  1. Sonoma Raceway 5/28-5/29 HPDE

    It was a mentally tough day after our paddock neighbor had an intense crash in the very first run group. Made all the other track sessions a little more anxious than normal for me. But overall the car ran great, the weather was awesome and the company was fun.
  2. S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Since you're turning it into a real race car, you can start out with a salvage title, crappy paint, etc. The pre-made roll cage is under $2000.00...if you can weld you're essentially all in for probably $2200.00 and your time to end up with a real roll cage. If you do your own work, I promise...
  3. S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Fabman....love following your adventures and build. If you want more door to door racing with a spec series budget and lots of competition, have you thought about Spec Corvette? I know it's not a Mustang but the fun factor looks big.https://www.facebook.com/SpecCorvette/You can get into a...
  4. S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here?

    Be careful of the Russian imports. They are like a cross between a Yugo and an RPG.....and that's before adding in Vodka.
  5. Gumball Rally on right now!!!

    Best freak'n car movie ever. Saw this movie when I was around 14 and it has literally cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars during my life purchasing fast cars. I even own two copies of the DVD just in case one goes missing.Oh, and of course my idol Franco said the words to live by.......
  6. Gas Can Recommendations

    I have a ton of brand new VP caps available should anybody need some for cheap....just PM me. I found that the VP caps worked on just about every brand fuel jug and sealed the best because of the o-ring seal. The key was the cap, not the jug.
  7. Gas Can Recommendations

    Simple...I did drive my Viper and road tripped it out there with the NorCal Viper club. I think we had at least 15 cars in our caravan. The fuel wasn't specifically for me, it was just in case some of our other Viper brothers ran short. Some of the cars were older and I don't trust old fuel...
  8. Gas Can Recommendations

    These are the only cans I use....you can carry them inside your car and never smell fumes. The are actually rated to be transported inside airliners for emergency fuel transportation by NATO. If these things were to rupture inside your car due to a crash, you weren't going to survive the crash...
  9. Do you have proper track etiquette???

    I would guess by the term HPDE2 that this is NASA?....I don't know their rules for that specific day/track, but if this was point by everywhere then that second pass would be a problem for me (which is what I'm assuming happened).But if this is point by in corners only with designated...
  10. Do you have proper track etiquette???

    Interesting discussion.Looking at the first clip with the Subaru....the driver just plains sucks as a driver. He essentially never really hits a correct apex so he is too busy trying to keep his car on track to notice the traffic behind him. He essentially needs a real driving school to...
  11. Help me figure out "life after the V6 Mustang" - BRZ, another S197, a Corvette, keep or sell my V6 S197 as a fun DE car???

    My disposable track car is a 2003 C5Z06. I say disposable because I want my track car paid off, I don't want to have to purchase track insurance and if something bad happens I can park it with no drama.Personally, I would base my track car of choice on factory horsepower first. Unless you are...
  12. July 2020 Tire Test - Michelin Pirelli Goodyear Top End Track Tires

    Nice to see a review with larger sized tires on a car that weighs more than a Miata. I would love to see this type of test in North America on a track with ambient temps of 85 degrees or more. Afternoon track surface temps may totally change the results compared to cool weather testing.Thanks...
  13. Enclosed trailer options

    Enclosed trailers are fantastic in every way over an open trailers except for purchase cost and decreased fuel mileage. Mine has a mini living quarters in it with AC and heater...nothing better than getting done with a track session on a hot day and stepping into a cool trailer to change and...
  14. Driving School @ ncracing

    Wow, that young lady did a great job at Laguna Seca!I would highly recommend that before any first time inexperienced driver goes on the track (even with an instructor), they take a intense teenage highway survival class. It teaches a lot of car control subjects that cannot be done on a live...
