Server will be up later today. Glad to help LOL Hopefully we can talk Tony into joining the series and get the Mustang back in the fight. My internet is wacked right now,so hopefully I can get on and do some testing soon. I like the track,it has a nice flow. The last series of turns before the front straight is tricky and hard to find a quick way through. Jim |

If I wasn't working this screwed up work schedule, I'd be there in the Mustang.  |

That was quick, you had me worried. I have a hard enough time with these cars let alone on wet. I couldn't finish one lap without crashing. LOL If anyone wants to try get together and run a few laps let me know and I will try and get on. Now that my internet is up and consistent, I should be good. I have Friday morning off because I close and Sat am as well. Just let me know. (Tony this is your chance) LOL. Jim

Pick a time Fri morning and I'll try to be there. I get home from work around 7AM PDT...more or less. I'll run a few laps with you.
I should be back to normal hours in November.

David, nice time in the Firebird, you've got that thing figured out. The problem I am going to have is I have to really watch my rpms. I tried to run 3 races to see how the car handled in traffic and blew the motor twice. LOL I had to turn off the virtual tach and watch the one on the dash to monitor redline. Going to have to be very careful not to get excited in the race and over rev too much. The Challenger is an altogether different beast than the Camaro. Jim

Thanks! That will not be my race pace though. I was revving the snot out of that car to achieve that time. I think if I tried 20 minutes like that I would have a blown engine on my hands as well.
