It was fun being on track with this car in my first session, but I no power to compete by the time we could dice it up. In the corners we seemed dead even and even through the uphill esses, but by the time I reached the back straight my car was done. He checked out.


Great pics, nice car, good times.

 

Just met Whit this weekend, but he seems like a trustworthy guy. He said he was making just shy of 400 whp on AMS's dyno. What was his weight? Don't forget the adjustments when factoring the power/weight.

Today's race, I wouldn't say he 'ran into the lead Porsche', unless you're talking about a different incident than what happened in the upper esses. I watched most of the race from the bridge and he was leading that Porsche for a good bit (he had pole IIRC). Somewhere in the middle of the race the Porsche got by (maybe on one of his offs?) and Whit was chasing him down to get 1st back. One lap they came into that first left in the esses and he got bonked off at the following right. I couldn't really tell if he turned into the Porsche or if the Porsche turned into him, but they were both assessed one point for the contact. Whit said the Porsche driver was cool about the incident.

Anyways, sweet car. I was impressed by the 2:06.xx he put down in his qualifying. Seemed everyone was muuch faster Sunday morning.

 

As for Whit's offs, the only one I saw was in T1 and it was hilarious because I don't think the motherfucker ever lifted and he barely lost any ground while making a 400ft detour through the clay.

He got AWD, he can make that turn yo.

 

Hey thanks for the info man!
BTW did you know how he finished off st2 on sunday?
Porsche and corvette guys don't like it when they get whoooped on by a little evo
That sounds like Whit lol

 

He never caught back up to the Porsche after making contact. I don't think he fell too far back though. Not sure exactly where he ended up.

You sure you don't want to sponsor twwooo cars? C'mon the Evo vs STi combo would be awesome.

 

This car is FAST as fuck. Fallowed it from the Patriot course on the straight and then went to the Oak turn and it was hauling ass there as well. Def a nice car, sucks people were foamin' cuase it was that fast though....

Car looks good and looks like it handles really good when he was going around the turns. Like I siad, once in the straight, he was gone.

 

great results, terry.

fortune auto is .

 

I checked the ST rules and I say he's legal. Whit told me he has to keep the weight over 3201. So, 3201 lbs/400 hp = 8.0025 lbs/hp but once you take +0.4 for sedan, -0.5 for AWD, and +0.8 for 245 or smaller tires, comes out to 8.7025 lbs/hp

As long as he doesn't come in under weight and isn't turning up the boost, that's right on the money for the limit.

 

Sooo why was the main harness anywhere near where the front tire could damage it? That sounds like a major oversight for a car that has obviously been race prepped with otherwise good attention to detail from what I've seen.

 

yep you are correct, it was a major oversight
That harness should have never been hanging there like that. I am surprised it did not get damaged earlier.

I was a little dissapointed that something so stupid like that was overlooked.
