Re: Mancation II Drive North, or ship car to CA?
That is hard to believe Brian; don't make this one at the last minute like VIR. Although I am thrown between the Pirelli UTCC time trials vs. this one in July, but meeting these nuts somehow seems much more attractive, especially after they are drugged.

Re: Mancation II Drive North, or ship car to CA?
Let's just say we are likely a create a story per stop, some intended, some are just forced upon us
We just bought a couple of dozen RA1 335 shaved 5/32nds today. I think we have the market firmly cornered

I witnessed a brief moment on Manaction I and "attractive" isn't the word I would use to describe. Worn out, hung over and dirty seems more appropriate....that's why I am frustrated I can't join them. I am making the switch to 18"! I've been running 19" and can't take the lack of tire options anymore. |

Re: Mancation II Drive North, or ship car to CA?
Quick update
- We registered and paid for all the events and booked most hotel nights: Autobahn Country Club July 9+10 Road America PCA 11+12 Mosport 14 Mid Ohio 15-16-17 Watkins Glen 18+19 - We're both getting the PFC dimpled front rotors and we will have 3 sets of worn front OEM rotors and 1 set of OEM rear rotors with us as spares. - Running PFC08 pads and we will take 1 extra set each with us, they won't last 10 days. We will see how far they go. I am adding front brake ducts next week, but I don't think they are really needed at those tracks. Nothing Like Sebring PBIR and Homestead. I think the brake parts manufacturers designed these brake killer tracks down here - Cars are both Dyno'd for the fun of it, bit Dyno'ed at about 420HP, so that looks good as well. - Tires: Toyo 18" RA1 245F and 335R. We each will have 2 sets mounted on rims and we will have about 6 rears and 2 fronts each to mount. I hope there is still room for a beer cooler Both cars' allignment is the same, the only difference will be the LSD and brake ducts that I have, but Izzone is thinking about doing that as well.

Re: Mancation II Drive North, or ship car to CA?
I did a mini-mancation last week! No comparision to Peter's trip but....
Drove Watkins Glen Wednesday. About 4 1/2 hour drive to WG. I drove up and back in less than 24hours. Interesting twist on the day when we ran the short/Nascar track from 3-4:30pm. That was cool. Also, drove NJMP Thunderbolt on Saturday. A little over a 2 hour drive. Drove up at 5am, tracked 5-25 minutes sessions and was home in time for dinner with neighbors. This was a NJMP member day which was very enjoyable. I attended as a guest. They served breakfast and lunch which were terrific and the atmosphere was welcoming and laid back. I changed the aero by adding the GT2RS front splitter and wing lip. Also, added more front spring and a turbo tweak. I used these two days to test the changes. Unfortantely, I need more testing! Car feels much different and was hard to read. My confidence was shaken and I couldn't get a handle on why the car felt bad. I made a sway bar change didn't do much to improve things. It was some of the worst and least comfortable driving I can recall ever experiencing and it was due to my inability to understand the chassis. Back to Mancation II - You guys are going to love Watkins Glen! This was my 3rd time there and 1st time back since the first weekend in August. It's awesome! |
