Did Joe get his GT-TT back together and bring it out ? I'd love to see what it would do given the great performance of the Heffner cars.

 

Tommy Banh - Autobanh Supra - 222.

 

His car is not back together. He moved out of state and is off the radar for a bit.

 

Ok...last update. Tommy's Supra ran 222.3 and the GT TT just ran 222.2

 

Heffner TT GT went 222.2 mph.

Better air in the AM will see 225+.

 

Was a bad *** day out there. Good to finally meet the Protomotive crew and Marty. I currently look like a lobster.. I'm the idiot that forgot sun screen

 

Easier said than done. Cooler air could get more power for the engine, but leads to a colder track = less traction............ Congrats to everyone out there especially Tommy and his supra...you got some ***** running on 19" wheels man, sorry I couldn't pit for you...

 

Traction isn't really the GT's problem. Runs on wastegate springs in 1st, matted with full power the rest of the way. I've watched it run in the 50's and it was all in the whole way. Mid-engine makes for a ****ty drag car, but it once it gets off the line, it's gone with all that weight over the wheels.

Did anyone have times for any of the regular cars? Stuff that's closer to stock? Any notable cars like Gallardos or 997TT's, etc?

 

Way to go Tommy!!!

 

why did vr not bring his 996TT?

 

We may see some 230's tomorrow...

Bellos car is an early 80's 911SC with 964 body parts and a aircooled TT.

 

Nah I'm pretty sure it's a '94 C2---Maciej and Bello bought it together.

 

His last run was almost ideal weather condition and i don't think tomorrow will be any better. It depend how much he have left in the car. The temperature had dropped few degrees after Tommy's last run, and there is no head wind. It is rare to have calm and no head wind at this event. Congrat to both for setting the two fastest runs of the day.

 

There was a good P car showing. The fastest P car was Eddie's which on its second run blasted a 210 but unfortunately on its 3rd run lost its sun roof!! I think all of the P cars looked and ran well, which sets them apart from the most of these incredible machines, is that they can be driven, raced then driven back home! But the fastest car still remains in H town, the home of the Houston Perfomance Drivers..
