Guys, I so envious of you to be able to take your car to the track. I've been trying for three years and still haven't been able to. I've been plagued with injury time and time again. I thought this year I would have the necessary things to get close and a rebuild of the engine and turbo left me back at square one. I have everything back, engine is partly in the car, I still have to get intercooler, radiator back in the car and some special fixes to get my car started. I hoping to have it running this weekend and if all goes well maybe some track time in June. I still some suspension components like swaybars and new pillowballs (my sound horrible). Hope to meet some of you veterans. Keep racing for me.

 

Have you upgraded your brakes? What type of Swaybars do you have?

Aldo

 

I have a tri point front sway bar (the only sway bar to have) along with some Brembo big brakes. For big brakes I'd recommend Brembo or AP and if you're pinching pennies then Stop Tech makes a good kit for the money.

It's been said over and over but the most important modification you can invest in is yourself. Meaning SEAT TIME, SEAT TIME

 

Well done Fritz. You hit 2:08. Hell I'll I'd be happy with a 2:18. More seat time.You need another camera facing out the rear. It was good seeing you again. Thanks for showing us your latest ride to Ashraf and me. It is a real shame not more of these cars are on the track. I don't see many FD regulars on track around here: you, Marvin McBride every so often, occasionally McNair. I'm usually the only FD when I go.

Will you be at the Alfa event on S Course in May?

 

Hey Mathew,

Thanks to you an Ashraf for stopping by I was able to talk FD for a few minutes instead of the endless Z06 and M3 convos taking place all over the paddock hehe.

We definitely need to get some more support from our Fd brothers. I suspect in the near future we'll start seeing some V8 FDs running some laps and I can't wait to see what that's about.

If you plan on doing the Alfa event let me know and I'll try to make it.

 

I'm already in! Thats were my madness started. My first instructor was some nut in a yellow killer bee.

 

Some crazy fool is missing that car

Just signed up so I'll see you in a month

 

Hey homey! I just signed up for PCA end of May! I see Pete is also in. You guys want me to get a room at the lodge?

 

Check your PMs.

 

^^^^
First Settlers is gonna rock... with four of us, we should just get one of those trackside condos :-)

 

WTF lets get a garage too

 

^^^ that's cool w/ me. I think I'm going to have to work on a temporary intercooler solution for this event, I doubt my v-mount will be ready in time.

 

RGR, I'll call the lodge today and see if I can get a place w/ Garage. Plus, we can get out of the sun during sessions.

 

Hey Pat/Fritz.... I just noticed that I'm in the Black: Advanced (solo) group, and Pat is in the White: Solo group.

What's the difference?

 

Hey Pete, I just got this from their site. I'll see if I can move up, but I think I may be fine in White since I'm still learning how to drive this sucka

Run Group Instructed Description
Green Yes Novice with little or no track driving experience.
Blue Yes Beginner driver, stilling learning technique and how to be smooth.
White No Intermediate driver, drives solo.
Black No Advanced and Instructor drivers, eligible to instruct.
Red No Advanced and Instructor drivers who drive faster cars.

 

^^^^

Well, most of the serious hardware seems to be in Black.... I'll let you in on a little secret, I've only got two days on the Full (three years ago), and five days on the North.

 

Humm, I better try and move up into your group so we can play

haven't seen either of your fools in a while. No luck at the lodge, looks like we'll be staying in town. My buddy Ram will also be joining us.

 

^^^

Fritz, since you've gotta pay to be an instructor anyway, you should just come down and slum it in the Black group with us.

 

I think we got sidetracked and forgot to jump on Bill about not having the HD vid posted yet Unless I missed it somewhere, that is.

Tim

 

^ true that. i would love to check that out

 

I was going to mention that a couple of weeks ago, but decided not to. Def. trying to make it down to VIR sometime over the summer once school gets out.

 

I think they already have my application/check but I've been known on RARE occasions to run in various groups

 

Fritz your PM box is full

 

Fritz-

Got any pointers for me?
