Road Atlanta weekend

thomasmoran1 · 05-26-2003, 09:18 PM

Well, we had the car out for the first time this year and it ran great. Everything held together and we were on track for over 4 hours. At the end of the second day I was able to do a 1:40:20 and I'm trying to figure out if that would be a competitive time in AIX. We plan on doing a couple of other things to the car over the next couple of weeks that should get us down to around 1:38:00 (I hope). Anyway me and my Dad are talking about running 1 or 2 AI races this year and are trying to figure out were we stand.

PS

I'm going to post a link to the video of my fastest lap and if anyone has any pointers I would welcome the feedback.

We were last minute as to if we were going to make it or not so we didn't make any big plans. Scott list came down and that was cool but his car had trouble and he was unable to run. John, are you going to the AI race at gingerman? Steve how are the shocks working out?

Here is the link to the video.

You will need quicktime 6 to view it because it is a MPEG4. You can download it here.

If I remember right, that beats my time at RA. I think I had a quick time of 1:41 or something like that. And considering I was running 1:50 at CMP which is what the AI guys run, I would think that puts you very competitive in the AI/AIX crowd.

Very COOL Thomas. That's the exact line I take throughout... well, except for turn 12. I like to get a little closer to the inside wall down the front straight.

(that's a joke for those that don't know... the yellow paint on that wall is mine.)

Man, I miss Road Atlanta!!!

Hey Thomas - nice looking ride. It looks like a real screamer.

What do you have done to it motor wise? I know you've taken it to SHM, but I'm curious what you've got under the bonnet.

1:40's at RA is pretty smokin. I'm not sure what Tone runs there but I want to say 1:38's. I'm about 1-1.5 seconds off his times at most tracks so if you're not over 9.5:1, you might want to come tango in AI!!
