Track day sponsored by a local ford dealer. I'm in one of the few GM cars (two camaros, one corvette) that showed up.

From the link:
Cost is 125K- ??? The price varies depending on parts used. The one above is 150,000 USD

It is a SERIOUS six figure car and <excuse mode = ON> I was on dead dead tires and my best lap still had traffic <excuse mode = OFF>.

We are back at TWS next month with narra and I should be on fairly fresh tires and we'll see if I can get in front of him in my 25k hooptie (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) . NARRA is an 'honor system' as far as tech. They *do* weigh cars, but they have to believe whatever dyno they are given. I'm pretty sure he was on fresh michelin slicks both days. Driver is no slouch for sure, and I'm hopeful he shows up again and I'll wrangle some time to go check out the car a lot closer.

I'm still on my original camshaft that my engine builder laughs at. It was the smallest cam that he figured would work with my heads/intake. I am pondering stepping up a bit on the camshaft (65-85hp easily, over 100hp if we went big) but not sure I'll have the time/money to do it. Scratcher really does not make that much power, it is just fairly light with big tires and good mech and decent aero. Aero will get an upgrade later in 2013 or might get pushed back to 2014 depending on other projects.

Ya'll look at www.narraonline.com for the 2013 schedule. These folks have been great to run with and they have w2w, tt and hpde!

Redneck challenger to race in Texas.

R U Faster Than a Redneck TV show challenger Jeremy Rohrs and
South Side Performance to debut in Whelen US TimeTrial Championship at NARRA's Texas World Speedway event, Feb 15-17.

Jeremy Rohrs and his South Side Performance (SSP) team will take on the might of American muscle in rounds 1 & 2 of the 2013 Whelen US TimeTrial Championship at Texas World Speedway, Feb 15-17, in what he calls the "perfect preview" to his appearance in Speed Network's new show, R U Faster Than a Redneck.

"This will be a taste of what to expect from the show. Imports and exotic European machinery up against the best the US has to offer, but in the case of the Whelen USTTC we're talking some seriously fast Vettes and Vipers," said Rohrs.

"I will be driving the exact same car at TWS, South Side Performance's 540whp 2010 Nissan GT-R with the exact same setup and power level as it was on R U Faster Than a Redneck."

Hosted by comedian Jon Reep the new TV series debuts Feb 22, the Friday following the Whelen USTTC event at Texas World Speedway.

Shot at Carolina Motorsports Park, which will be visited by the North American Road Racing Association's Whelen US TimeTrial Championship May 3-5, the show pits domestic hot rods against custom imports. Similarly themed, the Whelen USTTC is open to all high performance road and racing cars and features marques such as BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, and Subaru against Corvette, Camaro, Ford and Viper.

I R Fastar Than a Redneck!

Here I thought you'd fit right in with the redneck aspect of all this... Or did you mean to say that you are faster than some other redneck? That must be what you meant... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Don't miss a Special Preview of R U Faster Than a Redneck. Friday, February 22nd after the NCWTS Daytona race!

I'll have to look for this on my DVR!
