Looking good guys, I need to get out to Thunderbolt ASAP.

 

Anthony, Thanks. I actually didn't even record my lap times this time. I think 145 is possible if you get a good enough run off the last turn. I would assume my lap times were faster since once I passed him he didn't return..I don't think he was really recording his lap times either. I do plan on purchasing some sort of data acquisition or lap timing equipment in the near future.


Not sure what years they were to be honest. I think they were late 80's early 90's 911's.

Another preview...I'll post the rest tomorrow

 

Rich, they let you run the center caps on the track?

 

Looking good guys, but Dan you sooooo need an external mic. That video is awful to listen to!

 

second video.....I figured out how to reduce the buzzing slightly, but it also muffles the audio. I thought I was going to get the point by by the Cobra on the front straight, so he caught me off guard when he went ahead and floored it instead.

That was a cool vid, I can't believe I never thought to attach a gopro to my helmet...definitely makes if feel like you're the one in the cockpit racing.

 

Liking it Scrub. What are you running for brakes?

 

Nice pictures and videos Dan! Awesome to see you just reeling in all the cars on track!

 

Here are some pics from the day as promised.... The rest can be seen at.... track day pics



Clunkers and Red Baron resting







The white 911 was NOT slow




My buddies GTS

 

Dirty D in the house

 

Those are some really nice pics. I'm loving the GTR license plate.

 

I'm running Racing brake bbk front and rear with Endless PC35 Race pads, Endless MX72 rears coming (Currently Racing Brake ET500), Endless RF650 high temperature fluid. The PC35 is a heavy duty racing brake pad mainly used for WTCC, WRC and Dakar Rallies. I was offered a deal I couldn't refuse for the pads so I decided to give them a shot.

The difference between the PC35 pads and my ET500's was night and day. The pedal feel and initial bite was improved vastly over anything I've run before. They do squeal quite a bit on the street when cold, but once they get some heat in them the noise goes away. I'm looking forward to seeing what some of the other Endless pads feel like once these are toast.

not ALL the cars haha.

 

^^Yeah, the race-prepped Porsches on Hoosiers were getting the old 'immediate point-by' from me when I saw them come flying up in my rearview

Edit: I just added up my fuel receipts from the day, and I spent $181.39...... in one day. Wow, that has to be some kinda record. I had to fill up the next morning too before leaving the beautiful state of Delaware

 

Racing is expensive - plus tires, hotel (in most cases), etc etc

scrub's car is a little sharper looking - no offense there Rich, both look good

 

i have raced that track a ton of times with my bike. Crashed at lightning twice. i dunno if i'd wanna bring my car out there tho... luck is not on my side.

"if you aint first ur last!!" *ricky bobby

 

Wow! Yeah that has got to be a record.

 

Great pics Scrub

I love this pic. I'm going for the same half 93 half 99 look. Simple yet beautiful.

With the petrol prices here, each fill up costs me $200

 

None taken Mark, we disagree on most of our viewpoints so I'd expect nothing less

 

How many miles did you drive? I'd be intrested to see what your MPG was with a 500whp FD gets on the track.


John

 

I have to admit I am impressed...

(but damn, one of your tires cost more than I paid for my FC...)

What is your suspension? I don't even see a hint of body lean...

 

what exhaust is scrub running on his car?

 

^RE-A dolphin tail.




John

 

Both Dan and Rich run ZEALs.

 

^^yup, and I freaking love them too...... my level of grip and cornering speeds went up a lot vs my old Tanabe coilovers.

I'm also rocking Endless RF650 fluid and Endless MX72 rear pads. Going to be installing MX72 fronts to match as the RB ET800 pads arent cutting it.

 

A few more snaps taken by someone at the track:

(yes, that pink Exige did APON OUT?!?! with a vengeance)
