Default Chin Motorsports at Barber - Sept 15-16

Only 20-something spots left.
http://chinmotorsports.com/default.asp

One of the best clubs to run with. Low car counts and lots & lots of track time.

Hope to see you there.

Yea it's me. Looking forward to my first Chin event. Guess you got your crank pulley problem squared away.

See you at the track.

Yeah, sure did...finally. Put a new ASP/Powerbond underdrive pulley on it, and had it pinned to the crankshaft so it would spin back off. I've had to chase oil leakage in other places, but I think I've got it mostly under control now. The Beast sure is fast!

Hey, if anybody is new to the track and wants to see a lap at Barber, I've got a vid here:

Loaded up the ZO6 yesterday, grabbed the brakes and rotors of the front of the FRC to throw in the trailer (since the good engine is sitting beside the car ), finish loading the trailer by Friday so we can head to Barber

Other than Friday traffic at 4:30-6 in Atlanta I am looking forward to it

It is a sold out crowd

I will be there Sunday to drive my brother Toms car to get it ready for NASA when they come to Barbers . He wants me to compete in the time trials. I think I am going to take the IS 350 out and see what she will do. David

I took the old lady's IS350 out at roebling...It did ok, but really pushed around the turns, needs a good alignment.. I only did three laps, but felt like more would burn the tires down. Was able to hang with subaru sti, evo etc.

See you guys there, looking forward to it!

PS who's got some good barber videos?
