Default New Foot Prints

Well, finally after making some time to work on the car rather than drive it and a little creative inner fender lip massaging with a little a-arm clearancing my GTO will leave two new foot prints at the track. The Bogarts fit oh so nicely and appears that I will have zero rubbing issues except for a tad on the passenger side shock tube.. no big deal really since it'll be mainly on the launch...



Now to find the time to make it to the track and put this new wheel set-up to use!! I better see 10.80's this season!!!

ok... that would be a fun race I think! We'd push each other to drive the hell out of the cars....


At the beginning of the season I made a thread about a track rental for the Eastern Guys.. didn't get many responses, so it never happened. Last year a bunch of us did a rental in Sept.. which was a great time and I learned how to drive my car.. LoL Can't wait to get back up there and get kicked out again!

The eastern section is full of too many keyboard racers, rather than people who actually like racing. The turn-out for track days confirms that.

The tires look good, make sure you post up before you go, I'll try to make it.

Right on guys.. I'm waiting for a Saturday to free up, without a cookout, party, wedding, baptism or birthday to attend. My buddy is working on a trailer and my brother just ordered a new drop hitch for his truck for me...

Still not soon enough my friends... but I will get there and let you all know!

Thanks Matt. I'm hoping they get the job done this season but I have to actually make it to the track for that

Have you raced your GTO yet?

Not anytime soon man. I saw Marco's car a couple of weeks ago, and that's the closest I've been tempted to go out and buy something.

I've never gotten the GTO to the track quite yet. It's stock down to the airfilter. It really needs a full Slowhawk tune. Maybe someday I'll buy EFILive & do some logging & Don could tune it by email.
