Dirt Missile rebuild begins

[Panteracer]

I remember talking to Jeff Foster a few years back
(he drives a very bad ass Cobra).. they were trying out
a new porsche with the new sequential trans
He told me it was like cheating.... he was messing
with it at the starting line of an autocross and it was in
4th gear... the brains of the car automatically put it
down in 1st and he was off.. it did it so fast he didn't
lose any time.. but Porsche has a lot of testing etc
in their cars.

I changed the cam in my 47 year Old Pantera because
the GT3's were starting to pull me down the straight
all because of the new sequentials

You can pick up a new Gt2 RS at the bottom of the
ocean where that ship went down

Dirt Missile is really looking great nowadays

Glad things are coming together and that the "dialing in" continues. It was a lot of fun to watch Jay run the car and the crew at Speedtech have done a great job. Looking forward to seeing more.

Car looks great and and the track vids show Speedtech did a wonderful job recreating this beast

Are you using a fire suppression system?

I was going to leave that out and hope the old car burnt to the ground..... but yes — LOL — there’s a full fire suppression system in the car.

I was wondering where they placed the nozzles?

[BMR Sales]

"Special" Nozzles or ones that work?

Typically there would be one (or more) in the engine bay — and one on the firewall inside the car - and one at the fuel cell.

Remember that these systems really aren’t made to put out a fire — they’re installed to buy the driver time to escape....
