Cool, I think I will be around. Its fookine hot though!

 

Louis, Is this the drags or road course???What group??

 

Thanks, I am running stock suspension with a "sport alignment" I will be taking it easy since I will be running street tires. Thanks for the heads up on the tire pressure. I live pretty close to Evo and have stopped by the shop before, great group of guys. Thanks again man!

 

Sat night, Road course group 3-4. I will also be doing the time attack although I will be taking it extra easy.

 

Still on? Weather is looking a bit iffy down here in Chandler as of 4:22. Should clear quickly though and will def. bring temps down.

 

Glad your Dad's okay, also that you're out driving w/him; what a great thing to see a dad and son driving on track. Hope that happens here someday.

It'll be interesting getting used to the GT3 coming from the 944. I have a neighbor who ran 944s and Boxsters in PCA and POC for years and just switched to a GT3 this year. He had a high-speed off that shook him up pretty good. Said the alignment is definitely not dialed yet, same as you. Just adding another 20-30mph in sweepers makes a big difference.

 

It is a blast racing with him. At first he showed me the ropes, now I instruct him at most events. He runs in the second to fastest group usually, while I instruct. He was paying 500 bucks an event for private lessons from instructors and now he gets those for free ! I guess I owe him for everything he has done for me throughout my life. Every track event is awesome because we get to spend the quality time together that both of us miss nowadays with our busy schedules. It makes for good team work, i read and analyze data for him, set up his car etc and he is always out there supporting me during my races(both karting and cars). You will love it when you and your son are tracking together.....

The GT3 is a big step up. My 944 turbo was very fast, but the GT3 is a whole other level. When I karted I always had to be very cautious of steering input because for every input there was always a bigger output. When I went to the 944 turbo that was not the case. the car was too forgiving and I got sloppy at times. The GT3 is making me drive the car more and making me use all the skills I guess I had put away while driving the 944 turbo. I am very glad I am driving this car because it is testing me as a driver more and more.

 

That's awesome man

 

Alignment is key if you're going to push hard with a GT3. I drive mine on the street a lot, so I had to compromise some. After trying a lot of settings, I finally got it to a point that I'm very happy with. Camber -2.5F/-2.1R, total toe 5'F/30'R, sway bars 1 from hard F/2 from hard R, MPSC's at 34-35psi hot F&R, RS wing with 4' shim.

 

I got to watch Luis at the track on Saturday and have to say in relation to some of the other cars on the track it looked pretty dialed in. Wild speculation on my part sitting in the bleachers and watching but.....

He also put on a good show on the drifting course. It was great to see a high dollar P-car getting a good workout.

Are you going to chime in??????????????

 

Check out my new avatar.

 

forgot to mention sneaking into the drift event too...those 240s had nothin on you

 

Post up some pics!

 

Luis,
Noticed your new Avatar, nice. Let us know how was it?

 

The pic in my avatar was actually taken on the drifting course. I was a little loose on the back end during my 1st De sesion due to too much air in my rear tires. I decided to go into the drifting course once. Shaun will post some more pics. The actual event on the track was a blast. The Gt3 is very responsive in all parts of the track. Braking is excellent. I was driving the car 7/10ths all night. I would like to do some more suspension work and get another set of wheels with track tires before I go full out. It was an absolute blast!
