It would be great to use some of these for the Drift but it does not appear I can download them from your site.
Yes, you can download any of the pics. Find one that you want, and get the largest size by clicking on the "full size" link in the upper right corner. Then download the pic by right-clicking on it at selecting "save picture as" or "save image as".
Got 'em. Lookin' good!

BOOYAH! On the 240Z!!

Nice shots! and Nice Car.

We really wanted to be there.

Hey - how fast did the Camaro do on the back stretch, and did he make the chicane? This track is perfect for the long legs and HP of the Camaro.

From the passenger seat I think I saw 120......in the rain (no rain tires). :shock:

Must have been 135 in the dry.

Made the bus stop every time. 8)

Jake did a great job. Newly licensed and first time at this track.

That's why I didn't ride with you in your 2nd session on Sunday. :o

That car needs better seats!

yeah it does les, the pro cars are junk and have been since they came out of the box, i am ordering up some sparcos.
yeah i wanted you to go the 2nd time so i could get 6 and 1 better, that and flat foot it from one to the braking zone for the bus stop,lol never did also breathed the throttle on turn into 2 and 3, then flatt foot from 3 on thru the rest of the esses, to the straight.
the other car i am building will be more fun, stickier tires, more cage, more motor :twisted:

I have never had to shift to 6th on the back straight until my first lap of the time trials. It figures to be a tad over 130 in the GG. Unfortunately, when down shifting to 5th, then 4th, the clutch release cylinder popped an end cap (cheap plastic junk!). Rest of the ride was trying to find 4th and 5th without eating up the tranny. The results ended up being 8 seconds (!) slower than last year.
:evil:
New cylinder on order, hope to have it in on Saturday.
Oh, add that "my clutch release cylinder failed" to the list! :D

Glad you found the problem,Sam.Most cars today use a lot of plastic in areas that I would not. Even my Dodge Cummins/stick had plastic master/slave components till I upgraded them.
What was wrong with push rods and transfer bars?Adjustable, and good forever.Guess that was the problem; forever. I sure miss simple mechanicals. :cry: Oh well..progress!

You are right! I missed the whole first session on Tuesday putting brake pads in and only got 4 laps at speed, so I was in shock when the limiter kicked in in 5th! At 51,000 miles the GG just keeps putting out the ponies! I will try to make up for it at Tremblant. My goal will be under 2 minutes. In the mean time I have Raj's wheels and tires ready to post on eBay!
