91 through 96 (don't want a car in snap ring range unless its already been fixed and the fix is documented) Prefer Black/Black Will also consider Black/Ivory or White/Black Mileage under 100k, prefer under 50k Maintenance up to date with records. No mods other than professionally installed...

For proof of oiling issues in these cars, see DAL Motorsports results from Daytona 2003. The reason you don't see more problems is because most people simply don't push their cars hard enough or simply aren't fast enough to cause problems. For the vast majority of guys doing HPDE's, they...

Laptimes? What were the conditions? Any comparison times from prior to the upgrade?

Any update on the NSX? Going to make it to Nationals at Mid-O?

I think more guys with NSX's will come out once they see that the car can be competitive in H1 or HU without spending a fortune. Expecially guys that already have dedicated track cars. It's not a huge leap and with the restricted prep allowed in H1, the car build out would be relatively...

There are very few differences between a stock from Porsche GT3 Cup Car and one prepped for the Rolex series (small differences relative to the difference between a stock 997 and one prepped for the Grand-Am Cup). Wider front fenders to give room for a little more front tire, open shocks and...

GAC is car only, as is the Rolex series. Most endurance series do it that way so you can't gain an advantage with a light and a heavy driver. His Rolex car should definitely be capable of better than what he turned. A stock 997GT3 Cup will turn in the 1:27/1:28's and the Rolex car is a couple...

My wife's divorce lawyer. Seriously though, not a thing at the moment. Sold the 996 to a customer of Mike Fritzgerald's back in February. The 944 Turbo is sitting in the garage in need of an engine freshening. Had signed a contract to purchase a CTS-V to run in GAC back in February, but had...

Don't you mean 50 lbs heavier? The GAC car weighed in at 2730 with the 3.0L. Didn't yours come in at 2680 or thereabouts? I hadn't. I've been since. Thats probably the one track I have in common with both cars that really isn't a valid comparison because we really didn't get the NSX set up...

Ummm, did you mean a 125cc kart? A 125hp kart would first of all be completely undrivable, though if it were possible to keep it on the track and put the power down, it'd have a power to weight ratio that would scare the crap out of just about anyone short of an experienced F-1 pilot (230 lbs...

I should add that I suspect Rob is being overly cautious in his assessment of what his NSX will do at Road Atlanta. Whats to be gained by saying the car will run 1:25's, even if it will, if its only going to take 1:35's to demolish the HU field? All you'd do is run the risk of hurting the car...

Regional race, not unexpected to see poor T-1 times as most good drivers are either not there or just using it as a test session and trying to stay out of the way of the guys that actually care about regional races. Check times for the March or June National Race and you'll get a better...

I can back Gary up on this topic. I grew up just south of NASCAR country down in South Carolina and finding a good metal fabrication shop is about as easy as driving down the street once you get north of Charlotte. This stuff isn't rocket science (welding/bending tubing) and if you are used to...

At $1500 a pop plus installation costs, any competent fabricator should be able to build these for you for less than that and they could very likely come up with a less intrusive design compared to Comptech's with the support bars coming forward. I'm not saying anything negative about...
