ST-2 is getting crowded....
I notice the green 944 Porsche that was running GTS-5 at Road Atlanta in August has now entered into the ST-2 fray. He's fast.

ST2, you can't hide money.

I don't know about wrecking, but he does have an LSX motor in there. When did he wreck, Sunday? He passed everyone on Saturday.

I'm doing a good job of hiding it. Could be 'cause it's all used up.

No can do.
I'm going to Watkins Glen the weekend before and won't have time to come home on Monday, get my day job done and get the car ready for VIR the following weekend.
Plus, that short of time won't give me time to re-money, either.
Mac will be there. Rob Leopard, from Birmingham, plans on coming, too. I don't know TimZ06's plans, but he's a possible.
Then there's you, Ryan, and Ross. Maybe Anne. Could be a good size crowd.
Did Kaiser drop out of ST2, and concentrating only on FFC?

Yea, a very nice looking car. Trick suspension and all the goodies.
He must be adding a good bit of ballast to go from GTS-5 to ST2.

What kind of times does he run at RA?
Also there is a 250 lb max on ballast in ST.

Heck, even with the worst tune, the LS6 will still put out mid 350's RWHP.

He was running low 1:33's during the race. Passed me like I was standing still accelerating out of 5. That car has a lot more power than allowed in ST2.

Maybe he will be at RA in December. If so I will try to do a drag race with him down the back straight so see how much power that car has.

I don't know much about the guy or the car, but I talked to him briefly since he was in the garage next to me at CMP in May. He said it was only an LS1 engine but the heads were 243 castings, so it looked like an LS6 to me.
