Todd it was nice hanging out with You, Kelly, Dave, and Doug again. Dinner was nice and low key. Greg and myself will be down at RTTC we'll see about bringing Tim, although he is a bit of a trouble maker.

We might be able to talk Greg into driving his car at elToro.

its been awhile since I did any autocrosses but practice has alot to do with knocking your time down.
Have you done a driving school? maybe doing a couple of those will help your road course times.
But most importantly is try and get Rodger and Doug to speed up development on the BBC to LS9 Spray.

They have a few great course designers. I heard through the grapevine that they were contacted to set up the Optima Challenge course but couldn't come to terms.

Weld won't show up, it would be impossible for him to back up his big mouth witht that dump truck.

I am going to do a driving school, possibly with my own car. I need to learn how to heel toe badly along with racing lines.

****, I already have more power than that little mouse, LS9. Stock of course. Weight is comparable with the added weight of the supercharger.

Yeah but its the curve that matters. It would interesting to see what both curves look like on top of each other.

Power isn't the problem. I turn it to 6800 and it's still making 632hp at redline. Peak power is 666hp at 6200 and 641 ftlbs at 4700. I realize this LS9 graph is the minimum the engine will produce but I have it by a nice margin all over the place. There are stock chassis dyno pulls on youtube and they make 520- 530 hp to the tires and 518-525tq. I made 493/497 at the tires with my old engine and it only had 593/587 at the crank. The biggest difference is the LS9 gets good mileage and has a mild hydraulic cam. I have to build a solid roller motor to compete. Now, my engine doesn't have a large cam by solid and big block standards. It's got good drivability. I'm not trying to say my engine is superior to the LSX line, I'm simply saying I have plenty of power to compete with anyone. I could pull off 4 plug wires for these tiny autocrosses anyway. I don't come close to full throttle. In fact, I didn't use full throttle much in the speed stop challenge either. I couldn't find the traction.

I'm bringing some big guns to RTTC - and have a couple things lined up to surprise and delight....

Neither of which is named Bob or Tim.

Todd take the driving school with your car and get an instructor that yells at you. Smooth is fast, always, the suspension likes to be loaded and not see any abrupt changes. Now get out there and pass that " Top Gun " test.

Vegas69 · #**1827** 11-11-2010, 08:07 AM

That's the plan along with some chassis changes.

Todd,

I am looking into a driving school also, not sure if this fits into what you are looking into but here it is. It's at El Torro also.

Man, did all of us have a laugh taking that pic! If you can't have some fun with good friends during an event like this, it's time to go home.

That was definitely one of many stomach ache inducing laughing moments of the week/weekend. Good times my friend.
