I was getting fuel starve at anything less than half a tank on the 1.7CCW until I installed the fuel flapper valve, now I only get it if I'm below a quarter of a tank. I'm instructing at the next APEX event on June 23, there is an ECR open trackday the same day, both are filling fast. |

For those of us who race at MSR, and love BBQ on the Brazos, this is unfortunate news: http://dallas.culturemap.com/news/re...resson-closed/. Went by there today as I was driving through Cresson and it was closed. Sign on the door said Rooster’s BBQ coming soon. Good news is the owners of Brazos say they’ll still work out of their trailer at various locations and events until they find a new location in the Cresson/Granbury area. Hope they get back up and running soon!

I still have not tried this BBQ place. I should really make it a task to do that when they either get back up or are at a track day in cresson.

We had a great 86 turnout at last Saturday's SCCA Time Trials on the 1.3 at MSR Cresson with 7 out of 36 cars in the timed sessions being twins!
All 5 of the Street Touring 1 competitors were in twins and with only a 4s gap from first to fifth the competition was pretty tight, especially if you take out my 2s lead on the class to bring the remaining 4 competitors down to a 2s delta. Everyone seems to be getting faster and it won't be long until my temporary cushion is yanked away. I managed a 1:09.0 is the first session and couldn't beat it, when I made my videos though I found out that when I set the start/finish in line with the SCCA trailer (where I thought the timing loop was) my lap times dropped a quarter second which nearly matches my personal best on the 1.3. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0EqekP3A38&t=399s[/ame] Sneegle managed 2nd, but I'm sure he'll pick up time since this was his first trip to the 1.3 (he was pretty damn fast for a first attempt). I made the strategic mistake of giving both David and Taylor rides to help show them the lines, but Taylor had my back by driving off course and ending the last timed session early to keep David from getting any closer to me (there ended up being only about a half a second between David and Taylor, but David managed to take the win despite Taylor's best efforts). You can watch David and I chase Terry Fair in his FRS with 315's! Without David in the car I was consistently a full second faster than Terry, but with the extra ballast we were a little slower. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gog0Sze5sKQ[/ame] All in all it was another fantastic event,If you haven't been out to an SCCA Time Trial, you are missing out. |

I had a blast at the Track Night in America yesterday on the 1.7CCW at MSR Cresson. I met a couple of new 86 drivers (two who worked at Park Place Porsche) but I don't think they're on here.
The advanced group had open passing with pointbys and it was interesting passing in the corners. An S2k dropped oil at the end or rattlesnake/beginning of wagon wheel which made me slide off track at the end of the first session (I managed to avoid the AMG Mercedes and S2k, but it was a tense few seconds). I managed a 1:25.6 in the second session and like three laps of 1:25.7 in the third session while chasing a C6 Z06. I had 2 Corvette drivers and a Camaro driver come over to check out my supercharger only to be disappointed that I was NA and on street tires. |

Thanks! I'm prepped for STX autocross, so I've got coilovers (Ohlins R&T SUSMI20) swaybars & endlinks, AP Sprint Kit, Headers (JDL UEL Catless), over and downpipes, but stock mufflers and a custom dyno tune. I've also got a 2.25lb Shorai battery and a Mishimoto oil cooler.
I was running 255/40-17 Hankook RS4's on 17x9 rims (Ambits, which were cheap but are a little on the heavy side). I'm currently using Ferodo DS1.11 pads in the front and GLoc R10's in the back. |
