    Joe Macura & Making A 427 Sideoiler run 7000+

    Thank you, Scott does make it look easy but in reality it is very difficult because it will break loose instantly if he is too quick on the throttle. He only got to 75% throttle twice on that run and the traction control pulled timing back to 15 Degrees BTDC when he did. There is a movement...

    Joe Macura & Making A 427 Sideoiler run 7000+

    This is a video of the last outing in November of 2018, it is well sorted here and defeated a field of the top 32 cars ranging from a brace of Warren Johnson engined tube frame Corvettes to Robby Unser with a tube frame silhouette Camaro. As a result my driver was named autoxer of the year for...

    TRAILER FOR NEW GT

    You can winch the new GT in very easily, by putting it in neutral and releasing the brake. The problem is after 30 minutes the GT puts itself in park. I use the emergency release handle for the transaxle to allow me to roll the car out of the trailer without accessing the drivers compartment...

    How about more camber for starters

    Tire pressures for track

    Newer Porsche's are 450, agree lug nut torque sounds too high especially if any lube is used.

    Tire pressures for track

    Tire construction and compound along with wheel diameter and width have more to do with ideal hot pressures than car weight. I have used different tire brands on one of my cars with hot tire pressures varying from 19 psi to 29 psi at the same location depending on tire brand. I start with the...

    More power to be pulled from the little engine that could?

    It is easy, just pull the engine, send it to Doug Yates and have him install forged Mahle pistons, a Sonny Bryant crank, Carrillo rods, E85 capable injectors and fuel system, larger turbo's, Motec ECU with a good tune, then put an Xtract gear box in and kiss your warranty goodbye.

    Faster At Le Mans: Race Car or Street Car?

    Give it a racing alignment too, that would help a bunch. One degree negative camber does not get the job done,

    Street Tires for 2017/18 Ford GT

    Be really careful about who mounts them, you do not want any wheel damage obviously. They need the very best tire mounting equipment that is available and a very experienced person doing the work.

    GTG 2017 Ford GT Aero Tunnel Screen Kit

    It sure seems like it, I tried to order and the store would not let me register so I could purchase them. Maybe they should require a serial number to buy them :) I have tried sending a private message to DBK but no answer so don't know what to do, may have to design and fabricate my own. New...

    Weird Car show behavior

    I have had similar experiences with my 1966 Cobra, it has a dead soft aluminum body and every so often some dolt knocks on it to see if it is a kit car. I usually place a big sign on it that says "Soft Aluminum Body Please Do Not Touch". I asked the last guy than knocked it with his knuckle...

    GT at the ring ??

    This has been discussed before but the Viper tires are really soft, could not complete a lap with out failing at the ring. I believe if you put normal compound tires on both cars the GT would exceed the vipers performance.

    GT at the ring ??

    How about the 720 S then almost a 2 second advantage, nobody loves the GT more than I do but the laws of physics have not been repealed to my knowledge. Weight and power matter a lot. I believe the GT has superior aerodynamics to its competition but at a venue like the Ring acceleration...

    GT at the ring ??

    Look at FGT Willow Springs Lap Time vs ACR and the ACR did not break 7 minutes.

    GT at the ring ??

    Could not agree more, GT would need to get down to 2800 lbs wet and add 100 hp to break the 6:44.97 mark. The car has the best aero out there but weight and horsepower make the difference.
