We've been working to get the TT Formula finished up to race at N vs S. You've seen the progress pics

Me made the first pass on the "local test track" near the shop at 5:30 AM saturday Then loaded up and headed for Milan.

Having no time to dyno the car yet, we made sure it was set very conservative. Verfied the wideband and boost was safe and I mounted up my wideband display in the drivers line of site just to be sure

This being Kevin's first time in a turbo car, driving an auto with a brake, and using a line lock , we flooded him with info on what to do while strapping him into the car. Of course, we've all been awake for 30+ hours at that point.

The first pass Kevin launched the car soft, and shut it down early. rolling to an 11 something at 90 MPH i think. Nothing fell off, and all was well.

After a litte intergotaion on what the car did, some talk of the wideband showing leaner than I wanted (My only advice at that point was 12.00 or higher and lift), we let the car cool.

In the mean time, ran my truck

First pass, no cool down after the 1 hour drive, manually holding the boost to 5 psi for about 150 feet.
12.6 @ 109 with a 2.0 60'
not bad for a truck
Hot lapped it, trying a little more boost off the line and higher shift points.
13.4 @ 108 with a 2.5 60'

I did run it once more after some cool down, but that resulted in a 1 wheel peel past the 1/8th mile. Was a good smoke show. Poor posi

Anyway, back to the car.

I strapped in for the next run. We figured I could watch things a little better, having a little more experience with the setup.

10.3 @ 134, leaving at ~8 psi and seeing ~14 psi down the track and 11.7 on the wideband. I was confident the car was safe as it sat, so we could concentrate on getting Kevin use to the car.

After some coaching on the launch, and playing with shiftpoints (3 speed vs my 2 speed last year)

it went
10.8x @ 134
10.3x @ 134
10.2x @ 134

Kevin has the slips for more detail later, but they are out crusing with the car right now

All in all, the crew is quite happy with how the car has turned out. It's running right in line with my setup last year at the same boost level, so we should see that single digit pass shortly. Planning to give the Extreme Mod guys someone to chase at N vs S.

 

wow those are some nice times, especially when just getting used to the car! nice times for the truck too, but when are we gonna hear something about your hawk?

oh okay so its not really ur car.. thas why u weren't driving much i see...

 

I was just "hired gun" for the one pass

We built this car for the Extreme Mod class. We're now directing our efforts to dialing in the white car, and finishing up my car for the outlaw class.

 

That car is simply awesome!!!!! Anouther great car out of the stenod shop. You guys are gonna have a blast with that thing. I have the one wheel peal show on tape. I'm laughing the whole way. Plus as you guys do I have all of the white cars passes as well. Congrats again
Paul

 

Thats awsome, yesterday was a big track day apparently.

Harlan, want to give any details on your new setup? is it going to be ready by NvS?

 

Yeah it was a local club rental.
The truck, Raj's car and Kevins car are all awesome.
I may have to convert my car from high comp to low compression and bring it to you guys for a little boost.

 

So you say your car may be ready for Outlaw Mod at N vS?

 

Guess you are a regular "Cody Sam" now Matt? Great job with the car guys

 

Hardly. Harlan's the only one that can click off a low ten second pass while typing on the laptop. Don't think Kevin's quite that talented yet.

Video's are up. http://www.stenodperformance.com/milan/MM

Congrats to the Ohio Boys for making some stellar passes in the sticky air.

 

Yep, the car was looking good yesterday. The guys have a nice combo to play with for sure. Kevin had a pretty good smile on his face.

Rick

 

Bad *** guys........ Matt Thats only at 14 psi...... how much higher you guys plan to turn it up...... u dot have to answer everything..... ill get teh info fromJoe when i talk to him tomorrow...
Kyle

 

that car is so clean looking i love white. How much more do you think this car has?

 

ALOT That was only at 14 psi......... so whens she goin back again

 

Sweet! How high do you shift it? Must have been a fun rental with all the cool cars that came out. Rick L. did you run too?

 

Uh, 'big' would be an understatement.

I guess the only way to find out is to go to their shop yourself. I don't think anyone wants to spill the beans just yet.

Congrats on the car Matt. I bet Kevin is one happy camper right now!

 

Car looked great guys. More boost and that thing is going to fly.

Thanks for inviting us up to play. Had a great time.

 

Mike,
thats great news that its going to be bigger than big.

will it be ready by N v. S??????
