    "Wet" track tires...?

    Hmmm. I've never run the R6's but I've done many wet track days with the PS2's and with the Cups. I think that folks jump on the bandwagon about the Cups in the wet ("I'll say they're bad because they MUST be bad - just look at them!") but my opinion, and experience differs. FWIW, I do keep...

    ZR-1 after ACR ring record

    The ZR-1 is a phenominal car. On a track with few high speed corners and long straights I feel it'll beat the ACR. If it comes factory with Cups it'll certainly be faster. Of coure I'm still pulling for the Viper but if they can beat it, they've really accomplished something. Good for...

    Track Time - Calgary

    I'll be at the track - but I will be busy with students. The forecast is for a very nice evening! Greg

    Very cold

    I agree 100%. I've had the good fortune to travel to 91 different countries (so far....) and I know that I live in the best one. :can1:

    post pics of your Viper ACR!

    That's SWEET! Viper's where they belong - at the track. A picture of a Viper parked on the lawn is..... OK. A picture of a Viper doing a smoky burnout or ripping up the race track is SWEET indeed! Nice. Greg

    Finally - Race City is Free of Snow

    I finally got onto the track this weekend. :drive: We were the first event of the year. Last weekend I postponed both a Porsche Club event and the Ferrari Maseratti of Alberta event due to snow. However, this weekend was much better. All day Saturday and Sunday the weather was excellent...

    Western Canada 2011 Events

    Guys, I still don't have track dates. In the past few years I've just hooked us up with Davenport track nights - and that's worked out really, really well. Unfortunately we never had enough interest to run a Viper only event. Regrettably, Davenport might be cancelling their year because...

    Post up the best pic of your SRT

    Let's see if I can remember my college physics.... A hollow shaft whose inside diameter is 1/2 it's outside diameter is 80% as strong as a solid shaft. IIRC..... Greg

    Lap time.... Well, in 2009 I set a goal of a lap time better than 80 seconds - 1:20. I made it to 1:19.5. Since then I've only had a handful of laps in the 1:19's. The track is getting rougher and rougher every year. I'm not sure if I can beat it but I'll try. If I get the right day...

    It's wierd. 20 years ago I wouldn't have bought an American made vehicle for nothing. Now I have an AM General, a Harley-Davidson, a Dodge and a Buick (stock car). Out of 8 vehicles I don't have any brand duplicates either. It's not intentional - it's just how it ended up. Yamaha, Suzuki...

    I'm with our people over there 100%. I went to Afghanistan just after the war started (not as a soldier....) - what a mess. It's a beautiful country but much of the infrastructure was destroyed or at least decayed. The country could use our help. I hope that every soldier we send there...

    Who wears driving shoes?

    I have a few pair. I only wear shoes at the track that are SFI rated. I don't own a pair of Piloti. Most pair are Simpson and I love them. I have wide feet and heel and toe without issues. Greg

    ACR track questions re: tire life

    I did not dyno my shocks - but I do have more than 30 years racing experience including championships (and holding the current lap record at my local track in my ACR) so I'm fairly good at setting a car up, understanding how changing the settings will change the behaviour of the car, etc. I...

    ACR track questions re: tire life

    Of course it all depends, but...... I'll guess that if you do a track alignment you'll make it past halfway through the season. The brakes will likely last the entire season. Since you're new to the track it'll be several track days before you really start using the tires. It'll be late...

    lets get this started early.....

    Next year - after they close the track. Seriously, it's the only option! G

    Will do. I should have everything late next week. 'SHOULD'. I'm getting the itch! I have no idea what I'm going to do once the track is gone in October.... Greg

    lets get this started early.....

    For every event that I've done with Vipers at Race City I hired a professional motorsports photographer. If you were at an event and would like a picture or two I can connect you. He charges - but it's more than reasonable (I only paid for him to be there). Greg
