Default Anyone going to AMP and/or Barber this weekend?

I'll be at AMP Friday, Sept 20 and Barber Saturday & Sunday, Sept 21 & 22. Anyone else going? If so, look me up. I'll be driving the Phadt Race Engineering Corvette. Always good to meet fellow Corvette Forum members.

Don't miss Barber with Tracks Unlimited on Oct. 5th. Advanced drivers have no point bys. One day event with 3.5 hours of track time. Jerry

David,
Nice to meet you. Thanks for the advice on the wheel interference issue. We are looking into that more this afternoon. I don't understand why this just started happening. These wheels have been used before w/ no issues. Also appreciate your time detailing your car's features to us.

Based on the speed differential when you passed me, I assume testing went well!

Good idea on bailing for Saturday. I didn't take the car out until late in "Happy Hour +15". I did have a student that kept me busy.

Glad I could help. As far as #9 it ran flawless. The car was able to turn a 1:28.8 in happy hour so I guess she is ready for the race at NOLA in 2 weeks.

I don't know the numbers but they had a good turn-out.

I won't be going back anytime soon. I was black-flagged in the warm up session for blowing a 103 bda and wasn't even full throttle. I got the diffusers installed and immediately got black flagged again for 101 dba. At that point, all I could do is refrain from any full throttle and high rpm activity but got warned for being right at the 98 dba limit.

It is a interesting track and I enjoyed the day but I would have to do some serious exhaust work to be able to run the car.

I'm at Road Atlanta w/ Chin next weekend, Sept 28-29.

PBOC will be at NOLA. As far as the car selling it is on the back burner for now. Sent you a PM.
