Thats "Flat Spots"

Anyways, that is still a nice shot

 

Actually only the right rear has a noticeable flat spot, probably because it was the most loaded corner. There 10 heat cycle r1's, so no big deal, already past their prime grip.

 

Film from our last competition, enjoy:

 

2nd place Speed SF Challenge TA: 1:41.577 lap

 

Hey Jon, Great Vid & great time. On SoCalEvO it shows Zhongs time at 1:47. Thats a large margin
How did you do that?

Joe

 

I posted the same thing on FB LOL. Jon destroyed Zhong's time.

 

Me and Zhong talked about it yesterday,

1) He had 350whp and i have 400whp
2) I could go WOT by T5-T6 sound tower because i have a laguna pipe on my car
3) I have a bit less weight (3140 vs 3300)
4) Other various factors.

if Zhong had more time there and was driving my car no doubt he would beat my time. He is a better driver than I with a lot more experience, he actually gives me a lot of advice and coaches me. I send him my videos whenever i have new ones and he gives me advice on lines.

Also if he would stop blowing up his car that would drop his times too

 

he was letting off for the sound station? ooooooooh. that would do it.

so, they are no longer having the sound guy ride around and test from different places on the course?

 

Thanks Jon

Never driven Laguna so was not that familiar w/the times. Saw the Vid of Justin running w/John Mueller in the 1:36's.
I was just a Fontana runner & Zhongs times there were not touchable by me at my level
You still did a very, very respectable time & proud of you guys representing the EVO community well

Joe

 

yup! my car is definitely a sub 1:40 car, Easily. need more seat time and driver mod. Not bad for only having 2 days at laguna seca though

 

nope, its fixed from T5-T6 straight at 90db.

 

well, that's a relief. good to know. just in case

 

 

Cool to see this thread I started still going strong and one of my favorites on the site.

Sad day, but I'm selling my car to another local track junkie. I' haven't had it out for a while and its time to move on. He is going to have a blast with it.

 

Yep saw the for sale thread posted on FB. Glad to hear it's going to a good home
