    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    OK, I've RE-cancelled my Laguna trip. Obviously there's a fair bit of uncertainty. I'd still like to make it there one day so I hope someone posts after the next Laguna event. Thank you for the help offered - much appreciated. I hope ( if Vipers are actually going) that the June trip is a...

    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    This is the event I was booked into! Is your group all Vipers and will they make muster at the dB meter? He might not have sold the spot in the truck yet! I'm now faintly hopefull.... You do understand that the entire trip will cost about $5k (trucking, airfare, hotels, rental car...

    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    I've already released my spot on the truck - I'm out. Thank you for your offers of assitance but it's not a driving trip for me. I'm joining a scheduled event with a group. I travel a lot (for fun) - about 2+ months a year, so fitting in an event like a Laguna lapping event, while still...

    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    92 decibel. I'm travelling with a company called Arrive and Drive. They do a great job. They come right to my house, load the car into an enclosed beavertail semi truck and bring it right to the track. I fly in, rent a car, drive to the track and go. Afterwards I put my helmet on the seat...

    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    Since an ACR set the lap record at Laguna I presume that a stock ACR ('08) will meet the sound requirements for that track. It's a LONNNGGGG way for me to travel just to be turned away. So I'd just like to confirm that a stock ACR will meet the sound limits at Laguna. Can anyone confirm...

    Oh, I also took the new Ferrari FF for a drive. It's amazing how well that thing works on snow and ice - incredible actually. It's a cool car. Greg

    Dec. Driving

    I've been driving all week - nice! On the 27th I took one of my motorcycles out - the GSX-R1000. Man that thing is FAST! I think I'll be able to ride and drive right to the end of next week - the forecast will decide. Greg

    ACR track questions re: tire life

    Fantastic! Good luck chasing the lap record! I'm quite pround that I managed to reset our local lap record in October - and now the track has been torn down and is gone forever, an ACR will hold the production car lap record forever. Yay! Just out of curiosity, since you're changing...

    Recon - 2014 Corvette ZR1 renderings

    I love it! I think it looks fantastic - but I agree with most here, I don't like the Camaro style tail lights. So I think it's a great looking car but I don't want one and I won't buy one. It's just not my type of car. Greg

    Dec. Driving

    Well.... no driving today with several cm of snow on Sunday and this morning. I'm glad I got my drive in. It was a little sketchy getting in and out of the garage since the lane was covered in snow and ice. The main roads were basically clear and dry. That's the first time I drove the...

    I took the ACR for a drive yesterday - Dec. 10th. I'm certain the car is responsible for dozens of neck injuries. This time of year a car like the ACR is a rare site on the mean streets of Calgary - and man, did it attract attention! I'm sure the Queen riding a moped naked wouldn't have...

    TRACK RECORD!

    Thanks everyone. I've been teaching racing schools for years plus I have national level racing titles - so I know what to do. I just decided that today was the day that I was going to apply everything I knew, and it worked out. A big part is mental, and knowing I had fresh tires and...

    TRACK RECORD!

    Thanks everyone - this all means a great deal to me. I really wasn't sure I could do it, but I knew I was going to give it a fair shot. I'm still giddy with joy! The guy with the ZR-1 (a really, really nice guy BTW) who was unaware that 15 minutes earlier I done the 1:18.4 - came up to me...

    TRACK RECORD!

    Last year (2010) I set the production car track record at my local track - Race City Speedway in Calgary. My time was 1:19.5. I had set a goal for myself of a lap at less than 80 seconds - 1:20. I achieved that by 1/2 a second. I was absolutely overjoyed! Race City will be destroyed at...

    Track Time - Calgary

    I'm running my car 100% stock. Brake pads, tires..... everything. Therefore the tires I've ordered are, Michelin Pilot Sport Cups - the OE fit tires. I added a harness for safety - that's it.

    Track Time - Calgary

    The track will close with our first snowfall. I still have a few closed events left this year though - the next 2 Saturdays. I a few guys have taken a run at the record but haven't done it - one (in a ZR-1!) even tried with slicks. He's a great driver having won a few races but the ACR...

    Track Time - Calgary

    3 times I watched you go into Turn 1 and thought, Uh oh..... he's carrying a lot of speed into there - but every time it was perfect. Seriously, you did some awesome driving there Steve. It was really fun to watch. I just love watching a car being driven well, and yours certainly was. Very...

    Track Time - Calgary

    I rented the track for one last day. Oct. 5th - 5:00 to dusk. First timers MUST have an instructor $300. Those that have been through my program before don't need an instructor and it's only $200. Get there a little early of you can. It get's dark before 8:30 so I'd like to get cars lapping...

    Crashed Vert

    Did someone crash a black vert this morning? I had a call that someone saw a black vert that was 'bent in the middle' on a flat bed. She said there was no apparant crash damage other than the bent frame. I expect the car probably went off the road and hit a big enough bump that it bent the...

    Track Time - Calgary

    Regarding Tuesdays track event, the Ferrari guys probably won't be there...... Maybe, but probably not. Anyway, if you're new to the track and want to join us, I need to know today so I can book an instructor. If you've been at Race City before you can let me know as late as Monday...
