In Car Video from Nashville Superspeedway

Well, survived Daytona! Felt great racing again. Ran with 350/275 set-up was very comfortable pushing the car the car thru the corner accelerating quicker out of the corner. bearly a hint of the back loosening. Tire are old I think I will stick with the heavy spring up frt for now. Also on the other thread about brake pads the Porterfield R-4 behaved well. The price is right so I'll be getting another set when needed still about half way two race weekends and a school rotors still look new verey dusty. Looking forward to the next race. Good luck at Barber

That's great Pablo!! Hope you saw/met Ron in the silver 260 and Jeff in the TR8. That was a FAST run group from what I have heard!!

New springs and shocks are on the way. Should have them installed by Barber. I will run 400/350 or 325/275. Depends on how the install goes since I am changing the upper perch/camber plate setup.

What size rear bar did you end up using? I am still not sure how small of a bar I can use with the new setup.

Glad the brakes worked. FWIW I am running HT-10 Hawks in front and Carbotech on the rear. You might want to try that set up some time.

Congrats on your weekend. Anytime you can have fun and bring the car back in one piece it is a good job.

Hi Paul! Yes I did meet Ron First when he blew by without sayng hi or bye, We talked for a bit in the garage nice guy Turned me on to the IT forum, Registed on last night. It was Quite a race kind of glad was behind with the civics, miatas and IT7 cars. We were having our own fun, there was never a corner by myself either chasing or been chased I would past them in the straights then they were all over both sides into the turns luckly nobody lost it.

Sat morning There was a black car locked it up going into the chicane still up pretty high in the turn I was coming behind tapped the brakes a bit too hard flat spotted r/f Hoosier R3 had alot of meat left felt real bad but did get around the car safely, a friend gave me a used set of Kuhmos 710 same size was not to sure but they worked great {would only get half the prize money if I won} HaHa. But yeah the 350/275 worked good for me just a hint of the back wanting to loosen and This was the must comfortable I ever felt I don't think I could get away with the 225/275 set up.My rear bar just went and measured 22.5 mm on the rear and 29 mm in frt they are suspension technique I got back in 89 the rear bar comes from the rear to the frt connects with heim joints and has a 3 point adjustment set on the most loose could probably go smaller. maybe with a 400/350 might be ok.

I probably have one more weekend on these frt pads. there is another race at the end of Sept back at Daytona I would like to but most likely not. Need to start thinking about Christmas coming up. But most definute the ECR in May. Maybe will try new brake set-up for then.
