oh and just to point out how ridiculous my 1:04 goal is, Chris Rado who some of you may have heard of is running about that time in the unlimited class...

M.Bonanni · 10-07-2009, 05:05 PM

That is quite an ambitious goal! Rado's car is ungodly quick and probably the most prepared and well put together car competing in time attack in the US. I believe in you though!

travisjb · 10-07-2009, 05:24 PM

trust me, the goal is completely unrealistic!

We're starting at 1:13... if I shave 5 seconds off, I'll be a happy guy !!!

Luv'n my Z · 10-07-2009, 10:48 PM

1:13 to 1:04 is almost impossible no matter how much you modify your Z.

travisjb · 10-07-2009, 11:16 PM

yup... i think 5 secs is do-able... anything more than that is going to require moving up a class or two and some serious power upgrades. the class i'm competing in, winning times are 1:07-9 ish... for those too lazy to click on the nasa link above here is the last tts result:

Gary Felton 15 TTS 2008 Corvette 1:09.32 1:08.49 1:09.14 1st 100
Peter Van Camp 306 TTS 2006 Z06 Corvette 1:09.39 1:09.04 1:09.43 2nd 90
Dale Naylor 367 TTS 2002 Corvette 1:12.68 1:12.41 1:11.53 1:13.99 3rd 85
Dan Maloney 44 TTS 2007 Porsche GT3 1:12.74 1:12.83 1:11.86 1:12.43 4th 80

( I went to NASA and the track record was set by a viper at 1:02

travisjb · 10-08-2009, 01:06 AM

you mean you were there on sunday ? if so, correct, it was a 102.93

Mark Algers 4 TTU 2003 Viper CC 1:02.93 1:05.34 1st 100

you do realize this is the unlimited class, right ?

Luv'n my Z · 10-08-2009, 01:09 AM

I went to their website and saw the green box indicating a track record.

Damn that Honda must be fast if the viper only beat him by a second or two

honda driven by regional director of nasa-az.. his name is Tage... he is extremely fast, so is the car... he has the track record at firebird

Luv'n my Z · 10-08-2009, 01:23 AM

The horsepower difference must be gigantic.

Luv'n my Z · 10-08-2009, 01:52 PM

Is the Honda a civic or a s2000

M.Bonanni · 10-08-2009, 01:54 PM

Tage's car is a civic. He used to do time attack back in the 2007 season and back then he and Rado would be very close in times. Very quick little civic even with limited power and an excellent driver to boot.

Update, ordered the following:

- 4x8 ft polycarbonate ar2 at 3/16" thickness... will be cut at 50"... to be used for rear and side windows

- 4.5x8 ft black "boatboard" or HDPE at 3/8" thickness... to be used for front splitter

We are going to attempt to mount the splitter in a way that I can put it on at the track. Not an easy task.
