Glad you had a good time. I didn't attend, I hope to be ready to run the weekend of the Tribute in two weeks. The red 911 that hit the wall is in my class. We often run together and are usually very competitive with each other. He's a good guy and a good driver. I've never worried when we were in tight quarters trying pass each other. That must have hurt. It's usually the walls on the banking coming out of two that worry me more than the infield.

Drew, yes that driver is a nice character, we garaged near his red 911.We were wondering why it took so long for his return from the run group, then we heard the bad news about the mishap.
We should be up at Willow/ Tribute also, Matt and I will be with the Aase Motors folks, doing pit duties. Marty |

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!
Keep an eye on the PCA rules. I believe in 2008 they will not allow harnesses with stock seats. And the passenger must have the same configuration safety equipment as the driver. I'll be working my 2.0 this weekend at Pocono... |

I was looking at the interior picture and noted the shoulder belts go around the headrest of your stock seats. I would recommend getting a chest strap that connects both shoulder belts together so your sholders will not pull out if you have an impact. This happened to a driver of a VW Bug at an HSR West race at Willow Springs a few years ago and his belts went around the top part of his seat. When he T-boned the Datsun his shoulders came out and he hit his face in the steering wheel, very hard. His strap was behind the seat where a VARA tech had told him to install it as he was too tall for the regular seat belt slots to work!

ouch. I would recomend race seat for competitive driving. It allows you to use your hands and arms to drive rather than holding on for dear life. my car is in CS and I had a hard time staying in teh seat in teh corners. she sticks sooo good on Victorracers. with the Hoosiers, I ended up in teh passenger's seaton hard lefties

Eventually we will do a solo racing seat. My kid needs to drive this to high school daily, so I want it kinda stock looking for now. The bolsters down in the seat are fabricated SS sheet metal, then worked around with stiff foam and upholstered in German vinyl. The butt stays put pretty good--I agree nothing beats a dedicated race seat--this will do for this season.
The euro P/C s go in for 2008, should be a rocket at 115 bhp (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Marty |
