Daytona ECR

[Mazmarc63]

All this talk about crazy fast 1.8 ITA Miata's and worthless ITS BMW's got me wondering. Whos' showing up for this next test? Remember, May 1st the SIR chokes the living daylights out of the 325's. The long runs of WOT should handicap the ITA Miata much like the last test provided it an advantage.

So who's gonna be there???

I will in the #00 ITS Rx-7 with Meno. I know Mike and Kip will be there in the Miata(s), A and S??? Wansley/Cohen. Caban/Cohen??, Seck??, Flynn??, Darling??, Ells??, Garcia?? Bussler/May??

How about you Steve E.?? Been a while since I've seen you. Bring that black beast down to our 2.5 mile dyno. Kent, bring that Jeff guy with you.

Its showtime.

And the Mazda goes hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :happy204:

[zracre]

I should be there with the Teg...the mechanical stuff is almost repaired from Moroso but the body won't be...

[RacerBowie]

We'll be there giving point-bys in our 1.6 miata! :D

[orlando_wrx]

I'll be out there crewing, for the Mercedes under the control of Mike Flynn.
Can't wait to "size up" the ITA crowd as my car will be ready in about a month or so (god willing). You can get an advance viewing of my hand so it will look familiar as I wave you by all next year.

[rob22]

We will be there in "Nemo" #94 ITS 240sx.

"Bosco" Logsdon

Mike Covello

[flaboy]

talk about point bys...I'll be there with my slow ass ITC rabbit.
if i was

if i was 4 sec. a lap slower at Roebling to the front running itc car, i should be at least 10 sec a lap slower at Daytona.Straight away speed kills me and my dieing rabbit!!

But i will be having a blast anyway.

Tim
ITC #6

[charrbq]

Tim...few things in life are slower than my Honda. I was once accused of painting my car green...my response was "No, that's moss". I'll be there with bells on. This is one race that I have every reason in the world to miss, but just can't seem to. It's Daytona, it's Spring, it's too much fun. Gotta do it! Bet you a beer we have a good time. Besides, I promised you I'd be there. :wacko:

[Rob May]

Yep

[Chris Wire]

For your viewing pleasure, the Junktech Racing #58 Honda CRX will be in attendance piloted by David and myself.

Looking forward to it with great anticipation. Haven't raced since Labor Day, need to shake the cobwebs off. Last enduro at Daytona in a CRX netted a podium finish. Hope to have a similar result this year. Big ??? is the extra hundred pounds layed on the Honda recently. Ironically I'm not getting any thinner so we may only have to add 50# !!!

If the current weather pattern continues, rain will definitely NOT be a concern. :023:

If I tell these guys that you gave me a ride in your ITS RX many years ago and convinced me to build one they will lynch you!! Really do miss racing with you but I have VIR the next week and the business keeps me plenty busy. I will make a Florida race later in the year just to see my old buds. Luck to all.

[jmark]

I think the #33 240Z of Guy Marvin & Greg Ira will be there.

Yep, I'm there. But I'm leaving the 66 home for the weekend (the nitrous system still has some issues). Tentatively set to start the 57 car and I might finish out the day in the #20 TRG special.

Marc, make sure the tow hook on the back of the 00 is easily accessible, I might throw a rope out to try to keep with you. :)

It'll be interesting to see what the SIR did to the BMW's. I hope it's a good race all the way around.

see ya there

[steve s]

hey jim you would have to wait a very long time to see carlos's bmw at daytona we will get creamed not worth the effort.he'll be there with the miata i think????not sure.
on a HP track as daytona we don't stand a chance for a top 10 finish.

[Richy Gonzalez]

Both GBRacing cars will be there; SM 23 and ITA 24. Let's just hope the new ITA Civic has less issues this time.

I also know that Nick "the flying Hawaiian" will be there in the with the black ITA integra.

Can't wait to see everyone!

[flaboy]

Hey Chris...even thou we live in Daytona we are bringing the motorhome with us for our race on Sat....what kind of beer do you drink i'll make sure i have plenty around for you.
and yes we will both be having a great time...i will never miss Daytona.

By the way putting in a new motor I picked up this week.not new but new to me...maybe that will help me out some.

Is it only 9 days away already!!

see ya soon , Tim

Beer is a difficult thing with me and my crew. I drink Coors...heavy, crew drinks Bud, heavy and Sierra Nevada (or anything dark and expensive). Fortunately, the expensive beer drinker only drinks a maximum of two per day per event. That's why he's the designated driver.

If it rains, I'll be up in your motor home so fast that you'll think I came with the buyer's package!

Looking forward to it.

[flaboy]

alright so you want coors and bud...not a problem.

hope we have no rain.

see ya next weekend.

[spsspeed]

I will be there playing in the B race on Sat on the S race on Sun.

Scott, who's your "B" ride with?

[spsspeed]

B ride is in a 87 Honda Accord, Dave Loper recently picked it up from the Atlanta region. It won the ARRC race in ITB then put up for sell. I think it has a bigger motor (2.0) in it then my car (1.8).

