Project "Payback"

HA HA Thanks, slap yourself for me would ya?

lets see
road course- get alot more track time in... lets be honest that was only the THIRD time you have even been on a full size road course and when you consider how much more racing time the guys that did faster than you have, you did a killer job.

auto-x - lets be real that course was lame... even more so after i got to see the vid and was able see what it looked like from the drivers perspective. it pretty much consisted of 3 u-turn and that was it... but with that you just need to practice more when they have the smaller tighter courses like a silverton.

speed stop- you need a new trans or get the tko modified and then learn to bang those gears faster... the braking part was fantastic.


o yeah i almost forgot!!!
but first and foremost if you wanna be a winner you need to stuff an LS in there!!!

Too funny. Todd you did great at the event
Thanks again for the hospitality much appreciated. Your car looks great in person and you have it dialed in well. It would have been pretty awesome to tear up the Tarmac with the "twins" next time. Eric is hooked now so we'll have to do it at El Toro in the spring Thanks again bro.

Todd...it took me three days to watch all the videos. Yeah...the internet is really slow here. I think you did a great job and probably had more fun that most. Of course the more seat time you get the better you will be.

Looking forward to seeing you when I get home next month and hope to tag along to a few events.

Thanks again for all the videos!

Luke, it was fun man. I wish we could've cruised them. If the Optima Challenge doesn't get you hooked, nothing will. Look forward to seeing you guys again in February. Just make sure to clear bra that pretty paint job. El Toro will tear up the paint.

Curtis, I appreciate that man. You should come out to the events when you get home. I still haven't convinced myself that I want to run the Camaro at the Silverton. I'm like most of the road racers around here, these tiny autocross courses just aren't any fun in this car. I may have to force myself to get good at them. That is clearly a big weakness for me. I don't think the car is even close to set up right for them. It seems the courses are always small at these big events. I know we'll be back at the speedway after the new year.

My local SCCA has an autocross in the top and bottom lot at Spring Mountain the day after the Optima Challenge.

wow now that is an autocross.

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.

Todd,

Congrats on your experience at OUSCI. Your car is one of my favorites.

See ya at El Torro..
