    Talking Trans Am with David Pintaric

    Right front brake caliper seal failed causing me to have no brakes and to experience a small fire. That's three "fluke" incidents this year causing my DNFs.

    Talking Trans Am with David Pintaric

    I was running 25s on tires 30 miles past "junk," and felt like I left two seconds out there. Truthfully I think 22s or 21s are going to be needed. I think I can run those times.

    Wear and Tear from Road Racing

    Rear suspension defect?

    #1 was on the initial test of my 2004 T1 car at Heartland Park, June 2006.

    Weight of gen III parts

    If you're looking for a CF Gen IV hood, I have a pin on one that's brand new, never installed. It does have a Viper red wrap on it, but that can be removed rather easily.
