For it to be somewhat fair, I think you need to modify your FD, so it's closer to 415HP, and purchase two sets of those take-offs I was telling you about . . .

Looked like a 2.12 in the vid so hopefully those motons will come with a bottle of NOS

Hence the bottle statement. I think this car dynoed 369 and weighs about 3100

I think I ran approx 2.08 or 9 on Sunday with what may have been the worst tires I've ever driven on and that's saying something, who am I kidding I just remembered the one time I ran on circa 70s nylon hoosiers now those puppies will help you work on your slip angle lol

With this size tire I'll probably try to find one offs in any make I can get. Pretty much any tire in the size I need for the rears will retail for 300 plus so it doesn't make sense to buy new if used ones in good shape are out there for 75 each especially for HPDE work.

I may not have a passenger seat installed but if I do I'd love to get you out there in it

VIR lists the Zone 2 event as March 18-20, but Zone 2 lists it as March 11-13. Either of you confirmed?

Peter, we're both confirmed 18-20. Signup here: http://www.motorsportreg.com/

Fritz, I'll bring the extra seat out of the Lemons car. I wonder if a 993 seat mount will work in a 997? You may want to check w/ Bob Chick for scrubs. I heard that Bob Woodman is putting the squeeze on Bob Chick tho.

It's a Brey Krause Model R-9060 and it will work in your car. I'll bring it down to the track, or if you want it before hand I'll drop it in the mail. Let me know
