Hey CBRE....parked next to your car today at Wexford car cruise...thought I might run into you...but when I got back to my car...you were gone.

I really like the carbon fiber wing you have on the back...I might have to consider that once I start working on making the outside of my car look better...

Your car looked great, sorry I missed you. That wing drops 4.5#'s and picks up some aero, Ill sell it too you cheap as im upgrading to a Du-luck lipped CF trunk painted to body color to loose a hair more weight and reduce drag a bit more.

Anyone coming out to the Flat Out Day at BR on Sunday? Looks to be decent weather (if we can dodge a few showers here and there!)

With a few tweeks and a bit more power and now knowing the hill a little, i think i could take quite a bit of time off if they ever do this again.

Jeremy...holy crap! Awesome video and driving. I don't think I'd ever have the nuts to do that. Those last few minutes when you are out of the woods and onto the dirt...Jesus. Just sick.


On a slightly less extreme note, I finally accomplished something I've been wanting to do for some time...10s!

Currently the quickest car on a stock motor and turbo in 2011 (2nd overall for a stock turbo). Less than a 10th away from the record. If I don't pull it off at PRP (probably not gonna happen), then I'm gonna try for it at MIR during the Import vs Domestic shootout in November. Just need to make my 85k mile motor last until then.

Here's some vids:

Dave...congrats. I see you took off the wing....you must have been talking with Curt...the man knows how to shave off pounds that is for sure....

you go on a diet too?

If you really want to stick on the ground...try http://summitmotorsportspark.com/ (Norwalk).

Although 1.4's is pretty damn good

If you break anything...short ride to Buschur

Thanks Jim. Everything I have done to the car and taken out is here .

I took the wing off mainly because of drag (it also weights 7lbs). With wing on, I was having difficulty getting the car to trap 120. Since removing it I have not trapped less than 121mph.

I would love to test out Norwalk at some point. It still has a higher elevation than I would prefer though...especially if I'm going to try to break a record.