Should be a fun weekend.

Scott S.

[wpspeedracer]

Evan - Jim - Chris...finally got my PCA racing out of the way...now I can get back to the real world of driving...Trying to get Andy Fox to come but he's too busy playing Farmer John with his new racing Kubota....
I'm not getting there till Sunday morning so I'lll be starting from the back.....don't wait up .....I'll find my way...........

You can add the car in your avatar to that list Richy.
I have no idea how we'll do, mostly we're just hoping to finally make it to a checkered flag :unsure:

I thought Andy was more of a John Deere kinda guy..."...being GREEN isn't easy." See ya there. :D

[charrbq]

Scott, I was about to PM you to see if you were coming. Hopefully, the car will be much improved from the last time you saw it. At least the exhaust should be in one piece. Getting there on Friday, probably am to mid day. Looking forward to bench racing about the past several months. Sorry, our cook won't be there. Don't think they allow that stuff at Daytona, any way. I suppose the concession stands would have to shut down. lol
:lol:

[wpspeedracer]

He's gonna repaint 'Kermit' to Kubota Orange....and plow thru the ITS field :happy204:

[Russell]

The #62 Sentra SE-R will be there. It is still up in the air if I will have a 2nd driver or flying solo. Don't know if I will have any pit help either. I also don't know if my suspension will be in or not, it might arrive at my house Thursday????? But I will still be there to race damnit!!!!!! It should be fun out there!

[zracre]

Mark it will be great to have you back!! Starting at Daytona from the rear can be fun!! :rolleyes: Russell, I should have a few crew guys there hopefully so look me up at the track...Chris, third time is the charm! I have never run the 4.79 gear at Daytona so I will be curious to see how the top end is there.

[Catch22]

Cool, looks like a stout ITA field.

Look for the silver #85 ITA CRX Chris. We'll be in a garage but I have no idea which one.
Can you have "The Cook" freeze something in a ziplock and bring it over for us? ;)

[/b]
Sorry Scott, The cook is involved in reconstucting his son's house...something I got roped into instead of working on the race car. Anyhow, no time to cook, even something thrown together. He peaks at the ARRC, and has to rest most of the year.
We'll be in the dirt/swamp. Looks like I may be making the trip by myself. I'll be looking for help for the enduro. Rebstock was coming to do the super tune, but got his weekends messed up. The tune will be done in advance and notes made.
Evan, the plan is simple...have fun. That's always the plan. Of course, it's more fun to win, so that's in the plan, too. If it runs like it has been, it should be interesting. Hope I can hang on! B)

[Richy Gonzalez]

Man, I hope the racing Gods are looking down on me. I've spent last week in Colorado Springs. I had to fly again this week to Colorado Springs but I'm returning home on Thursday night (12 am) so i can race over the weekend and then I fly back out for another 2 weeks that following Monday at 9:30 am. Which means I have to be at the airport by 7:30 am. I just hope that I don't make the wife and kids too angry, that the car's "teething" is over and that my job doesn't get too mad at me for missing a day :eclipsee_steering:

[Rob May]

Seck, you doin the ECR in the teg??

Stay out of it (the Teg) Stick. You'll have enough fun in the pumpkin.

[spsspeed]

Yes I will be there in the GSR. Just found out yeasterday that I have to go to an all day training class on Friday in Tampa....nice.....so I will be there late Fri or early Sat.

Scott S.

[Darryl Pritchett]

Scott, you mentioned you were driving an ITB car bought by David Loper, will David be driving it also?



Darryl Pritchett
#92 ITA Neon

[spsspeed]

Dave L. will be driving as well and I am just there to co-drive with him in his car and try to help him through his first race weekend.

Scott S.

[Chris Wire]

Weather report looks great! :023:

Since I will be starting the Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists #58 Honda CRX and David will be finishing, I will offer my services in relief should someone need help. No sense getting hurt trying to be a hero. I'm not talking about winning the race for anyone (as if....) just doing some mop up work. Russell, Nick Tenn, Richy, or anyone that needs a hand, let me know.

Junktech will soldier on to the podium, I'm confident! ;)

Put the rain tires away, boys, and let's go racing!!! :eclipsee_steering:

[Russell]

Russell, I should have a few crew guys there hopefully so look me up at the track...[/b]


Evan, thanks for the offer. It looks like I have a crew person lined up now, but if I need more help, I will find you. I hope to find you on track too, and we can draft past that miata!

Thanks for the offer, Chris. My wife does not want me doing the whole race by myself, she is not that crazy about the racing as it is. I don't think it will be a problem, but if my co-driver can't come, and I have problems, I may be looking for you!

[Chris Wire]

I don't think it will be a problem, but if my co-driver can't come, and I have problems, I may be looking for you![/b]

I understand. Look for David or myself out in the area by the T4 tunnel entrance. We won't be in the garages. If you want to hook up and put our pit stalls near each other, that would make it even easier.

