    Laguna Seca Sound Limti

    Since an ACR set the lap record at Laguna I presume that a stock ACR ('08) will meet the sound requirements for that track. It's a LONNNGGGG way for me to travel just to be turned away. So I'd just like to confirm that a stock ACR will meet the sound limits at Laguna. Can anyone confirm...

    Dec. Driving

    I took the ACR for a drive yesterday - Dec. 10th. I'm certain the car is responsible for dozens of neck injuries. This time of year a car like the ACR is a rare site on the mean streets of Calgary - and man, did it attract attention! I'm sure the Queen riding a moped naked wouldn't have...

    TRACK RECORD!

    Last year (2010) I set the production car track record at my local track - Race City Speedway in Calgary. My time was 1:19.5. I had set a goal for myself of a lap at less than 80 seconds - 1:20. I achieved that by 1/2 a second. I was absolutely overjoyed! Race City will be destroyed at...

    Crashed Vert

    Did someone crash a black vert this morning? I had a call that someone saw a black vert that was 'bent in the middle' on a flat bed. She said there was no apparant crash damage other than the bent frame. I expect the car probably went off the road and hit a big enough bump that it bent the...

    SPOTTED Calgary ACR

    On the weekend I saw a red black (red wheels too - maybe a Laguna Edition) ACR. I saw it very briefly going the opposite way from me. I saw it on MacLeod Trail, it was sad. It's like a race horse giving kiddie rides at the fair - an ACR driven only on the street just isn't right. Does it...

    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...

    ACR – Shocking Black Hole

    Jon B ROCKS! About a month ago I put together a Viper event in Calgary. Everything went well, but on the road portion of our event I ‘blew’ a rear shock on my ACR. I did the rest of the event in my Miata – sad.:( I went to my local dealer (that I can strongly recommend! – Renfrew...

    Cleaning 'Marble' Marks From Paint

    I track my car regularly and since I'm the fastest car at my local track I'm always catching guys and getting sprayed with marbles. They've left streaks all over my car. Is there a way to clean them off without using a polisher? If I can use some product with a cloth or maybe a particular...

    Drove The ACR Yesterday - WINTER!

    My new garage is done! I'll post pics in the next few days but it meant that I could move my car into the new space. It was being stored at my buddies place in Arbour Lake (Calgary) and I live in Lake Bonavista - so basically I needed to drive it across the entire city. I drove it down...

    You Know You're a Canadian When...

    I took my Miata (I know, I know) to the car wash today. It was about -10C when I went. It was lined up! When I pulled into the wash bay I literally had to steer around some monster fender bergs from the car before me. Then when I started washing the car the water just froze on the paint...

    Lap Time - I'm So Freak'n Happy

    A few of you are aware of this but..... Last year 4 friends and I set lap time goals for this year - thought to be the last season ever for Race City. We recorded our goals in a secret place then got to work. It was thought that since I was at the 'pointy end' that my goal was the most...

    Race City - SAVED!!

    Guys, As ya'll know the track is the only place to fully experience a Viper and with the pending closing of Race City it's been a sad forecast for Viper owners and anyone with gasoline in their blood. The good news is that city council yesterday voted to let the track live until 2015 - 5...

    Drivers Side Stripe Touch-up

    I have a black ACR with the drivers side stripe. Unfortunately the stripe in the rear wing took a rock hit on the highway on Sunday. The wing is mostly clear coated except for the drivers side stripe - and that's where the chip is. I want to use touch up paint until I can get the chip...

    ACR T-Shirt

    My friends made this killer t-shirt for me. They created the graphics and even included the number that I put on the car for track days. The graphics were put on the shirt at a t-shirt shop and the stripe was painted on afterward. The shirt is 1 of a kind and no copies will be made. So no...
