Re: iRacing Spec5 World Tour
At VIR I did not have a great qualifying effort again, and even though I spent extra time prepping I did not get a significant pace improvement. With 22 cars on the grid I started P20. There was melee lap 1 turn 1 and I attempted to go around in the grass. It didnt save me any time but I tagged the ...

Re: cheap car racing
Thanks. I only learned I would be doing this at noon that day. Fred from Nelson Ledges was asked and he said he was not available then suggested me. It was enough time to shake off the rust on some of the details. Obviously the team, the car and Nelson Ledges are subjects I’m quite familiar with so ...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45
Finish cleaning up the interior floor – the car was gross with spilled soda, and food/trash everywhere. Removed the dash, steering column, gas pedal, brake pedal, and ebrake assembly. Trimmed off part of the firewall insulation on the inside as I want to see what is bent. The hole in the firewall fo...

Up tonight is VIR: https://www.youtube.com/live/i7YJWngwP-A?si=tiHMMzCpCDILpmmm Race 6 summary: Sonoma is a track I like, though I qualified .5 slower than I practiced, netting P21 starting position. About 5 laps in I got punted in T11 which didn't ruin the car but it put me back to dead last, thoug...

I lost some time in the early going as I was dodging spinning cars, then I got stuck in a pack with 2 guys who were not fast but fast enough to use the draft to get ahe...

Re: 2017 Dodge Challenger SXT - Mostmint #45
Not much activity the past couple weeks. The main progress is acquiring a frame machine. Started doing research on this machine. It appears to be a very early version, and it is missing chain, and the cross brace tube. IMG_0330.JPG IMG_0286.JPG I now understand the basics of what chain to get, I hav...

Re: Porsche 944 Megasquirt conversion

If that fails that entire bracket needs redesigned. If you look closely there is a mark just at left of photo. If that bracket went strai...
