Hey Moody by your in car vid how long did it take for a lap in your hotrod.Did you check that out yet?Same ? to Levent if you had in car as well.
My wife only got me 2 full laps recorded and the first lap before I went off was 1.11:7-1.12.2 my wife moved sideways about 15-20ft. so I have a hard time trying to place the start/finish spot.She stayed still while recording my 4-5th lap and I clocked right at 1.09.93.That was my first session so I know I dropped some time by the end of the day but I have no idea how much.

The only video I took was in the rain. So times are meaningless. Also, the coarse was set up so that horsepower would not be a factor. I think Chris timed my last laps at 1.09 - same as yours. Like I said - you and Levent looked the fastest out there. Now - put my car at Roebling or Road Atlanta, and you will see what some hp can do for you!

More so in RoadA's case. Roebling is a momentum track. RoadA is a mix of both. My buddies in an 89hp CRX ITB car can drive Road A in under 1:50. My times in my car with R-compounds are around 1:55. Then again, they don't brake for turn 1.

And coming out of the last turn at Roebling shows you what a balanced car can do.

I think that Jeremy actually has some real potential to become a great driver, once someone just shows him a few things. For not driving at an instructed coarse, he got alot of the basics down already.

Jeremy - Just remember if you improve you hp to improve your braking and handling. The braking and handling was designed for the stock hp - I am sure you know this. I really don't think that after 450 to 500rwhp is useful on a road coarse. I think that even my car has to much, that is why I re-tuned it to have less hp, I was at 460, 440 is perfect. Just make sure if you install a turbo, that it is sized right and you install a lightweight harmonic balancer and flywheel. Or else you will be on the gas in the corner slowly bringing up the power and then all of the sudden your turbo (s) will spool up and you won't like the results.
If you want to cut cost, hit the track events I do. I usually get free hotel nights stays and you are more than welcome to stay with me.
The July event is at Birmingham, AL at Barber. This is a brand new track and is suppose to be a world class facility. I have never been there, but everyone talks about how great it is, same thing with Road Atlanta.
