We have some pretty decent in-car footage, but my laptop died with all my editing software on it, so I'm relegated to taking short videos with out point and shoot.

Thumbs up

sweet man, we made it to donaldsonville around 8:30PM. Marshall and myself were the only two that made the trip. We are hitting up the lap day tomorrow and then watch you ballers come through on Tuesday. Marshall said he offered you two (Leh & Donnie) part of our hotel room Look forward to meeting you two(and everyone for that matter), seeing the car(s), and the skills

Luckily, my parents house is pretty close to the track, so finally we'll be getting a comfy bed, healthy meal, and showers with hot water.


Also, how could I forget, thanks to all those EvoMr's that came out today to check everything out and wish us luck! Hopefully within the next couple years we'll have the Evo out for you to cheer on, but until then, thanks for any and all support!

Wow, just went outside of my hotel room and Tony pulled up in the brand new Skyline and I almost pissed myself. A BMW 335i and M5 followed him in. I am getting all antsy in my pantsy. Can't wait for tomorrow it's going to be sick!!!

Finally got my first road course session behind the wheel of the SRT4 at TWS today (did the wet skidpad earlier in the week). Car was an absolute handful in the rain but managed a 6th overall, 1st in class for the morning session, and still waiting results on the afternoon, but it felt good.

Leh was rocking out again as usual, and Jon, sans wipers in the GTP, had a rough day seeing while running through all of the puddles, not to mention seems to be down on power now.


Blog entry is up (http://trackpedia.com/forums/showthr...1126#post41126) , doing pictures now but don't have that many today due to the rain and having to drive.

lots of guys showing up here at the hotel, looking forward to tomorrow meeting some people and seeing those cars bust ***. watch turn one it can be tricky. it is more of a kink than a turn and you can carry a lot of speed. just make sure your accessory belt doesn't snap right in the turn like it did on me and the guy i was riding with today hahah not good lol

It's bolt on, headers, exhaust, k&n filter. But bolt on for that car means like 650 hp.

edit: I take that back, on viper alley, the only place hennessey isnt banned, he claims the car is making 678 hp.

big power... but we all know that...

the cool thing is it has Traction Control. Electronic Dif.. steering angle and throttle position all tied into its ECU..... making some trick **** happen..... the car is set up very well...

and the driver is one of Dodges main driver guys....

a big effort... and the speed shows.. its stupid fast....




we got toasted today... we thought we had power problems.. and turns out we do... bigtime....

we ran 13.2 at 105..... and the 996 gt3 we trying to stay infront of ran a 12.5 at 114...

we were only showing 110 before light braking into turn 1... and most the cars we are running with were showing 130s....


we will just do what we can with what we got...
