[LITEWAITM3]

So did dado's car make it to the track Howd ya do Dado? Update us tommorow evening... Videos/pictures would be nice too if you had time...

Did you enter in as a novice and get instuctors, or pay the guy a couple bucks to run in advanced, haha.

I just talked to dado. Hes on his way back with david from pro-imports. Unfortunately David is driving. According to Dado, he blew his diff. in turn 1 on Sunday. When he gets back Ill speak with him and we'll see what will happen to get the car back here.

[LITEWAITM3]

Wow something broke on the car, what a surprise

Sorry he did not get a chance to drive the car past turn 1...now he knows why I strongly suggested getting an NA engine built for the car. Turbo's are just a hassle for road racing, short high power band is crazy stressful on components, just not something for a clubracecar.

[TheWiseGuy]

he actually had a full day of driving on saturday. The car was set up right down at cdoc. Im awaiting to find out why it blew.

The car looked good out there.

it was nice to meet some of you as well....

[LITEWAITM3]

anyone got rough lap timesof him?

[Dado]

under 2:20 with falken 451.

Running 10psi

shifting at 6,000

only suspension mod was the kw suspension. no sways, no camber plates, etc... those extra parts are sitting in the garage. I wanted to try the car just with the coilovers.

tire size front 235 rear 255


BTW this was my first time at VIR. Not sure what are good times and stuff. I suppose it's good since I was behind gts r vipers with full slicks and passing z06's with full slicks.

[LITEWAITM3]

Is that under 2:20 from a timer, or guestimate?

Hehe, well compare lap times, not who ya pass, lol. There are a LOT of guys on the track in very fast cars going very slow

[Dado]

i got the video so I will post it soon. I timed it from the video.

[LITEWAITM3]

Oh cool, yea get that video up, very interested to see.

Is it just from in the cockpit?

[Dado]

yup with lateral g forces and braking forces. I was seeing 1.2 g's on street tires.

remember that this is my first time at vir so my lines are a little off. Also my first DE but I was running on advanced group. You can actually see some inside corner passes

[LITEWAITM3]

Which video system di you use, the Pi system?

Also,was that calibrated correctly, because that might not be a corrected G force reading.

[Dado]

it's the autoxcam system. edited my post above too.
