The good ol guys from tundra racing gave me a good rear conversion. And I heard G's burn out while we were in the class room. Lol

 

[Torspd]

Pulling out on the track I accidentally lit up the rear tires and left a long double S line out of the grid.

I did not mean to do that at all and at first did not think it was me until the ass end started to fish all over the place. Got a good ass chewing for that one.

Inner child letting it rip! :laugh:

Looks like that ECU had some drift left in it G:adore:

I have a video up now but don't know how to imbed it on here.

Here's a few pics that I got from the on-site photographer... :rockon:

It does look like your truck leans less than mine. Looks like it corners much flatter.

Hell I didn't even notice the skid marks, hahaha

Here are a few pics from the track photographer.

You have much less body roll also. What suspension upgrades do you have?

Look at the slip angle on the tires, in the full 10 pixel photo it really shows. I have the DJM drop and the old twelve higher ppl springs up front and X11 sways.

 

[Gadget]

I am not going to do the DJM. Jeff was running the 12P kit. Going to take a good look at that one.

My instructor asked if I was going to consider getting a dedicated track CAR. I told him I already have and your sitting in it...

Maybe I will get a Malibu.

[SIK X]

Man that looks like a badass track. Will have to come do that with y'all one year. Nice pics and vids.

 

[Torspd]

Screw the Malibu. 12P drop with Coilovers. Want to get really wild, do a 4-link like Clifford. 4 corner coilovers. Woot!

Sik X, they have more events through out the year. Plenty of time left to make it happen.

I been told the same thing.

 

[easts1d3]

Yeh, I'm VERY happy with my XII Performance Track Ready kit. It truly delivers on the "track-ready" name.

That Malibu was crazy!!! For those of you who weren't there: There was a fairly new Chevy Malibu that ran in the Novice group with Gadget and me. We laughed when we saw him in the paddock Saturday AM, but then we were very surprised when that very same Malibu passed (I think) both of us at some point during the weekend. I never did get to ask the owner what kind of mods he has done to it. A quick look at it only revealed the driver's seat replaced with a racing seat. So, I'd call it a pretty sweet sleeper. :top:

Edit: Here's a video that Malibu guy posted on YouTube yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nXJElYKQ78

Speaking of seats, those damn FR-S seats make me want to do a seat swap so I'll stay more planted in the cockpit next time. You can see in a couple of my videos taken from inside the cab how much my instructor and I are shifting around in the turns. Hang on to something!!!!! :biggrin:

 

[Gadget]

I let that Malibu by just so I could run him back down. I was very surprised that it was kind of hard to keep up with him. I had a Malibu like that as a company car a few years ago and it totally sucked. That car is not stock at all.

Need to check with 1GRRacer about that gizmo for the air bags so we can swap in good seats. My left knee is sore from pressing it into the door trying to hang on.

I rolled up towells and jammed them between my leg and the door and my leg and the center console. Factory seats are hot garbage lol.
