All I got to say is if you have never done it, DO IT! You will learn a lot, no matter how good of a driver you think you are. I hope to have my GoPro videos up sometime this week.

Well worth it bro. I'm going to give Maximum Motorsports a call tomorrow, time to add to my MM collection. I need a new shifter also, something a little longer so I don't have to reach.

Looking good Jay! Can't wait to get on the track with you [Wink] So which spot on the car did you like best for the Gopro?

Definitely on the outside of the windshield facing forward, right on the other side of your rear view. You can see just a small piece of the hood and lots of track. You can see the lines very well.

Yea, thats a good spot for sure! I see a lot if people mount them on the roof right above the windshield...I tried it and the view is great but or some reason I like seeing my diving inputs in the video so outside the driver side quarter window is my choice. Post those vids already!

Oh, btw...got your 3 1/2 x 12 MM decal ordered. I'll hit you up when I get it so I can come check out your ride [patriot]

Hows the motor Jay? Have enough power for you? Your pops happy with it?

Looks like fun!
 
Posted by SnakeBit (Member # 8871) on :
 
Defenetly enough for now. We are going to start with more suspension and safety mods. Maybe some more aggressive pads and new rotors. As far as power. Twin turbo? Now that will be enough power.

What were your lap times? I run 1:59-2:03 lap times at t-hill on my r1. Love that track!!!
 
Posted by Camara90 (Member # 134) on :
 
Dito at gotbluemilk does a nice job!!

Hands down my favorite track!! GSXR 750 running in the 2:00-2:10ish range. I can literally run that track in my sleep. I'm a freaking addict.

I'm pretty sure most motorcycle clubs go over the top of the crows nest which is 2 seconds slower than the bypass which NASA almost always runs. I've still got them covered by 2-3 second a lap [Big Grin]

I've never done the bypass. Im in the works for getting a Imsa Mustang. It should cut my lap time way down haha

Sweet...NASCAR style, I like it [Big Grin] What does IMSA stand for?

Im not sure but look up Imsa Mustang and it should tell you. There pretty much complete race cars with some Mustang body panels
