im very interested to see all you guys run LRP.

my best is a 1:04.5 (on cycled out rs3's), jordan ran a 59.x on street tires with no front splitter like 2 years ago

 

so i guess my target for LRP is :55 with A6

i ran 1:00 in spec miata, so 5 seconds in an evo is reasonable. iracing counts right?

 

i run minute flat on iracing too LOL.

wait till you get there and try and figure it out...ive told you before the curbs are not correct on iracing

 

Yeah, should be interesting. I have only driven it on iRacing, but I like the course layout and can't wait to give it a shot IRL. It's been on my bucket list for years ever since I saw a Grand Am race there.

 

Been a super busy week so I didn't get around to posting the results of the NASA NE event at LRP. I had a long 7+ hour tow up there, and the first day was in the rain, but even limping in the rain on A6s (super sketchy) I managed a 1:00.1 for 1st in TT2. The second day was gorgeous and was able to better my time significantly to a 58.4. I had more in the car, but I didn't run my last two sessions as one of my wheel studs snapped and lodged in the spacer ending my weekend. I broke the track record, but then lost it on the session I snapped my wheel stud to a tube frame RX-7 who dropped into the 57s.

I had a great time at the track, the elevation changes were super fun, and I hope to come back there sometime and run in the 57s which shouldn't be hard.

Here's some video of my last session with the 58.4:
Next weekend I'll be back at NJMP Lightning hoping to substantially improve on my time there. When I ran there for the first time earlier this year I not only hadn't been on track in 10 months, I hadn't even driven a manual car for 10 months, so I was slow to get my bearings, and think I can improve a lot. I will also be running AiM Solo for the first time which I'm excited about.

 

Jake Namer?

 

Yup. I was beating him early in the day, but he pulled ahead and re-set the record on the last session I was able to run.

 

I'm building my Evo IX for timeattack too. Decided to use Ferrea valves/springs/retainers, but, as i can see from Ferrea official web-site they have no beehive valve springs for Evo IX, just for old 4G63 up to 1999. Please, let me know, which Ferrea beehive springs used in your engine.

 

I'll do a full 2014 retrospective later, but happy to announce after this weekend I am the 2014 NASA NE TT2 Champion. I had a great finale event at NJMP Thunderbolt with some fantastic close racing, and ended the season with the car driving better than ever and tucked away at the shop already getting ready for off season plans.

 

Congrats brother!

 

Thanks man! Really appreciate you following my progress. I got some awesome pictures from the last event I posted on Facebook, but I'll post a few of the best ones over here.

The aero, suspension, and ACD tune changes on the car were mega. I dropped nearly a full second on Thunderbolt from earlier this year, while driving worse in bad traffic. I have to give a shout-out to the English Racing guys, the ACD tune is awesome. The car rotates on throttle like crazy now. I'm also thrilled with the new custom splitter, fast-release bumper design Agile Auto made before Watkins.
