    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    I was texting... I'm glad you got to watch from the stands but I bet you wished you were out there with me. Next time you can ride bitch if you like. If you'd been in the car with me, maybe I'd had plenty of grip on that right rear tire... :)

    Well, I'm going to miss Pocono and Miller. I'm likely to miss Spring Mountain too but we'll see... Be careful! :)

    Me too. Is your car ready?

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    Ok, with club sports start of with the settigs on 3 on compression and rebound and 170 PSI on the canister pressure. You can adjust from there once you get the car on the track. I put in a Cobra Evolution S race seat in my car. Cobra Seats. Test one out and see if you like it. It's a tight fit...

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    Oh, also make sure your canisters have nitrogen in them. I had that problem when I first had the motons installed. The canisters were empty and I pretty quickly damanged the shocks and had to have them rebuilt. Put about 165 to 175 lbs in the canisters to start with and then you can tweak from...

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    Springs are cheap. I don't know how you drive (other than you like to roll it from time to time :)), but I'm betting you'll need heavier springs especially if your wing and splitter are close to as functional as my setup from Woodhouse. Once you have your motons on, then think about how the...

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    BTW, I don't know how efficient your wing/splitter is, but my guess is 700/1000 springs aren't enough. I had 900/1100 on my '06. I had a World Challenge comp coupe wing and a comp coupe splitter on mine.

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    I had an '06 coupe. Bob Woodhouse put on a wing/splitter. See here: http://www.woodhouseperformance.com/shoppingcart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=17&cat=Aero+Package. It made substantial improvements in handling and decreased my lap times by 4 or more seconds depending on the track. Personally...

    I've not weighed my wheels/tires. BTW, what car do you have?

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    The track is a lot of fun but there are some places that can bite you. Turn 8 is one of them. :) Regarding tire sizes... The Archers have been doing this a long time. Tommy told me a year ago to stick with 335 rear and 305 front. I actually run 315 front but the diameter is the same. He said...

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    So, what car do you have? I assume it must have a roll cage? Do you have links to pictures you mentioned. Sounds interesting.

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    Ouch! Maybe, but I didn't do the roll maneuver and back onto my wheels. Great trick. Can you do it again? :) Well, you seemed to be alright. What about the car?

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    Hey there, Dave. Well, you know, I was never in fear of my safety. I remember clearly while I was sliding toward the wall yelling profanities saying to myself, "Damn! This is going to be expensive!" and I was right. :) BTW, missed you at Hallett. I assume we'll see you at Spring Mountain?

    Fergy's crash at Hallett and Viper Cup Race videos

    I think 18s are the preferred wheel size on the car. I think going 19 on the rear for the X was a mistake but what do I know. :) Too much rake causes the rear end to come around. I'm running about 1/8" to 1/4" rake. Almost flat. If I go more, the back end gets happy. The X cars in the cup series...

    I was happy that I found that song. I hope I don't have to use it again, but at least it fit the moment. :)

    Wow. Lots of replies. I'm not used to that. :) Thanks for the nice comments. I was expecting "Dumb Ass" or something like that. :D Anyway, the car went into the shop a week ago on Monday. I've purchased a new hood, front bumper cover, right rocker panel, and rear bumper cover. The right rear...

    I forgot to post here but thought you may find my crash fun and interesting. I also have a video of the Saturday Viper Cup Race. Both videos can be found here: YouTube - ViperFergy's Channel.

    Barber Motorsport race report

    I'm getting lazy. Here's what I've got for last weekend. This race was at Barber Motorsports in Leeds, AL and was a combined event with NARRA, Viper Days, and PBOC (Porsche BMW Owners Club). The PBOC guys are great to run with, by the way. The drive down to Barber Motorsports was eventful...

    Viper Days at Motorsport Ranch

    I don't post on the VCA forums much (mostly because I don't want the entire planet of Viper owners to hate me for something stupid I might say) but here are some of my videos from the Viper Days event at MSR Cresson. - Saturday race practice - Saturday qualifying - Sunday 1-hour...

    Thanks Mark Jorgenson:) HPT pics

    Wrecked ACRs? They're everywhere, right? :) Actually, Ben Keating (Port Lavaca Dodge) bought the car from a friend of mine, repaired it, gutted it, sent it off to Archer Racing for the roll cage and fuel cell, and then the car was taken back to Port Lavaca to be completed as a race car. Wrecked...

    Thanks Mark Jorgenson:) HPT pics

    It's stock with ballenger headers/cats, K&N air filter (woo hoo!), and MOPAR race computer. It's running on Hoosier R6 slicks (315/18 front and 335/18 rear) on Forgeline race wheels. It's a 2008 ACR that was wrecked late last year by another member (i won't mention the name) and was rebuilt as a...

    I've posted my in-car video. Not much but at least it's a view of the track.

    Thanks Mark Jorgenson:) HPT pics

    Re: Thanks Mark Jorgensen:) HPT pics Good picture of my car. Can you send the original to me? It's car #43 or picture #5 in your list. My email is [email protected]. The car was wrapped by Skinz so it's not paint on the car. BTW, car #13 was Bob Woodhouse in his Woodhouse Performance...

    Woodhouse Performance - New Wing/Splitter

    Thanks for the info. I've turned on smoothing although I didn't see a lot of difference but I'm sure there must be. I'll send you a PM with the same data I sent Dan. I was runing Hoosier R6 315s up front and 345s back. I would imagine that the ACR splitter is tougher because it's made for a...

    Woodhouse Performance - New Wing/Splitter

    I sent you a PM just now with the Pbox files, circuit file, and a KML for Google Earth. My Pbox fits in the shield right in front of me so I can easily see it and press buttons on it if needed. I like the split times because it gives me an idea if my current lap is faster or slower than my...
