Flight!!!
:bigthumb: Michael;
That looks like quite a ride! Good thing you didn't have a co-pilot; you'd have a mess on your hands...LOL. Good thing you have a full cage now, made you grow wings. Awesome pic for sure. I had the pleasure of placing 2nd in the car show @ Summit Point this weekend with Mazda Drivers. Motorweek was covering the event in honor of the 40th anniversary of the rotory engine. Unfortunately; on my third run in the pouring azz rain I rounded turn 8 and kept turning right into a jersey wall. Crunched my front bumper and trashed my right oil cooler. Woulda race taped the front bumper and kept running but couldn't find a fitting to bypass the bad oil cooler. Good news is; the car show was over before the crunch...LOL. Best to ya Bud! Dave |

Ok Gadd, we live so close to this track, I've got the perfect place to work on/store one, we really NEED to get a dedicated track car! We'll sponser it thru our business's and write off the expense.
Let's see, I spent the first half of my adult life flying Hang Gliders instead of going to school or making money, and no one will ever accuse me of making smart financial decisions. Hell ya lets do it! Paul . |

Well, I see alot of talk about tires in the "race car tech" section. In TTS, I have yet to see anyone come even close to the times I do with my Hoosiers. Other FD's or any other car on any other tire. Seems most are saying to compete with, or as good as Hoosiers.....NOT!

Impressive! Now take me for a ride next time you are up at Thunderhill! Lets see how you do with 200lbs. of dead weight in the passenger seat screaming bloody hell!

Hoosiers
Michael;
Are those the R6's? I ran a set of A6's for autocross and they did very well. Just got a set of Kumho V710 for combo use, but I think they will get greasy on me for track events. BTW; I'm gonna try to email you some pics, have been busy lately and haven't had time to tinker on the computer. Congratulations on your times there bud. You are kicking ass out there. You need to come to the right coast and show us how it's done...LOL. Regards, Dave:icon_tup: |

Look forward to seeing pics of your car:) -Michael |
I'm thinking of selling the car..... Just had my second kid, now have a 21 month old and a 6 week old, man it's a lot of work. Just don't see running the car much, if at all any anytime soon. If anyone might be interested, let me know.
TIA, -Michael |
Hoosiers!
Oh wait, you guys arent talking about Indiana University... They take too much of my money for me to afford the other Hoosiers! |
