Arizona, in the winter months, sees a host of packrats and woodrats searching for a place to hide from the cold and a great many like hiding in the engine compartments of our cars. They like to eat wiring and will search for a way to get inside the passenger compartment as well. I had to replace...

Try Pirelli Pzeros Same sizes as the Cups AND they have tread! :upthumbs

Anybody can enter up to the week before the event. You won't need a nav but you will be stuck in 'Touring'; 5 classes 5 mph apart between 95-115 mph with a max speed on the course of 124 MPH. The state of Nevada rents the road to the LLC hosting the event BUT they maintain legal jurisdiction...

Going back again! This time NORC the third week in may, 2017. Last fall we placed third in the 135 MPH class so we are trying 145 this time 'round. For all you Walter Mitty's out there that daydream your lives away the time has come to get off your backside and do what my Grandfather told me...

Did it again Sept 2016! This time I had a Navigator and she brought us in 0.43 seconds late for a third place finish in the 135 MPH class. HOOAH! Hope to see a few of you for the Nevada Open May 18th - 21st, 2017. #399 is in the 145 MPH class this time.

They did. At the Detroit Auto show and the LA auto show. You just missed it.

The P-Zero tires are the same size, same load rating but a much better tread wear rating (harder compound) the ambient temp restrictions aren't there but when they are cold you can still blow them off. I don't know of any tire that holds traction at low temps. Can you use Google? Perhaps you can...

Do what I did. For normal driving I have a set of Pirelli P zeros mounted on a second set of rims. The P zero's are good for 25K miles or so. When I want performance to the max I put the Michelins on the stock rims on the car and go.

Not really an update...but new video! I ran the Nevada Open Road Challenge this past Sunday once again but this time in the Grand Touring 125 mph class. Z06 # 399 PDR video: 160514 084420 00018 - YouTube

It took 6 months but I did FINALLY figure out how to get a video this large on U-Tube...56 mins long so there are places you can just skip over. My Navigator got carsick just before the narrows so I slowed WAY down. 150920 094342 00016 - YouTube The starter got us out of order at the start...

We did it! Silver State is just a memory! False start by the race timers caused a two minute delay in our start and really messed up the rally computer but our average was 99.778 MPH with a 7.2 second late arrival after 90 miles. My lovely navigator did that with just course notes and a cell...

Car prep is now done. Local Motors Harness Bar and 6 point harnesses for me and the Navigator are in, Fluids, brakes tires have been checked and my Navigator has been checked out on several trial runs on the Geo Trip rally computer. Last year, first place in this class finished within ONE...

Paul, you missed the point, buddy! Several of us were just telling a JOKE.

38 days and counting.......

I couldn't agree more. That's why I say keep mum around the Ferrari guys. Every Ferrari engine is hand built by a single engine tech. Hand built and hand fitted is better than parts open toleranced for robotic assembly.

Nah! Ever go for a 'spirited drive' early on a Sunday morning right after sunup, before the local constabulary is awake Ma and Pa kettle go out for church? Out here in the desert there are plenty of roads to no where.......:happyanim:

Don't say that particular bit of blasphemy around the Gold Chain-Red Ferrari set. They'll break out the ropes and torches and you will be hanging from the nearest lamp post before you can say "corvette".

Install a Borla stage 2 valve back system. They sound like this: Corvette C7 Exhaust System – Performance - Cat Back - Aftermarket
