New Gen V Recall
Pretty impressive they are doing this IMO. Other manufacturers make it tough to get any warranty work for a tracked car.- 38D

Track Insurance
There is a big different between HPDE and racing...not even remotely similar. Racing insurance is very, very expensive. When I last looked at it, premium was 15% of the car value with a 20% value deductible. So for 100k car, you'd need to do more than 35k damage before it made sense...every...- 38D

My lift is probably my favorite tool...or the Miller Dynasty 200 Tig welder...or the soda blast cabinet...ah heck, I like all tools! But no doubt the best feature of the garage is having heat. Road Atlanta is awesome. I haven't been back since that race (2007) so it's been a while. Would...- 38D

Thanks all! It's winter up here (Boston) so I won't be driving the snake anytime soon. But I can hardly wait! A few gratuitous pictures of the garage and current projects. First several are of my GT5 Boxster project. 2.5L engine (tiny I know) and my motec wiring project (which has take...- 38D

Oh yes. Definitely going to take some getting used to the ACR. Most of the cars I've raced have been much less powerful, no aero, but also significantly lighter. I've raced 914s, 911 turbos, spec boxster, but I'm most comfortable in my 1992 964 cup, which is all of 260hp but only weighs...- 38D

Will be joining the Viper family soon. Ordered my Stryker Purple ACR Extreme from Bill Pemberton (Bill has been fantastic to deal with). Should be driving the snake by the spring! I've been a long time Porsche guy, and was looking to upgrade to a GT3 from my Cayman R. But the price...- 38D

Tire Spinning On Rim During Track Use
Thanks, looking forward to getting an ACR soon! One other trick I've heard, though never used myself. Have just the rim balanced, separate from the tire. This way when the tire rotates, it's not off quite as bad. My experience has always been I wore out or heat cycled my tires out long...- 38D

Tire Spinning On Rim During Track Use
Every race car I've had has spun the tires on the rim to some degree, especially with stickier tires/slicks. Even my 1992 Porsche 964 cup, with all of 260hp, does this, largely because of the very sticky Dunlop slicks. Typically what you see is the tire tends to "right itself" during the...- 38D
