I'm not sure what you mean by "closed cockpit". It's got a full roll cage, she races wheel to wheel, so it's a requirement.

@davidpeck596 Geez, David. It was a joke. Meaning, open cockpit Prototype is where her talents should be. Just banter. I'm not convinced you you don't know the difference between open and closed cockpit.

Bolt-on hardware IPD Plenum, GT3 throttle body, Soul Preformance Race Headers, and Exhaust. 100-octane tune. The last time we did a dyno it was 316HP at the rear wheels.

@@davidpeck596 I stopped in Casa Grande yesterday on my way back from INDE, and ended up parking next to your rig. I’m owner of the red GT4, car 57.

@@scottoconnor3484 we’re you at the Olive Garden? I remember seeing your car. Great build.

My best time in this car is 1:41. we've looked at this video and see at least a second she can pick up. But that is very close to a perfect lap.

Super fun and very fast. Easy to get in trouble and spin. Lots of attention to maintenance and set up, It is a race car after all. The learning curve coming from a street car is a bit steep. I would not hesitate to do it again, but I’m still learning, and I probably always will.

Sorry abut the sound. I now have a Smartcam 2 with data and much better sound. I’m racing at Chuckwalla next weekend, hopefully I’ll have some good video to post.

@@davidpeck596 don’t get too hot out there. Last weekend at Podium Club was getting toasty. The plastic center caps melted out of my wheels.

@@scottoconnor3484 I always remove the plastic center caps when going on the track. Period. Yeah it’s stupid hot though.

Yes

It's so fun. Zero nannies, so I was keeping it rained in, out of 20 cars in the race there were about 11 ahead of me. Rita says the sound may be too much for her. She's tried ear plugs but it's still too much. This is starting to look like my car, and Rita gets the Porsche. It's a sad life for her.

It’s so fun! But racing is scary, I have a long way to go before I’ll consider myself a little bit good.

Glad you enjoyed it. Driving on the track is so fun, and then making things competitive takes things to a whole-nother level.

John was killing it a Chuckwalla, with all the high-speed sweepers he almost never had to hit the brakes.

As I was going through the mini Corkscrew my driver-side netting fell and I had to get it out of the way, I lost at least a second on that one. The blue BMW I kept up with until that point did a 1:59. I also got a little sketchy on turn 14. I have more work to do.

The AP Racing brakes do a good job of out braking most of the field. This track is trashed, it's covered with gritty sand/light gravel, and the slicks didn't work as well as they will on better surfaces. Probably the last time we will run it, It used to be a fun one.

My young friend Ethan is 18yo, he showed up at the track 2 years ago after I posted on Facebook that I needed help at the track. My wife and I have our own cars and we track them frequently, swapping out tires and fuelling the cars all day long. He's been a great help, so now I let him have a couple of sessions a day. He's coming along nicely, and as always he's a big help. My wife shows up at the 4:26 mark in the video. She crests the blind hill at 145mph.

A lot of people run stock radiator but is up to you. I was running a 8th gen SI on stock radiator and I was just fine, I did 8 track days and 3 or 4 in the summer. I recently upgraded to a koyorad radiator but because during other routine maintenance the shop broke the radiator plastic outlet. As long as you run fresh full synthetic oil you will be OK.

This is a new membership track, Rita's car was the first member car on the track on opening day last January. She is killing it. She's gone faster than this, giving people rides this day, and she had a passenger. She is also winning the ProAutoSports (local club) Time Trial series in the unlimited class. If things go well she will wrap up the win in December. I've created a monster, and I love it!!

Yes, Cobb

I'm flying by the seat of my pants, but I've had about 10 track days or so with this configuration. This seems to work the best for my car and my driving style. I'm all ears if there is a better way to go.

Your suggestion has a lot to unpack, I'll pull out a track map and read it through again. I often make it through that turn without any trouble. My idea is to brake as the car is pushed down into the uphill, but if my wheel is turned then things can go south quickly. Fortunately, the run-off is somewhat forgiving, but getting a consistent flow through that section is something I need to work on. Thanks for your comment, I will try to learn from it.

The data set up is the Garmin Catalyst.

I was just looking at the track map and looking at my video of this section, and I think you make a good point. I'll try this at a sub 100mph speed. I think I'm being a bit cautious about getting too close on the left due to the proximity of the wall.

That thing just slow ya down.

That was a fun weekend. My car is in for repairs, I kissed a tire wall at Bondurant/Radford on Thanksgiving weekend. I will be back!

Hey Bill, we have a guest pass with your name on it. You need to come out with us sometime soon. It's an hour and 5-minute drive.

@@davidpeck596 Oh wow! I'd love that! Text me when you are going next.

@@billreagle4129 Time is our biggest challenge. But we'll let you know. It's a fun track.

@@davidpeck596 Thank you! It looks like Rita and the GT3RS are becoming friends and that car does sound cool.

Yes, I should’ve said “Street Bikes”. In my other life I am also a Cyclist, the pedal kind. I should’ve clarified.

Oh hey Brian, take me a minute to remember who you were. Mr. Cayman T! Love that car. Yeah the RS is a blast. I kind of dinged up my Cayman. As in a small crash, I’ll have it back on track hopefully in January. This was our 8th track day with this car, it’s awesome!!
