why is everything such a mystery? my expansion tank and cap took a dump and i couldn't repair it as didn't bring a spare and susan's clutch burnt out she managed to get a 2:14 on street tires, suspention work and a tune. (no engine upgrades) and I got a 2:10 on 250whp, old hoosiers i had laying around on their last limp leg and first time being on the track. time to bring it back to my old power set up and get new r-comps and try again. so now you guys can continue on bashing on our cars or whatever you manage to do to ruin this forum.

p.s. feel free to comment on my spelling and punctuation i really don't care

 

Well said. You guys should see Susan and Danny run at SOW, maybe then you guys will realize what the cars are capeable of doing with the right driver and right performance mods. I am sure Danny can do well better then 2:10 and Susan won't be far behind.

I ran a 1:31 at SOW with crappy street tires. Can anybody guess what I would do with r-comps ? So becides a few of us with RMW goodies, I have not seen anybody else tearing up the track like we do.

 

Congrats on the time Danny at least you got a baseline to imrove upon next time.

Congrats to Susan on getting out there and mixing it with the boyz

Are you both doing the one in May?

Couldn't you off swopped header tanks with Susan so you could off qualified for Sunday, I presume the header tank went on the Sat

Have you got any video footage ?

 

I Didnt want to risk ruining her weekend and we tryed swaping tanks after her clutch issue but my car wasn't teched and I wasn't at the drivers meeting
I didn't get footage as my gopro is acting up

I'm planning on going to buttonwillow more often it's amazing prolly will run in may I know I won't go to sow anytime soon buttonwillow is far superior as a track and the facilities and service available

 

Cant wait to get back out there again, I must admit when I went to the start line at Pomona and looked down the famous track I had read about for the last 30yrs, I realised that it was just a bit of 1320ft tarmac like we got in the UK.

But I will make an effort to go around some of these road courses when I'm next out there, you can relate to the videos a lot more then if you've experienced it yourself (allthough I'm a crap driver)

 

I had a feeling you'd love it up there Danny!

And the best part for me is... they'll let the convertible on the track, unlike SOW!

Sorry to hear you and Susan ran into problems... :(

 

Do they have tracks like that out here in the southwest?
If so where and how much to run?

 

Danny I don't think anyone in this forum was bashing your cars they just wanted to see what happened so if a cam is to be sent to someone , who the proper person would be . As there were five cars that pulled out for various reasons its not like your cars were the only ones with issues. As for spelling mine is pretty bad at times as well.

Sorry to hear your expansion tank broke and that Susan's clutch went (time for an LSD ). Since I left on Friday I didn't know what happened. I was sure that you were going to improve on your times Sat/Sun as you were still learning the track. Look forward to seeing you out there in the future

 

Sorry to hear about your expansion tank cap, i struggled with mine for a while... are you using stock? I ended up changing to an aftermarket from
Chris at Detroit Tuned... Give him a ring, im sure he can fab up what you need

Sorry for the dirty picture... havent washed since the drive back from AMVIV

heres some pics of the tank thats going in Kals car... a little different sizing and modified for a different location

 

The main reason it's shaped like that is because Kal Is the euroricer.. that my friend is a chinese food box!

 

 

lol. gold.

 

This a great tank at a reasonable price:

I purchased a Canton Racing expansion tank several years ago, but installation and fit were serious problems. Based on my experience, the folks at Canton modified the design of the tank, and, voila, the new tank fit properly---

I am most pleased with this radiator expansion tank, especially since I had been running on my 3d factory unit! Even though it does not have an external visual aid or indicator of fluid level, the periodic checking of the fluid level has not been a problem. The quality of the Canton tank is most impressive, and I highly recommend the product... [Disclaimer: I do not work for or represent Canton Racing].

Cheers,

 

Admit it you are a Canton fanboi Nice to see you around Bob. The Canton is a nice piece and I have had good results with the Forge Motorsports unit as well.

Wow Danny looks like you got your money's worth , will you be able to knock off 10 secs next time you're there

And here's //MZero's times, it would of been close race between you two on your 2nd to 5th laps nice consistancy

http://www.speedventures.com/results...id=-2147094946

 

Do they give you all your different sector times on the day, so you can add all your best times and come up with your ideal lap?

 

I think half of those are Susan's times.

 

Ah right they had two cars under the same transponder number ?

 

well, I took 8 seconds off mine at SOW on the next time out at the track

you have to remember that it was his first time ever on the track


Rome wasn't built in a day..... and neither was Enlgand

 

Pics are up!!!

Sure Paul, he just needs one of your $500 nitrous kit. Isn't that your answer for everything.

Longboard

 

Thanks, but that was actually pretty far from consistent for me. Reason being is I was consistently getting held up by slower drivers In Blue 2 I didn't have one single clean lap, in Blue 3 I think I had 1 or 2 fairly clean laps...as shown by the 2:12.0, Blue 4 was my best...all the 2:20+ laps are cool down laps.

And no, none of Danny's times are Susan's.

BTW, check out this pic
