Looks like I ran a lot of 1:45, with a best of 1:44.38. I’m starting to analyze my stuff in Racelogic Circuit Tools 2. I know where I lost 1.5 seconds.

The car looks great. Did the body mods help with the performance and over all time or with control. You can see the rear cut out section in the one picture.
What a great view
When it is a clear day, that top of the corkscrew photo of the rear of the car goes straight to the ocean.
Regarding functionality, I hit 123.12 MPH per GPS on the front straight so I’d say I’ve lowered drag.
You can see the fender liner cut away here:
Waiting for the people who say the dragstrip is harder on your car than the road course…
One day I will ride the Phillip Island Circuit. It looks like you’re going straight into the ocean…you reminded me of that

WOW at high speeds that would be a little scary.
Inde Motorsports Ranch in Tucson is the same way. Something like 24 turns, and most of them are pretty tight/slow corners.
Me driving my RS4 about a year ago there - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufCLTtjrBBk
I still LOL when people say the 1/4 mile is harder on cars then the road course. That sucks and I dont think insurence will cover that
The car looked really solid and fast
Those fast runs at Laguna cost me 2 bent wheels. I hit a curb in T8 and T10 in my quest to use every inch of the track. Good thing they are only $500 each and not $1500 each. No wheel would have survived.
Today I went to a hot mess of a “for profit open track time company which shall not be named”. There’s no culture of safety at these events and people with no experience register for very advanced driving groups because they own a potentially fast car. It makes me feel good that I can pass all of them but it’s risky AF.
Here’s some 1:57 laps, with a couple of Audi R8 V10’s I know holding me up (1:56 would be the adjusted lap time). One of them is a supercharged 700 HP deal.

Here’s 2 corvettes and 4 mustangs that apparently aren’t very fast, and one of them crashes at the end. I had enough of that shit and went home afterwards.
Are you replacing them or just dealing with them? Does it vibrate? can a shop bang them straight?
there’s no such thing on earth as a supercharged Audi R8 that makes 700 hp. Those companies that sold those kits were lying morons.
I didn’t even know it was bent until I got new tires. Most of the damage was to the inside bevel. One was really bad and we tossed it out, though it was repairable. I kept the less bent one as a full size spare and mounted a new tire on it. Sometimes I have to end a track weekend a little early because one of the front tires cords. With the wing, the rears are getting much more of a workout (they come up to temp and pressure).
Really? Even the V10 with a blower couldnt reach 700hp. I wouldnt think thats a problem.
Didn’t they use something really small like a M90 for the V10 kits?
I dont know about every kit out there but a few of them were major fail. Its been pretty majior fail for most attempts at supercharging these NA audi motors. So far APR did ok but JHM is cleaning house with real reasuts.
These cars run so hot and then they just bolt a super hot heat source ontop of the motor and expect to not see rediculous intake numbers. One of the few companys that has since been laughed out of the market tried to post intake temp numbers from late january when the actual temps were below zero. The few issues with that were… They were posting them in july trying to make it look like the logs were from july and that even in the sub zero outside temps the blower output temps sucked hard…
