and 3rd best times in their two cars, but I didn't get the actual time.

Jody

Very cool. Looking forward to Pahrump for sure.

Job well done Guys who had Top speed?:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Prolly had the cruise set, AC on and the stereo cranked to top it off:rofl:
Good job!!

:lol:
Stielow knows how to build them...:thumbsup:

Typical conversation between a Lat-g Dad and their young'uns tomorrow...

Now when you kids buy your first Camaro, always look for the 'Mark' ... of excellence. :D

You got that right! :D

What a well run event. Our cruise to the park for the BBQ had at least three different police agencys helping with traffic. They also set aside two floors of a parking garage for us in the case of hail etc in case it was needed. This tiny laptop is too hard to type on. Yes Stielow finished first in todays road course. The car works so well for it's first track test. The brakes are amazing. They grip even harder as they get hot.Lots of fast cars on the track and lots of guys learning and having a great time. A big thanks to all the sponsors and everyone that made this thing happen. I'm sure they will do it again.

No surprise. Its a bad car thats for sure. :yes:

Congrats!

jody, i had the third fastest time. 1:36.78 behind ryan at dse who ran 1:36.13 and of course mark, with a 1:34.58
was a great event, lots of fun and plenty of sun.
and plenty of off track excursions
jake
i think rupp ran 1:44 and david ran 1:39 or 1:40

congrats Jake, that's awesome! I guess Charley was delirious............... :lol:

Jody

Really impressive Jake since you were down a 100 horse on most of your competition. How about Jackass and the 20/19 combo, imagine it on some R888's. :thumbsup: Jealous as hell!

Congrats Charley & Mark :thumbsup:

That's awesome. A killer car and and just think with some sticky tires and more sorting....look out.

Congrats also to Jake. I dig "Destroyer" Sp?

That's awesome!

Congrats guys!:thumbsup:

Todd, thanks, but its 200 horse i am down, my lowly ls6 is 430 hp at crank.
it was a great time, now for autocross.

Congrats guys, sounds like all the cars ran well.

That's awesome! So Charley how does this car compare to the Mule on the road course?

Very cool.
Congrats to all the guys. This is what makes you really proud of your car, how it runs and how hard you can push it and it's responsiveness.:thumbsup: :cheers:
Very nice.

Doing it on 19 / 20 street tires..........WOW! So much for the 19s / 20s won't work theroy! Big props to Mark for building something fresh and kicking ass!

So what was the tire rule? Who ran what? DSE is usually on BFGs?

nothing lower than a 100 wear rating, and had to be dot legal, not grooved racing tires to be eligible for the competition.

Jody

I haven't been on the site much lately so I feel a bit "out of the loop". What "new" car did Mark use to win the Motor state Challenge?

Dale

Jackass :lol:


LOL... That's the cars "name"


Jason

Here I sit at home... jealous as h*ll of all who are out "gettin' 'er done"!!

Driving these awesome cars is what it's all about - I so wish I was in there with you all.

Happy Fathers Day too!!

Best,
:hail: :hail: :hail:

I hear that Gregweld...... I'm just getting my voice back now and quickly loosing it by cursing the fact I couldn't be there LOL....

i think what alot of people dont think about is that mark also probally has a good amout of seat time on the road course... and road course driving is a hole nother beast compared to auto-x... so its not really a situation of penny or another car not performing just as good its the driver. i mean theres no doubt jackass is a god amongst 69s :D but suspension wise theres a good amount of competitors that have car that are in the same class.

Hello Jason Aschle;

Thanks for the great answer to my question. :thumbsup:

Tell me - did mark name his car after you?

Dale

true, you could put Mark in a rental car and he'd probably be competitive................. :rofl: There are others that are the same, just speaking of Mark since that's the topic. It just shows that the car is capable, which is cool.

better answer? lol;)

o yeah no doubt, i just wanted to thow out my 2 cents (probably worth a penny:lol: )since penny was mentioned... hell you've had to of never heard of mark stielow for someone to even question a car he built performs at the top of the class!:thumbsup:

You can say that about auto cross as well, does not mrs. pozzi usually drive penny?

what a great time. mark can drive period.
the track was alot of fun.
mark won fastest lap on the road course and won overall weekend fastest (non manufacturer) for combined road course and auto x fast laps
david pozzi won fastest autox lap for non manufacturer) kyle had quickest i think
unofficial standings (including manufacturers) quickest road course time and quickest autox lap combined
ryan DSE 69 camaro
Mark jackass
jake jakesrodshop 69 camaro

thanks for the info, and great job. Just think if you had a bit more power................ :hail:

I hear that and this speaks volumes about the Jakes rod shop suspension .....

Jake's just keeping his power down to make things fair...:D

Hey - Thanks for a proper answer. OMG - that car is amazing! :wow: Probably the coolest Camaro of all time. I wasn't going to go to Columbus this year - but if it's going to be there - I've simply got to go.

Thanks again for the link.
