Yeah you can tell he isn't the average guy at a Run to the X event.

Speaking of, he should bring a car to RTTC next year and just clean house.

I like knowing he he is doing that with that stock sub. That car really isn't that exotic or crazy at all. Nothing that couldn't be driven on the street with the right gear.

Now go get em Weld.

Clearly he is a great driver and his car is working perfectly. He's making a few HP too. I don't see him cleaning up at multi event though.

Ah..... the old "SKILLS" can outdo equipment any day....

I always refer to our beloved Mary P.... she goes out and lays it down REGARDLESS of what the car handles like.. she just adjusts and get's 'er done.


It always brings fond former memories of when I used to drag race - and you'd go out and kill some guy with far better equipment... but you'd do it with tire pressure - and timing - and the right A/F ratio at WOT.... just simple stuff that all the equipment in the world doesn't teach you.

I talked to Karl earlier this year at Infineon and I believe he said 480 to the rear wheels.
IMO it all boils down to wheel time. These guys have been racing for many years consistently.

That's the thing with the multi events. You don't have much time to figure out the course, let alone memorize it. Road racing is repetition and once you find the lines and set up, you can shave some serious time. Not taking anything away from him, just stating the facts.

All true points. And my comment about RTTC was not very serious.

Yeah it's a dry sump 387 making "only" about 600 crank hp.

[Vegas69]

He's got it in the sweet spot because it's motivating that car plenty. I bet it's in that 3100-3250 range.

[Track Junky]

Fiberglass front end and doors. No side glass and lexan. I think he said 3100.

its all about being consistant and hitting your lines right. Chicca's Camaro kicks ass

thats what makes auto x fun, you don't usually get enough runs to memorize the layout. It mostly comes to driver instinct and setting up the car right. You can only get so much walking a course...unless your a Pozzi.
