914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Red Neck Racer Takes TTOD

Posted by: Joe Ricard Jun 5 2005, 08:20 PM

To bad I wasn't driving it, I coulda used the Cup points.
My Hot shoe co-driver made 5 runs and got WAY faster every run. He figured out how to shift by run #5.
Very fast course. Like top of 3rd gear on the rev limiter.

So I took the rotor out and swapped in a regular one. That did it... 1 more second out of the car. I seen 75 + MPH when I rode with this guy. He never lifted through a box designed to slow you down!!!!!!!!!! SM-2 has a pretty high pax so winning that is a major accomplishment.

This car rocks and the owner/driver still sucks. 4 seconds back on raw time + a bunch of cones..

Lancer EVO was the next closest Raw time 2 seconds. (TTOD last 3 events) He was pissed.
Couple dozen Miatas
04 Mustang Cobra, and WS6 Trans am in ESP
the spattering of S2000 Hondas
and every STS car you can think of close to 60 cars total

Congrats Joe, like Andy said, now you know the potential of your car.

Now, KEEP YOUR FOOT IN IT, gas or brakes...

My friend is now looking for a car. He has driven most everything that shows up for these events. He says well most of the cars are pretty cool. But this one is flat ass amazing. Now he wants one. Thinking about kicking the stripper into high gear and get it racing. Sell him the red neck racer for cheap.
Prolly be pretty cool to drive the stripper.
