I wish I were going to be there but a blown engine:( at VIR in October blew any chance at the championship. So the funds that were going to pay for finals are going to pay for a new engine. I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. BUT AS THEY SAY THAT'S RACING. See you all next season.:2tu:
We ran the Super Sport on our One Lap car this year and they were fabulous. By the way we finished on the podium 3rd place out of about 60 cars with a 3rd place in class. The first American car on the podium in the last five years. And yes the pervious American car was a Viper also. They lasted...
A really stupid amount of money. But this is what you get. And if you build it right you get to run the One lap of America and end with a podium finish. The repaint was done by PREFIX, yes the company that paints all the new Gen V cars. The is affectionately known as an ACR XXX.
I would stick with the 1-4 stock gear ratios with 4.5 replacement for 5th gear and leave 6 alone. Otherwise you will find you are going to have to shift more then you want too. I have a 3.36 with a Quaiffe and I still find my shift points are much sooner than with the stock 3.07. That being...
It depends on what ratio you have in the rear end. You might be hurting yourself with top end. If the tracks you are going to are short tracks and you don't need a lot of top end then the close ratio will work but if you need top end the close ratio might cost you speed as you will run out of...
I have had a Rockland Standard Gear TRANZILLA in my race car for 3 sesaons and I LOVE THIS GEAR BOX. It shifts better than anything I've ever driven the 4.5 gear replacement (FOR 5TH GEAR) makes a HUGE difference on the race track. I have also had the stock box rebuilt in my street car and...
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=604312516264051 The One Lap beast prefromed very well at VIR last weekend. Saturday was great, Sunday not so much. It started raining with sleet then the snow started so we packed it up but not before I got a killer video of Tom coming down the front...
We unveiled our One Lap of America 2008 SRT 10 VIPER last Thursday at Prefix Coatings. The paint job on this car is truly unbelievable. This car belongs on the show car circuit, not on a race track. But, alas, it will be on VIR this coming weekend. We hope to get to most of the One Lap tracks...
Mark,
Thank you for the complment. The fix wasn't too bad We had the car back on the track the following weekend at Road Atlanta testing the new Pirrelli tires. We have done a lot to the car to "wake it up" over the off season. Last year we were in GT-2, this year GT-1 which opened up some...
If anyone is in Auburn Hills, Mi. this Thursday 3/14 @ 10:00AM, stop by Prefix Coatings. Yes the company that is painting all our new snakes;
WHERE: PREFIX Corporation 3500 Joslyn Rd. Auburn Hills, MI 48326

You will be there to witness the unveiling...
Pirrelli is indeed the tire sponsor for the USGT championship this year at NARRA events. The tire contingency format has been taken directly off the email I recieved this morning.
Tuesday, February 26, 2013. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pirelli, JX2 Performance Group and...
Hello Viper Friends, Just an FYI. As some of you may already know, my co-driver Tom Drewer & I will be fielding a "slightly" modified 2008 SRT 10 VIPER Coupe in this year’s ONE LAP of AMERICA. We are using this year’s event to promote FORGE AHEAD USA. Forge Ahead is the first national...
I am already signed up and bringing two cars. The race car and testing the One Lap car. Will be GREAT FUN. Got to watch the F1 race now I get to play on what has been said to be one of the finest tracks in the world. Another track off the bucket list.
Funny, I spent all weekend with the NARRA staff at the PRI show, up until Sunday @ 12:00 PM and no one had confirmed "Sebring IS being added to the schedule" as of that time. I am waiting to hear directly from the staff on this matter. I will post as soon as it is truly confirmed.
Guys, there is no cut and dried rules for tire replacement but the exerpt from Hoosier above is VERY good. If you are getting 20 heat cycles out of A6's & R6's you guys are luckier than I am. I use R100's on my car and they are basically junk after 6 heat cycles. Any body that tries to get 20...
The last few times NARRA has made the trip out west the attendance from west coast people was TERRIBLE!!!!!. You guys always talk a big story about wanting NARRA to come out west then when they do you don't show up. Why not make the trip to TWS in February and lobby for west coast event...
Now that didn't take long for you to put this up. Your enclosed quote confrims what many have been thinking that the ACR-X's will run right along with the USGT races and just have their own class in our normal races. Which also implies that the standing starts are gone and will be rolling...
Remember if you use the ACRX rotors, they are thicker than stock two piece rotors which means you have to use ACRX pads which are thinner and will not last as long. Just go with two peice rotors IE: BREMBO and that way you can use good race pads that are thicker and less expensive than X pads...
I will be at PRI myself and it may be out just before that.
Steve, Thanks, actually it was back to back to back. This was my fourth championship in the last five years in GT-2. Next year I'm moving up to GT-1 where I can again play well with others. It was no fun this year having to run a...
Yes I would pay the price. I am planning on attending the F1 race in November and to think that I might be able to run on the same track next season would be a HUGE rush. We have run on some amazing tracks this season, and yes some have been more expsensive than others and believe me they are...
Tom Had interviewed me a couple of times at NARRA events for both NARRA and One Lap of America coverage and there isn't a nicer guy that ever walked around a race paddock. He was truly interested in the racing lives we lead and loved seeing people improve and get better at this sport. Not only...
Keith, My summer is quite full so I don't know about any club or other events. Definetly get some wider tires on the front, they will help a great deal!!!!! Shock adjustments will also help. If I can answer any questions send me a PM and I'll give you my numbers and we can talk. But based on...
