tholt29 Posted September 14, 2009 Share #61 Posted September 14, 2009 I didn't manage to get any pics... I was busy trying to figure out how to control a mountain of boost coming out of 4 tires! Here's a link to one of the photgraphers who snapped off a bunch of FP. You can even see a few of the one run my car made.http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2009_scca_tirerack_solo_nationals/fp/Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fp280z Posted September 14, 2009 Share #63 Posted September 14, 2009 West course, my fastest run. Would have put me in third place for the day right behind Toby for the day but I coned it. Awesome course!http://www.vimeo.com/6573605It looks like vimeo squeezed it to 4:3 but you can download the original file to see it in 16:9.-Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andydando Posted September 19, 2009 Share #64 Posted September 19, 2009 I just wanted to chime in and say I enjoy the success of the guys driving the Z cars at the SoloII nationals.What can you say about John T. (he's a schlub is'nt he.) I might see you guys in a year or two when my kid turns 16.We race go karts right now and he's real fast.Have fun racing.Andy Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted September 25, 2009 Share #65 Posted September 25, 2009 John C, Now I know where Toby got his go fast advice from. You can stop giving it to him, he's fast enough!! Seriously he drove very well and he's a super nice guy to boot. I got a bit lucky this year so I am going to have to sharpen the ole skills to stay ahead of Toby and Mark and Tom and ...........Being fast at this level has more to do with the driver then the car. I can't help there because I'm a mid pack guy at best. I just take credit for helping Toby make a platform that stay's out of the driver's way and let's talent shine. I'm sure if you two traded cars the results would be the same - this year talent won.BTW... Did you have to get a bigger shelf to put all these trophies on? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted November 2, 2009 Share #66 Posted November 2, 2009 Toby wanted me to let you folks know he's pulled another 100lbs. out his BMW... and its coming into my shop in a few weeks to see if we can come up with some other go fast ideas.:bulb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tholt29 Posted November 2, 2009 Share #67 Posted November 2, 2009 I suggest you find another 50 lbs to remove. I'm pretty sure he was about 130# over, so that will be just right!Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted November 2, 2009 Share #68 Posted November 2, 2009 We're trying. Unfortunately there's a lot of extra sheet metal on these 3 series to make room for back seats. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted November 12, 2009 Share #69 Posted November 12, 2009 40 click rebound adjustable inverted Penske 8300s with custom sunken top mounts going into the back of Toby's 325. He's also working on some one-off front shocks that will retain full travel for a car a lowered as his. Toby also just dropped off the rear subframe for some additional work.If Toby can't out drive John T, he'll out engineer him... :-)BTW... the R75 Hoosiers are really fast.

tholt29 Posted November 12, 2009 Share #70 Posted November 12, 2009 C'mon, John! Don't taunt him! If you tell JT the bar is getting raised he might go out and actually drive a several events prior to Nationals. Even worse, he may very well try and make HIS car faster and that's just bad news for everyone else.... but then again, I've been trying to sneak up on him for years. Maybe psychological warfare is the way to go!Tom(Permanantly 4th place) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Coffey Posted March 18, 2010 Share #71 Posted March 18, 2010 If you tell JT the bar is getting raised he might go out and actually drive a several events prior to Nationals.Looks like John's doing just that and kicking arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
