OK Regis.

On the serious side, we do have a GT2 being entered.

Alas, I am currently without any Porsche to enter...

Where's Alois Ruf when you need him?

CJV, be careful, remember Watt's Porsche's have gone more than 25 miles, gasp, in a row without stopping!

We are attempting to include a 0-150-0 and/or a 60-0 or 100-0 event. We are trying to locate proper measurement equipment. Does anyone have any leads or suggestions?

Buddy,

They do not have that particular type of equipment to measure that particular type of contest. I am attempting to get it so we can add some braking tests.

How is the Red Monster coming along?

The "RED BEAST" will be at GIAC Monday Morning and they will be doing the final tuning this coming week. Should be good to go!

Buddy,

Sounds great. I have traded e-mail with Todd at EVOMS. Since you are bringing the Red Beast (Stage V) he is wants to bring a Stage IV GT. Hamann is representing Protomotive. Duane is in the process of finishing his own beast. Asgar from Weissach Performance is attempting to have a Ruf entered. Dave Colman is talking to CEC about a Techart GT Street.

S Car Go Racing is providing a GT 2 as a ringer. Now this should resolve some disputes regarding handling and acceleration.

Because nobody will care about driver skill, reaction time s/b ellimnated from the equation. This is all you need. The charting functions can be overlaid and a multitude of performance measures could be compaired.

zippy,

How accurate is that G-tech in measuring braking distance and from what speeds? Is this the best unit or is there better units available?

I will be keeping my eye on this. I subscribe to Excellence and look forward to the article but will you guys release any results prior to the article? If for some reason the article doesn't reach print (based upon cjv's previous statements that the editors reserve the option to do with it as they see fit, or not do anything potentially) is there a backup plan for all of the collected data?
