Nah, autoX doesn't do it for me. I'll be at Infineon the last weekend of next month for the Shelby club Mini-Nats. Should have my TA/PHB and some other bits an pieces on by then.

funny..i beat out 1/2 of the maitas running in nasa/x that season and i was 1 sec. behind a s/c miata in a class above mine good friend of mine... imo, miatas are probably one of the best autox rides out there.
john john john...haha do you have a problem of quick reaction racing?? hehehe.....
Reaction, blah! Cones are cheap man's way of saying he is a road racer! ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) I like tracks like Reno for example, where you pulling 140 down the straight, then don't lift to cut into a section of esses. You can't beat the feeling on truly on the edge at wide open throttle. Cones, its like 2-3, 2-3, 2-3 oh maybe 4th, back to 2nd. It, is what 4 runs that last 50 sec. or less, for $45 or so. Screw that. I'll spend $150, get 2 hours of track time. Much better use of my money. Oh, Marek, are you scared that my whopping 214 rwhp will walk you in the corners???? It's just a POS GT
And Mike, and chris, more the merrier. Hell Mike, shoot me a PM, I got an idea I wanna throw at you see if we can get it to work.

Marek, I'll keep the low cuts down. Since we are supposed to be cool. How about we just call it out. :Turn on Al Pacino voice: You wanna peice of me, you scum sucking piece of f-in sh*t?!?!?! :Turn off Al Pacino voice: :Turn on Kirsten Dunce voice: You'd better bring it! :Turn off Kirsten Dunce voice:
How about a little time trial challenge???
We'll pick an event at say Thunderhill, October-Novemberish. Best 2 laps of the day avg. Run what you brung. Only Limitations being, 1) It MUST BE YOUR CAR. 2) NO NITROUS, as nitrous is illegal in road racing anyway. 3) WE RUN RAIN OR SHINE. 4) 3rd party will collect times and data logging, we can not interfer with any timing equiptment or automatic forefeit. 5) Cars must pass NASA Regulations Tech Form. Safety is priority. 6) We go for bragging rights and dinner. Sound fair???? ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

Alright! The Guantlet has been picked up and now there will be a duel! Will there be other challengers in this duel? Possibly a "Bowtie" or a "Shaker"?

04Z06,
That Z06 is going to be pretty hard to beat... BUT 03Shkr's Mach is no ordinary Mach By the time this event is put on it will have a heavily modded suspension. Also, if my car is done and I have time.... I'll see if I can come out too. 500RWHP, full Griggs, and Racelogic Taction Control system should be able to keep up with you.. BUT those Z06's are great cars. I'm sure if Mario Andretti was driving my car he would be able to keep up with you but I'm not Mario Andretti ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

I don't know anything about road racing,how would an M5 hold up against a Z06 is the M5 too heavy and underpowered to put up a fight? My cousin owns an M5 and Im just curious on there capabilitys on a road course, I know they are ok in straight line preformance like 13.2 1/4 mile.

Ok, ANY DOT TIRE. Thread wear of 100+ and must still have tread, no full make shift slicks. Deal?

In this battle, it better be a tin can, and have some hot driver to back it. 1/4 mile time means did on the track. You will see.

Oh and the initial bet is between Marek and I. Side bets or runs for fun are extras.
BIG RULE FOR WHICH CLUB EVENT IT CAN OR CAN'T BE>
NO SHELBY CLUB (Way to restrictive on passing.)
The run group we have to run in is minimum of Intermediate-Advanced, or Full Advanced. Must allow for OPEN TRACK PASSING IN ALL CORNERS. I hope you are up to qualifications there boys. I don't run with novices that aren't allowed to pass.
*Oh Marek, I'll make sure my rear bumper camera is working so I can tape your driving.

Looks like this is the best possiblity
NCRC
On saturday they are doing time trials too. It would work out the best. I hope you qualify for advanced though.

I won't be there, but it sounds like you guys will have a great time I just thought If cars were reaching 100+ mph that a car like a zo6 would have at least a little advantageover a car like a miata. As I stated before I dont know anything about road racing and am just trying to get a littke info.- thanks.
