The start of Sunday's American Iron race. Desalvo's blue S197 was running AIX. Landon Ball and I had a great battle for several laps. We both bested the old lap record at Road Atlanta of 1:35.8. He ran a 1:35.3 to my 1:35.1. I qualified on the pole, but got caught sleeping at the start, and fell back to third early. Jo Lee pointed me by on the back stretch (he was down on power all weekend with engine woes) and then the battle between 3rd and 4th gen was on!
Landon and I both took advatage of the new HP/weight ratio for non ABS cars (neither of us were running ABS to start with). He added aero over the winter and lost some weight and cut nearly 2 seconds off his personal best at Road Atl! I went to a close ratio 4 speed, new rear gear and a 7.25" clutch and lost another 100lbs bringing my post race weight to ~2930. Enjoy the Vid! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgEPBB9J0dU |

Thanks! It got real exciting once under the bridge. I've got the tire marks on my door to prove it! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif) |
