2300lb S2000!

[rage2]

Dunno if anyone's following the OTC, but man, the S2K is kicking some serious ass! Near stock motor, suspension work, big ass wing, beating much more powerful cars.

How is Miles and the Bugasaurus doing? I haven't been paying too much attention.

[rage2]

Last time I checked he's last in his class :(. At least he got to run, my friend's 944 turbo didn't get his motor completed in time for the events.

Quite the washer stack on the wing of that S2k. I'm surprised it hasn't gone right through the metal yet :D Too bad to hear about Miles. They did fairly well last year, surprised to hear they are doing so poorly.

Way more seat time than One Lap, for less cost and less mileage. Their website is being irritable (http://www.opentrackchallenge.com), but this is the basic schedule: http://www.flyinmiata.com/projects/OTC/default.asp

With that wing, at speed it's probably like 20/80 weight distribution!

Hey Rage2,
Are you talking about Danno?
I noticed on the overall standings so far they have him recorded as Beaver Nguyenphuc!?!??

Yep. Beaver is his co-driver. I heard Danno talk about how John Anderson couldn't get his block back to him on time, so I'm guessing that's why he's missing the events. He's probably pissed about it, so I'm not going to ask him, let him explain when he feels like it.

I'm hoping to do the OTC next year if I can get my 951 sorted.

Miles has had so many good things to say about it, it sure sounds like an event that is not to be missed :D

[Vitesse951]

I really thought about going over there next year too... and then i saw the 2 grand entry fee!

Maybe if enough of us decide to go we can rent a car hauler and save on costs, depending on classes various peopel are running in.

Just checked the latest results, and he didn't post times for the 2 Thunderhill sessions. Wonder what's going on...

I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. They must be having mechanical difficulties or something, to miss two sessions in a row.

whats the point of the big ass wing if he stripped the interior.. he should take that off to lighten himself i think

[szw]

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing.

[EstoMax]

hmm.. it IS carbon fiber actually so it prolly doesnt add over 10-20lbs

It's called downforce, something that works when you're on the track cornering at 100mph+.
