Are you guys sponsoring, or do you have any ECU flashes or XEDE's in the OTC? Any Staged (1 or 1+) cars?

-CJ

 

stay tuned

 

As of right now, no, we don't have a car entered in, or ready for OTC. But ask us again on Sunday which is the first racing day of the series.

If you can't do things last minute, why do them at all?

So, I hear you had problems with the Crank Angle Sensor or something... What ever came of that? Did it get fixed? Is the car up and running?

 

the first and second place evos are DYNOFLASHED by AL, but hope to see some EXEDE evos there as well, keep up the good work Shiv.....

 

Shiv's car is being trailered and in a different class altogether, U3. The 2 Dynoflashed cars that are leading are in another class, T3. We'll all know Thurs. at the latest how everyone faired.

 

cool........

 

Yeah, they are in another class and 3-5 seconds off our pace on every lap at every track.

Al made some reference to some OTC car blowing up. He was vauge, and I had to exit the thread, because the thread author got pissed because we were talking about reflash competition in his Tehas dyno thread. Meh, well. Keep smokin' their doors off.

 

Wayne Melo's EVO spun a rod bearing at Las Vegas on Sunday. Robi ran off the track and went nose first into a fence the day before yesterday at Vegas. Wong's EVO rolled today at thunderhill really badly. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Us? We had to replace a crank angle sensor in the parking lot of a Chevron just outside Willow Springs. It got damaged during the third lap at Vegas, completely disabling the car. Still managed a 2:01 though which is still pretty good Today at T-hilll, our clutch and brakes stopped working due to some master cylinder problems that we are trying to fix right now. Paul still managed to run a 2.04 though And yes, he was wearing my Prada loafers when he did it (his shoes and suit were locked in the RV).

Update: Looks like the snap ring on the clutch broke, keeping the pressure plate fully engaged. We don't have any replacements in stock. So, it looks like we'll have to bow out of Sears Pt which basically puts us out of the running.

I'll be looking into upgraded snap rings tomorrow so that we have something a bit more reliable in time for One Lap of America (the really big deal) next week. 6000 miles in one week, a track per day, with no support vehicles

That sucks you can't make Sears Point but at least nothing major broke. How was the car running up until the broking snap ring?

Hope you guys do good in the One Lap of America.

 

The car was and is still running fine. Paul just had to slow down his shifting so the could go clutchless. Motor-wise, the car is a trooper. Consistent power, lap after lap. The drivetrain issue, however, needs to be solved before One Lap. I'd rather not be stranded in Kansas with a disabled EVO.

You are not driving and who's Paul?

 

Wong rolled? Holy Hannah, dude! I'm glad everyone is okay.

Sucks about the snap ring. I'm glad all is well. One Lap will be a freaking blast, I'd bet. A guy from our SCCA chapter competed last year in a 350Z and did pretty well. He got FTD on one of the events, which is pretty impressive considering he had a mostly stock VQ35 facing all the competition out there. Can't wait to hear about the One Lap experiences.

You guys be safe!!
