I'll be there with u.

 

Slickshoes and I will be flying back from Thunderhill that day. We had to postpone our Ariel Atom thing because slick was being chased by fire.

Sounds aggressive...though I'm not sure that I entirely understand.

 

SlickShoes lives in an area that was impacted by the San Diego fires. Last I heard, his place was OK, but he was evacuated. I assume his place is still standing (I hope)

 

I'll most likely be there. Possibly diff'd and clutched.

 

^Thats awesome, having a limited slip on SOW is prolly just as crucial to faster lap times as forced induction

 

...or better driving.

I can't WAIT to get an atb diffy. LOL.

Limited Slip is much more crucial at SOW. Less crucial than FI at Big Willow. SOW just irritates me because it limits me so on my acceleration out of the corners. It is however a great place for me to work on smoothness and footwork.

PS. Not sure, but I may be joining you and a few of my MINI clients on the 16th. Ford Racing is playing with my PCM right now and I look forward to trying it out.

 

I would have go if it wasn't on friday.

 

Crap! Thats friday? I'm out. Sorry Clint.

 

You guys cant get fridays off or something?

 

I wish I could but I can't

 

See, in the real world, we're only given X amount of vacation time. Being as how I'm burning 2 vacation days next week, used one last week, etc... I'm pretty much outta vacation for the next little while.

 

their's a bunch of Cooper S's signed up in advanced group, im kinda scared

 

With 1:29 lap time you should be more worried about NSXs than Mini Coopers

You scared me for a sec. i thought i over looked an NSX signed up in my run group:lol:

I gotta actually look out for that Gary Glazier guy again, he was running fast at the last streets event.

A MINI can hold its own just fine, especially at a place like Streets.

Thats exactly why i said im kinda scared....

 

It's going to have to be a pretty juiced mini to run under 1:30!

Im kinda scared they might be heavily juiced...:lol:

Just outta curiosity, how much power does your SVT put down and what power mods do you have?

Not in the current temps and track configuration. Roy was running the same times Raffi and I were in 120 ambient temps, and although his mini is buit pretty darn good, it's no super mini from hades.

With that being said, I don't think Clint will have any issues though. He can turn the wheel pretty good.

 

just signed up:thumbup:

So when we were running at SOW you were prolly putting done a good 250whp.
Are you planning to build the bottom end and get into the upper 200's?

 

I'd love to. :evilgrin:

Especially before I need to.
