| One of many days I spend at the track. |

Maximum Grip... Just out of a tight left turn and hard back
right.
This is the max amount of body roll and it ain't much. |

heads HUGE Intercooler runs over 18 pounds of boost) 450 Horse Power this car is Real
Fast.

2 nice looking rear ends??? or Battle of the
Bulge.
2 straps to hold the lexan rear window in and a good shot of those 13" wide Goodyear
sports car specials.
I hate these tail lights on my car but its what I have.
The 930 runs 14" wide tires but I'm not jealous 14" will fit on mine but
makes the car understeer.
I do have a little wing envy. |

Where do I race, you ask? |
|
Cabanass Air Field, Corpus Christi Texas.
Turn 1, pretty fast for me, I only brake a little and the rear end try's to come out from
under ya (it will if your still on the brakes). Turn 1 to 2 top speed around 80 (4th gear
around 4500 rpm). Turn 2 smooth right hard on the gas early Boost inflicted oversteer near
the end.
Turn 3 is a beautiful left hand sweeper with a pavement transition in the last part of it.
Where the map has 3A is where my friend wrecked his Supra Turbo.
Hard on the brakes, turn 4 is my favorite place to go off course.
Turn 5 is the most important turn on the whole track. It leads to the longest straight
away, like 2 it's boost over-steer.
Out of turn 5, coming to turn 6, it's right foot to the floor all the way to turn 7 (if ya
got the guts)...I spun out the 930 (#22) at 120 MPH coming out of 6. In my car its 5th
gear around 4500 RPM.
Hard on the brakes for 7. turns 7 through 13 is where I can run with the big dogs the
13" tires and SVO disk bakes do a great job against ANYTHING.
Next race is March 7&8th contact me for details. |

Coming into turn 3, a good friend of mine was following me he
went
off course on the outside of the turn then over-corrected and
skidded for a very long ways prior to hitting a barricade. Thank God
he was only shook up and very sore. Car was totaled. He was able
to keep up on the straight between 2&3 (Supra Turbo running 10
pounds of boost and some other engine work) but not in the
corners. |
