Small world. They are good friends of mine and excellent drivers. They own Renner Motorsport not far from where you live, in Inglewood.

Their mother and father were pilot and co-pilot in Bulgaria. Due to changing regulations, they were split up because they had children together (the driver of the blue 2.5RS and the black sube shooting flames).

.... their father was killed in an accident not long afterward.


Yea. The car in question was t-boned. and only the mid-frame was bent, causing the car to be totaled. The rotors had been checked using a dye if i recall correctly which shows defects.


Yeah... that Z06 was heavily built. But in that photograph is the part of the turn called "the off ramp" where you take it way wide, cut hard and dive at a very very late apex. He was just to the point of turning the car flat.... much like I am in the third photo.

They held up amazingly. Best setup cheaper than coil overs i've driven in an Evo. I could use a rear sway though. i would have liked to be able to get the rear end out a little more than i did.

i was referring to the evo's that have substantial mods which where also running there.

not sure if they ran on the same day as the Z06.

Andrew LB

There was an Evo in the red group that was pulling 2:16 or so. We were including the mazda turn as well as the long straight.... no "bus stop". we were running counter clockwise.

I personally don't believe that any Evo at the track that day could have kept up with that Z06 even with equal drivers. It was a monster.

Andrew LB

One Evo out there was running probably 450-500whp. He was one of the fastest guys on the track. It was totally built, gutted, just two seats and a roll cage. And a beautifully built engine. He was running hoosiers as well.

A few cars were besting him, including a Z06 or two, a guy in a built Porsche GT2, and a couple others.

I'm not sure on exact times, it was just from my observation of the action.

evobeaner

was it the white one?
hard to keep pace with the stock ones. modified one worse.

Andrew LB

^^^ Nope. It was graphite gray. The owner had it parked in front of Terry's (the yellow Z06's owner and instructor) trailer by the garages.

I saw a white one out there which was very fast as well. The whole right side of the rear end was black from running so rich. lol.

cannot f****n wait to get Muellerized with some r- compounds.

I believe the graphite gray one was Dan from Speedgallery. I was there with a silver evo and hung out with another graphite gray evo owner who ran blue group and had lap times of 2:07 or maybe better.

My best was a 2:15 with a stock evo on RA-1's, mueller rear sway, bushings and alignment.

I put two wheels off coming out off the riverside sweeper going about 100 which spun me really bad. Only damage were some broken plastic clips holding the side skirt on and lower lip.

Cars were going off track left and right both Sat and Sun. Barfly went off track today during a session in the rain. I spun too, but not bad.

The grip is amazing compared to the 615's. There were times that I knew I would have spun if I had the 615's, but the RA-1's just stuck.

evobeaner

good to hear that. hope to see you guys in the future.
by then my car should be properly prepared to haul ***
