Congrats on the MPH!

I stopped by and snapped a few quick pics on Saturday but didn't want to distract the LMR guys by talking too much and kept quiet. I didn't know there would be so many LS1tech members. I talked to a few guys here and there, but it looks like there were many more I'd like to have met.

Was reminded of two things this weekend: The sun really burns you after 10 hours with no sunscreen, and a mile is a long *** distance to walk. I'll at least bring a bicycle next time!

RC..I understand where u are coming from with the car situation.. Sometime it's better to get out of it and cut your loss...I had to do that with my race car too...


Send me infos where to send u a check..
I can resolve this:

RCC if you don't want/need the check then Duy you can go ahead and send it to me. I could really use the xtra $

There any big dog porsche cars out there? Glad to hear LMR put up a strong number. At the end of the day it still goes to show this platform is at a handicap over some of the others no matter what you do to them.

You kidding? He went 239 on 20's @ 15psi. It may not be the best platform, but thats pretty damn impressive.

LMR best bring their car back in October.

I want to see if they can best 246. Hell, it would be crazy if they could go over 250.

Speaking of which. How fast did the UGR Lambos go?

I'm sure that LMR camaro is going to be an absolute beast next time it is at the mile. 239 is crazy on street tires & 20's is crazy.
