Just to clarify, the TCP car I referred to is a black fastback--I might have mistaken it for the black fastback they've used for TCP development for like two decades now, but I'm not sure. It broke the alternator bracket and crank snout, and did a dive into the gravel. Another guy in a red and white fastback ('65?) with a Cortex suspension (can be seen on their Web site), a car down from me in the pits in the other direction, also broke the front of his crank. Martin Pond's Fairmont was also in my pit row...

And I thought the cost of mountain bike tires was prohibitive...

I may show up as a dopey spectator at Thunderhill, since I have time to yap here, but not enough time to fix my stupid car. My wife's also doing a 13.1 that weekend...

Default Laguna Sounds

Norcal Shelby site posted the sound readings of
the cars on their site for the Laguna unlimited sound day..

Black Pantera going up the hill in 4th gear was 106 ish
Finally figured going in 3rd at the apex of 5 and up the hill worked better and
the 4" 180 headers hit 109.7

A Javelin trans am car was hitting 114 plus
and someone was in the 119 range

My street exhaust which has 10" glass packs and are 3" straight
thru hit 104-105 as Sears a few years back before they thru me out
on a 103 db day

I have a third set of mufflers cans 18" but still 3" straight thru but turn
downs instead of megaphones on them- never been tested but
I believe they are 98 ish
