AMS sponsored T2 Evo at Pocono

The first of the double at Pocono was a great race. I was out-qualified by just over 2/100ths of a second by Bill Baten-Camaro (who won the Sprints and Sportscar mag chose as the Runoffs favorite. I have to admit I dont like being walked down on the straights by an F body but we have been given 60hp of restrictor so what are you going to do. So we ended up having a great race with several lead chhanges where I ended up in front to take the checker but 1.1 seconds. I was fortunate to also set the track record that was previously held by Baten. Thanks to AMS for the retune giving me great power under the curve so I could win the acceleration battle, TRE for the best transmission you can get and Bryan from JRZ for a great suspension and set up!

Wow, getting walked down the straights and someone being able to 'race' for the victory sounds pretty impressive. Well done! Post up some vid if ya got it.

Thanks Martin for they great support. I now have 20k on the car on the original motor. And when I say original, I mean the only thing I have changed in 4 years of racing is the air filter and spark plugs!!

Oh and if anyone wants some great track tires, the SCCA took away my 275 so I need to sell my lightly used ones. If interested let me know, I posted in classified section.
