Busta Nut Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hey Busta- do you recall what you where hitting for top speeds out there? curious as I plan on building my 4.44 No idea...... ........no tach....no speedo.... ....yet. If I had to guess......I'd say between 90-100 on the long straight......... ......if I came out of the last turn properly..... Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Session 5..... Cold wet track due to lack of use..... 20-30 minutes before any car got on the track.....started to rain....... Torquey 2.2 and no rear suspension.........(this is why I've always felt it was a little sketch) .....and I crossed the damn line again.... :lol: ....yet they still never said shit..... ...after I took out all the boring stuff.... (me limping around the track becuz I had "mud in the tire"...... .......entering the paddock before seeing the steward..... ............washing the mud off me shit..... ...............and getting the lecture from the steward...... ....................then...hesitating the first lap back because my rear suspension sucks a dirty whores ass...) 6 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I love the sound of the side drafts. Good job guys some day some day.. 2 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I wonder how a 521 with airbags would do. 2 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 That looks like a ton of fun. What did it cost to run for the day in the beginner class? Local track days here are ridiculously expensive. I checked the web site for the club you raced with and all the prices were blank. 1 Quote Link to comment

I believe prices at Sonoma and Laguna Seca are quite a bit moar. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 ^^^ wow! That is a bargain! Tracks around here like the Ridge and SIR want 600-750 for a track day and beginners must be in racing school last I checked. Quote Link to comment

Busta Nut Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Getting her dirty eh????? Nice spin- How'd it feel? My car actually felt terrible around the track........I was hesitating every corner...... ........and as you saw......I had good reason...... My rear tires did not want to stay put.....I still have those stupid air shocks back there....... .........one reason why I'm never up front on the fun runs......the rear just felt scary to me..... ...and with all the added torque from this engine......the tires just aren't grippy in the cold wet weather........ That turn should be a fairly high speed turn.....and you can hear it in the video...... .....all I did was gradually get on the gas.....didn't even punch it......and the rear came right out..... Rear settup coming soon......I'll try to get'er done by Laguna Seca..... ........I F'n love that track......never drove it.......but been there many times........ 2 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Plus it sprinkled a bit at the beginning of session 5. Even I got sideways a couple times on the 1st lap with my 1.6. Lol. 2 Quote Link to comment
