On Day one did that Vette lose it on the turn?

Nice pics. I cant wait till DE's start around here, to cold right now.

Looks like a lot of drama to me, what lip # are you on now Dado? Hmm europersona should have my cha-ching by today. Wouldn't that be nice? I'm going to sell my car with the CO's; going for something turbo. There are a few Mk. IV TT Supras in the area I'm looking at. Maybe I can be on the Teckademics Racing Team now..





Are you going this weekend too? If my friends and I can find a nice road trip vehicle we might roll down there.

I'm a little surprised to hear about your rotors, I guess there's always going to be a "weakest link" when you are on the track, the more time you have the more links you fix, the faster the car gets.

How did the turbo go? What were you running? (boost, temperatures, etc..)

Summit Point was a good testing weekend for Dado and Marks...both of their cars are running well and they are coming along in their driving as well...we are starting to get more enthusiastic as a team and hopefully my car will be on track soon enough! Now the cage is complete and we are left with lots of little things to finish up...looking to the Mazda DE at VIR 3/27-28 to be my first testing weekend...can't wait! I think it will be the first time we are all on track for a weekend as a team! Hopefully we'll get some 'work in progress' pics of my LTW shortly...

Dado & Marks...great job this past weekend...Glad I could come out Saturday but sorry I missed Sunday, I had a really late Saturday night and that screwed up my Sunday plans to come out...

sunir, hows YOUR diff doing...hmmm

[sunir]

We go the diff in time but the rest of the chassis wasn't ready to go...unfortunatly I ended up missing the test days at Summit Point ....but the cage is complete now and looking good...I have to go in and primer/paint it over the next 2 days....along with installing the Fire system and some other things, it's getting there, just seems to be such a PITA sometimes...

I'm looking at a couple of weekends at VIR to get some seat time with the car before the club race in mid April. I rode with Dado on Saturday at Summit Point and the diff felt good in his car, props to diffsonline for putting these together for us in short order and building a fine diff! I look forward to running mine shortly hopefully it'll be one spiffy diffy

[E36DJ]

shouldn't be as much of a problem for you anyways, sunir.. unless you dropped in an AA turbo that I didn't hear about.

When are you rolling out to the local meets again?

[doofoo]

Good to hear your almost done sunir.
~Marks (MCouper), forgot to log out doofoo....

[onefastm]

[L3it3r]

[nismo2491]

nice pics. I'm going to try to make it to a event there this year sometime with my 240 but I doubt I'll be in the same class as you. then again I might since I'll be turbocharged and suspension and brake work so.... even if I don't make it out there with my car I'd like to go to an event out there. always had fun at those. glad to hear you didn't break anything this time.
whats up with the e30 with all the smoke.. he break something?
