• American Classic TRANS-AM: October 12, 2012

[ChromeTuna]

Pending when this happens, I'll take the Vette.

[RickS95]

I'd rather be the caboose in a Corvette than win in something else, I'll take the C2.

Also, and I may have missed it...tire selection is open???

[Wolfpack987]

Sorry!  Hadn't laid out all the rules/specs yet.  Tires will be race medium.

Got some good interest now, looks like 13 or so people so I'll list out all the specifics for the event soon and we can start the dialogue for a date.

Current Car assignment list:

GrumpyTuna - '69 Camaro
DudeTuna - '69 Camaro
RickS95 - '63 Corvette Z06
dlrws6 - '69 Camaro
TunaPhreak - '73 Pinto
WolfpackS2k - '70 Challenger
Turbo-Tuna - '63 Corvette Z06
Revengel - '69 Camaro
LooneyTuna - '69 Camaro (or Challenger?)
RoninTuna - '69 Camaro
ChromeTuna - '63 Corvette Z06
GrilledTuna - '70 Challenger
Metal - '70 Challenger

Current car talley is 6 Camaros, 3 Challengers and 3 Corvettes.  Phreak, pick the Vette or Challenger plz

How does either October 5th or 12th sound?  Both are Fridays.  Figure an 8:20 pm practice time, followed by Qualifying at 8:40 and race start at 9pm.  Vehicle selections will have to be locked in 2 weeks prior to the race.

[RickS95]

Mrs. S95 has a birthday on October 4, so I'd rather shoot for the 12rd.

By the way, does anyone want to jump on the grenade and post a lap time?  Want to know what I'm getting myself into. 

[ChromeTuna]

I should be good for the 12th, but either works for me.

[RickS95]

I'm not sure how fast my car is, but it sounds amazing.

[RoninTuna]

12th works for me, I think. Prolly won't be at my best but October is just an odd month for me emotionally and I'll be fighting with the little one but I'll figure it out.

[Wolfpack987]

I have lap times (for each car) written down from what I was tweaking the specs to even out the cars.  I think mid 1:40s were achieved by all if memory serves me correct.  The written down times are at home of course    Both the Corvette and Challenger topped 190 on the longest straight.

[ChromeTuna]

Just to be clear, tuning is allowed, right? We just got to have the cars equipped a certain way.

[dlrws6]

I'm good either date.

And Rick I would not worry to much about being in the back.  I've spent way too much time on the ovals lately and I feel confident that I'll be the one putting around in last place. 

[RickS95]

I'm going to have to do some cipherin' when I get home.  My car feels strong, handles well, pulls hard coming out of the turns, and hits 193-194 at the start/finish, but I'm not seeing 40s.  I ran either a 41.7 or a 42.7 last night (can't remember which) and that was with 10 laps under my belt.  Can't think of any place where I can pick up a second or two.

Fortunately, I look amazing in the Corvette.   

[Revengel]

Couple-few things:

Dates...likely work (Wee Baby Shemus not withstanding).  My time was 1:45...but that was on R Hards.  I'll have to try that on R Medium tonight.

Also I saw that call on the Pinto.  If available I would like to request a '73 Vega.  Failing that I'd request a Corvair...actually I'd rather have a Corvair just on principle.


And Nader was WRONG.  That car rocks.

 

[GrumpyTuna]

 Only running mid 45's here with the Camaro. Sounds like I will be bring up the rear in this race, going on the times i have seen here. Also tires are not lasting that long for me, just my driving i guess.

Granted I kinda suck...but I can post my tune later if I remember to look when I get home.  I was getting 18+ laps on hards; have to see what happens on mediums.
