• American Classic TRANS-AM: October 12, 2012

[Wolfpack987]

I'm...alive!  I tell ya, these 9 day long vacations really take their toll 

Anyways, I need to start practicing for this soon!

And could anybody that hasn't chimed in please state whether or not October 12th works for them please???

Also, how do we add this evnet to the Tunas calendar?

Lets try and turn some laps this weekend.

I know I was away at the beach all last week but...I'll be down at Myrtle Beach this weekend   So I probably can't practice for this till Monday.  Then I can focus on GT some more until my next trip, on the 29th, lol

Myrtle is over rated and prone to kicking fits.

[Wolfpack987]

Oh I'm no great fan of Myrtle Beach.  But its where a friend of mine decided to hold her weekend beach birthday party.  So Myrtle is where I will be.

Last week I was down at Hilton Head, where your sig pic was taken

I'm not sure exactly when yet but I'm pretty sure I'll spend some time this weekend practicing.  If I recall correctly I think I was only in the 1.46s my last test session.

Hit me with a pm and we can try and meet up.

I got one question.

In the race are we using the short pit exit or the long one?

[GrumpyTuna]

   That is a good question!

[Wolfpack987]

hmmm, I never thought of that.  Is their an advantage to either one?  I usually do short.

I plan on practicing tonight if anyone is interested in joining.  I'll be in my lounge by 9pm.

Having cars shoot out into turn 1 makes it a scarier corner than it already is.

I'll have you know, I can shoot out of either exit!

LMAO

Yeah, Wiz that's what I kind of figured.  Given the low grip nature of these cars I think it will be best to use the long exit and leave turn 1 free of slow moving vehicles.

If I may participate, I'd like to try the '63 Vette Z06 ... may switch to Z28, but I'll start with trying the Z06 first.

[Wolfpack987]

You are certainly welcome to join!  Try to make that Z06 work for you as we already have plenty of Z28's signed up for participation!

I ran about 20 laps last night with Phreak in the Challengers and our best times were 1:44.6-1:44.7s.  10 laps per set of tires is a stretch but seems possible if you don't have any spins.  9 is more realistic in a race setting I think.  And this was with the Challenger which I would assume is the least tire friendly of the group (highest hp, highest weight).

That was my thinking as well .... I know I can get the Z28 to go, but variety is what makes something like this lotsofun. 

[Wolfpack987]

Agreed!


Good deal!!  Now if everyone shows up that says they will that puts us at 14 participants!  Of course in reality I will be thrilled if we have at least 10 when the green flag drops
