Jan told me to just not drink, get up early and head to the track. Telling an Irish guy not to drink is just silly. And I'm going with a buddy who loves to drink. We are going to have fun. I will be sleeping in on Sunday morning.

Have fun and keep it safe. I will be at the next track day.

Are you guys going to tune with GIAC or use something like Hydra EMS? Also I saw that AEM makes an EMS unit, would this work?

Easy there John Force. If I had an extra ticket it would be Jans and I know for sure he would blow off anything to go the UFC fight. He is a bigger fan then myself.

Thanks for making it worse for me. I already had to worm out of going with the wife, daughter and her five friends to the local amusement park on Saturday. The wife has been giving the guilt trip all week. Jan hasn't giving me to much sh%$. I think because he wishes he was going.

Oh ya, the UFC is mixed martial arts. It's not a game!! You should know this they just had a huge fight in London two weeks ago.

I scored a ticket for Jan to UFC so he might be a little shaky on Sunday morning.

I was at the track with Jan and the MININUTS. I can tell you I personally watched him catch and pass, then pull away from some Evos and STI's as well as a Ariel Atom! He was throwing down some decent lap times and the car performed flawlessly. And just to clarify I have no dog in this fight.

Sorry for the questions but;

How much horsepower does it take to go 1.30

What spec was both cars??

Which driver is the better driver??

Did you record any track data g-forces etc etc??


Defintley sounded like you had a load of fun, more fun than me highs and lows of drag racing

from what the Redline instructor said, about 250whp He also said, "in a Mini?"

What spec was both cars??
Danny's car and
"top secret RMW"

Which driver is the better driver??
Danny

With the car now faster than I can drive it, I need to move up to the top driving class so I can get all out of the car. Too much traffic driving that fast in the intermediate class. I catch the groups too fast and it actually slows me down btw... my car wasn't even tuned yet

Wow great to hear. So I was reading an older article out of eurotuner and saw that you once had a turbo only set up which ran at ~475whp? So my question is how does this compare to that set up and would you be able to run in the same class? Thanks, Chris.

that article was written without my permission
it makes more hp than that and it is a drag ONLY car.

Danny and I joked about taking that car and putting the sway bars back on it, putting a smaller turbo on it and bring it to the road course.

That may be an option down the road

I am sorry to hear that it was written with out your permission. That would be pretty cool to see how it does on the road course though.
