I will say that Collin made a HUGE jump from Saturday to Sunday. If he didn't hit that coolant spill or blow an intercooler line he would have been right on my butt all dang day!


oh snap! Me too!

-same ferrari
- Mr. Hill's GT3 RS (997)
- Mr. Khumes GT3 (996)

oh and lets not even count the yellow / green covered Cup race car, that thing cheats!!

Yeah, the phantom coolant spill was a kick in the *****...and that damn hose blowing off at the throttle body does put a damper in it, but I felt a hella lot better on Sunday!

here's what I have: http://www.soloracer.com/rallye4.html

I actually bought the combo: http://www.soloracer.com/schrothpackage.html

And here's some install instructions for an VIII/IX: http://www.evolvedperformance.com/Ev...ess_Belts.html

ETA: on the X I didn't need to take the belts apart to fit them through the holes (woot!)

You guys look great out there this weekend! I pretty much only took pictures of the Evo guys and I've got them on the laptop but was too tired to get them posted Saturday or Sunday night. I'll try and get a few up tonight. They are taken through the glass up in the tower, so there is a little bit of glare, but they should be ok.

Glad to hear Collin didn't have too big of an issue, I was afraid something pretty serious had happened when he was stopped on track on Sunday. I'm really glad that S2000 didn't spin off the same direction as he did on Saturday and hit him during that coolant spill as well, that could have been terrible!

Tim: What mph are you seeing on the front straight when going CCW? Its been so long ago since I've been out there going CW that I don't really remember what my speeds were, but I want to say they were somewhere in the upper 90's to right at 100mph. I'm guessing going CCW though they are significantly faster since you can carry much more speed through Big Bend to the front straight than Rattlesnake to the front straight. Just curious.

I really want to try and run in February at MSR, but it'll all depend on whenever I get my damn daily driver on the road. It'll be a whole new world to actually drive the track with the new set up I make roughly 100 whp more than I did last time I did a TDE event, and no more stock suspension either

Glad you guys had fun. I was going to go out Sunday and see who all came out but I was busy working on my car... Can't wait for 2009, hopefully I can get to a few TDE events.
