I am available

I really wish this event was not on the same weekend as the PCA club race at CA> Speedway and the same weekend as my Grand-Am race

Evan,


Grant is 6'4-5 and 275. You wouldn't be able to see over the dash!!



B

Have you seen how low the seat is on the 993? I can't see jack in it either and am staring at the steering wheel rim. Same deal with the 914, I removed the dash top because it was in the way of my line of sight. I understand some people feel that you need to be able to see the front of the car but I have not found it to be a problem. But ya, Carl V. would probably be a better choice, Boxster skills, and height wise.

Brad, the next weekend is the Pro Solo at El Toro. Certainly better for spectating, ;)

pb

ProSolo is where they create 2 mirror image courses next to each other. They then start cars 2 at a time using a drag tree. You end up getting 6 runs on each half by the end, 12 overall, by sunday lunch. They add your fastest time on each course together to get your full time.

These videos from the Wendover Pro should make it much clearer:

It's wise to know your competition.

Where exactly did you see heavy fiberglass Grant? The Tonuea cover is only 6lbs.

As for the noise requirements, I have systems in the works for both the intake and the exhaust. The plan is in motion.

-Britain

pb

Tonueas do tend to be heavy.

Tonneaus OTOH...

pb

Really looking forward to having a class down in SD this year. All German FP!

Funny thing is there are actually 3 FP cars in SD, an RX7 and a couple 240's. Hoping they will show up too.

And hey, watch that sedan crap.. it's a coupe! Hahaha

pb

It's a stock 2.8 with cams. Engine is the last thing that will be worked on ;). If we can get Mark from Texas to bring his EVO then we'll be out HP'd.

pb

There will be at least 1 more as my co-driver hasn't yet signed up.

-Britain

pb

I never said it was a secret, he just hasn't signed up yet. It is the owner of FatCatMotorsports, he did the revalve on my shocks. He normally runs an E-stock Miata and used to run a prepared car. Not looking for him to be really fast, just to warm the tires.

-Britain

pb

We will see how it goes but I just want to make it clear that I am not expecting this outcome.

pb

They'll need to install restrictors.

pb

One can change classes at the event. We've done it to find competition.....oh, and the contingency awards.

We'd certainly be sad to see you guys go. 6 drivers is a decent class for prepared at a national tour. We had to run XP last year because the locals never want to show up in FP.

For the Hoosier Contingency:

There must be a minimum of three cars in the class to earn first place awards
and a minimum of five cars in the class to earn second place awards.


-Britain

My co-driver has yet to sign-up.

-Britain

As has mine.

Don't forget, from what I've heard Goodyear is also offering contingency this year, you just have to sign up for it through Jeff Keisel.

They also usually have FP and XP running around the same time so times would be comparable if times are all that you're looking for VS the sti.

Yea, except that I will have 300lbs of ballast for FP.

-Britain

pb

7 cars if you include both my codriver and Aaron's.

There was an tangerine FP 914 running at the San Diego event this last weekend. Don't know who it was. Wish we could get the local folks to run the Tour and Pro with us.

Well we'll be happy to have ya man, come grab a beer for the course walk on friday night. Hooiser Tom called yesterday to say that he's been getting calls from our competitors about how fast we are, so there's certainly someone out there callin around. Either way, you never know who'll be in front till the last run is done.

Grant,

I'm back from being out of town.. (it was literally a disaster area that I came back from.. flooding..trees falling..fires..you name it)

I arrived last night back into SoCal.
