Footage From Thursday at Summit Point...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhoqo0bewp8

I'm working on editing the only session I got my video camera to work in, which I had a buddy who is a T1 racer ride shotgun and instruct me (and gave some real good subtle points, but my times were off and I was hitting gators more than I wanted) . The above clip was from another guys car as we flew past...

I'll post more as it comes in from others...

Hey Mikelly, how's your UMW package (turbo's & tune) performing?

My UMW package is and has always performed flawless. The only issues I've had is re-learning to drive the car because it makes so much more torque lower into and out of the corners. Last event I had a slipping clutch which made me smoother than the video I just looked at from Thursday... We didn't use any 100Octane race fuel on Thursday, But I'm headed back to the track this coming Friday - Sunday and will run the race file with some to see how it does... As of right now, I can't imagine needing "MORE" power, but promised Kevin I'd give it a full review...

I'm sure other tuner packages do it for others, but I've been in a couple other turbo cars with K16s or K24s and NONE of them is pulling as hard as mine, not even close.

Now, with the ClutchMasters treatment to the 996GT3 clutch and Sachs 999PP fulcrum mod, the clutch issues are gone.

Summit looks fun. Nice smooth driving there Mike.


That Z06 is SWEET!!!!! Is that the same guy that someone was posting about here recently that's going to Mid Ohio?


As for the Evo, I dont think I've ever seen someone go off like that before, he spun before the apex. At some point if you are off from the apex you have to cut your losses and open the wheel some.

Dez, That's my Buddy Jim's new LG Motosports Z06. He'll be at VIR with me this weekend for the First Settlers PCA event.

Summit point is a "fun" track, until you break out of the 1:25 range. Then it gets busy. I was physically tired at the end of the day like I've never felt before. Jim was running 1:17s in the Vette...
