Here are some pics from my car in action this past weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The event was the Tire Rack SCCA SOLO Atlanta National Tour. I ended up placing 3rd in my class. If I had been on R-comps, I could have possibly taken the win. It's hard to beat a car on 315/30 Hoosiers when I was running 255/40 Pirellis. It is my plan to run the National Tour event in Nashville this October on some 295/30 or 315/30 Hoosiers and see if I can take that one down with a victory. Enjoy the pics!

Nice pics and good job. I live about 20 minutes from the tire racks warehouse in south bend in

 

Dude that is awesome (as Hurley would say)!

In the 2nd photo from the bottom in the 1st set (DSC06378) I can see a couple hundred dollars worth of rubber flying into the air.

Thanks for sharing.

Looks great!! Good to see them on the track!

 

Nice!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

 

I was wondering if it's just me or is the splitter aimed downward in the center?? didn't know if that was intentional or if it's just the camera angle??

 

Fun, fun!!

 

That lot had tons of grip and ate through a bunch of tires, mine included. The front tires on my car are nearly shot just from this past weekend.

They have substantially deeper pockets than I have. I'd love to trick mine out like theirs.

They are a ton of fun out there once you've got a few suspension goodies on them.

The splitter does appear to have done some funky things in the picture. Standing in front of the car the splitter appears to be straight, but it is definitely pointing downward in those pictures. I don't know if it is air on the front of the nose at speed driving it downward or what the problem is. I'm going to put the car on a lift this weekend and will try to figure out what is going on with it as well as my swaybar endlink on the passenger side creaking now. I may have bent it or it may have just come loose.

 

Well you'll use less tire when they aren't being beaten up so badly.

As for autox adventures, I have a few of my own and with a setup a lot closer to what Jason is running (and in for the same class too). Haven't had much to report with the major car issues, but it's now progressing albeit slowly. Testing this weekend and if all goes well it'll have 4 National events on it in the next 4 weeks, and hopefully 4 wins.

 

Good luck to you Sam!

 

Thanks for the help with the Watts and adjustable bar this AM, Sam. Best of luck!

 

How am I beating them up? Did you see something in my driving that is causing undue wear? How did the car look on the course? I still think I have too much front body roll. How do we fix that? Oh yeah, I need new swaybar endlinks. Passenger side is bent. Do you have some good ones for me?

 

His are the best (I tried the "street" Shelby/Drake ones, crap):

Lookin good, man!

 

Remember the "I don't know why I'm not hitting the brakes" thing?

I have links. http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...200&ModelID=35 You won't bend these.

 

Now I know what you were talking about on the phone. I hadn't even seen your response to this thread and was calling you. That's why when you said, "did you see the link?", I had no idea what you were talking about. Now I do. As always, thanks for the good advice and the great service. I look forward to getting these on the car one day next week.

 

Love seeing these cars on the course. I still haven't been to an autoX event but I'd love to. I've been to a couple different driving schools with skidpads and emergency maneuvers, but not an official SCCA event.

Have you guys who track/autoX your DDs, have you noticed any additional squeaks/rattles from flinging your cars around?
