Hi, I have been lurking for awhile, but would like to introduce myself.

Nick Majors from Canada. I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my competition coupe - hopfully in the next few weeks. :cool:

Have been racing in Canada for the last six years, mostly touring car, lots of FWD, some BMW. Successfully sold my business in November and ordered my dream car, the Viper.

Plan to spend this year running north of the border, and would appreciate a couple of contacts from teams that have been running CC's for awhile to discuss tire choices and in general what to expect as we set-up and learn about the car. Will be running 45 minute sprints, but hope to do a couple of three hours races. Not sure what to expect from the manuals (binders) but suggestions/comments from experienced teams would be much appreciated.

Nick:

I can tell you are a racer because you listed Mosport and not Toronto as your home...

We race a GTS and a CC in the Viper Racing League, and the single most experienced person when it comes to CC's is John Archer at Archer Racing in Duluth, MN. If I had one coming in, he would be my first call. Many guys have had their CC's sent to him from the factory for initial prep.

Good luck!
Rich

Well, technically my home would be "Coppin's Corner" Ontario - Mosport sounds much better and is only about 30 miles by backroad. :crazy:

Looks like the car is coming this week (C-78)

Thank you to all who have responded to this thread and / or sent me PM. Lot's of good advice and helpful information.

What I am looking for right now is info on "Rain Tire" choices, wet setup, etc. - and - any and all setup information on Mosport in particular (wet and dry).

Shoot. I made an error in my previous post last night and today I can't edit it anymore :eek: That town is supposed to be Edmonton, not Toronto.
