914World.com _ The Paddock _ NJ Historics 914 Fun Video - 2015

Posted by: MikeSpraggi Sep 25 2015, 04:44 AM

Video is from Sept. 20, Group 4, Race 2. Just having some fun. Unfortunately, the video is banned in 1 country .... maybe England (because of the opening song)?

Sweet video Mike.....nice driving & very consistent--I feel your pain on those 3rd/5th gear selectons....bummer. Now to figure out what's up with the loss of grip on those left-handers??

Looks like you were having fun, it is always nice to have an evenly matched car out there to race with

I have a 2.4, I think the white car has a 3.0.

Any updates on the left turn suspension?

I'd pull the front shocks and check them

Ran good at the Turkey Bowl at Summit Point, so this off season, checking the shocks, changing tires from Toyo R888s to RA1s and getting an alignment. I really am not crazy about the 888 for this car.

Mike--You'll love the RA1's--I certainly do. I got mine shaved to 4/32....just the circumferential grooves showing.....ran them all season & no cording showing....of course that may just be an indication of me not knowing how to push the car hard enough, dunno....but with them shaved you get max traction & minimum heat buildup.

So I've heard about the RA1s. Not allowed to shave in VRG, guess I'll just have to wear them down! sunglasses.gif