Plus, we always seem to have enough guys hanging around to help in the pits, so that might help you out as well.

[Russell]

/\ Thanks Chris. I will try to find you guys. Are you setting up Friday evening or Saturday morning?

[zracre]

I will be out in the grassy area as well...same as last year. see y'all there!

[Chris Wire]

/\ Thanks Chris. I will try to find you guys. Are you setting up Friday evening or Saturday morning?
[/b]

We're going over to register and park on Friday evening.

But I'm sleeping in my own damn bed!

Oh the joys of racing at Daytona!

[Richy Gonzalez]

Chris,
We definately need to pit together. I hope I'll be okay but you never know. I might need you to jump in the second half and beat JunkTech to the podium :D

Oh, and everyone pray that my flight doesn't get cancel out here in Colorado Springs :(

[/b]

I haven't talked to David about it, but I'm sure that we'll be trying to pit as many of us together as we can. That way we can share crew guys! :) I know those guys don't mind helping a brother out!

How did you do on the updates on the car? Think you got it? Know you got it?

I know you don't want to spend another weekend like you did at the Turkey Trot.

Just get on the 58 rear bumper and we'll take it to the front baby!

[jmark]

Bump for updates on practice & Q as well as race results.

[Russell]

/\ Yeah, race results! How did it go for everyone? My race ended on lap 4 when the drivers side axle ate itself. That made 2 axles in one weekend. Not bad work to destroy an axle in 10 minutes at Daytona! We packed up and left before the race was done on Sunday. I would like to hear from those that had better luck.

I saw Richy in the garage, Chris, where were you and Junktech? I did not see you guys in the paddock.

From memory:

Flynn/Radloff Mercedes 190

Ira/Marvin 240 Z

May/Busler Rx-7

Finlay Rx-7

Witham Rx-7

Richards Rx-7

Darling Integra ITA

Vansteenburg/Vansteenburg Miata ITA

Arkajillian/Dana Rx-7

Thats as far as I looked.

Very clean race. Some hot tempers......no real damage.

The Junktech/Wire team was down a Junktech. Chris did the race solo. Not sure where they/he finished. Ronie/Liera in the x-Wilding 'teg were 3rd in ITA.

[acuracer]

Congrats to Evan Darling for his win in ITA.Strong 2nd place for Mike in the Miata including fastest lap , wow that car is ultra fast and well driven. Does not look good for the Honda guys the rest of the season based on that performance. We pushed our Acura to the limit but only good enough for 3rd. Better times were had on Saturday in the trusty old VW bringing home a hard fought win in the "B" race.Thanks again to all for a safe fun weekend.

Paul Ronie

[zracre]

Thanks to everyone for a good clean weekend! Great drive by all!! Thanks Paul I had a blast! That Miata cant be touched at any place but there...I had nothing for him and had to use traffic and having help in the pits by you guys!! That miata just kept coming...I drove that car until there was nothing left. If there was 1 or 2 more laps there is no way I could have held him off. It just proves alot about that new car...can you Imagine how fast it will be when he finishes developing it??!! They are a great group of guys (Kip and Mike) and are probably one of the top car builders in the country...but that car was waaaay fast right out of the box...

[Jeremy Billiel]

Anyone know how Scott Seck did?

[zracre]

Scott Seck was flying...i think he qualified abt 4th and was looking real strong. I heard he had axle problems late in the race...

[Chris Wire]

Many thanks to all for a great weekend!

Certainly one of the more interesting weekends I've had at the track, but everything worked out really well.

Aside from some incompetence behind the wheel that caused me a spin and an unscheduled pit stop, I was able to wheel the CRX from 55th OA/19th PIC up to 23rd/8th. My own fastest lap didn't come until lap 28. I never would have guessed that. Lots of praise for the crew guys, Dave, Ken, Ray, Chip, Dustin, Jason and Pete. They nailed the pit stop and put up with my complaining on the radio!

I was glad to see the high level of courtesy and give-and-take out on the track. Even though I had good battles throughout the field all day, the car doesn't have one scratch more than it did when it got there. That's the way I like to go racing, and I have to thank everyone on the track yesterday for a thoroughly enjoyable race.

That was the first enduro I have done from start to finish, and it was easier than I thought it would be. Can't wait for the next one!

[gsbaker]

Glad to see you are back on the track, Chris.

[Catch22]

Hi Chris,

I was in the Silver ex-Gonzalez CRX for the first half of the race. I had gotten up to 4th in class but spun it going into the bus stop (I'm still very CRX inexperienced... note to self, don't trail brake a CRX there) and got going again in the middle of your charge from the back. We had a little fun for a few laps, then I looked in my mirror and it looked like you might have done the same thing I did in the bus stop. You were back there, then you weren't.
Sorry I was holding you up in the infield. We had Toyos on the car and they were giving us an AWFUL push in the hairpins, but the car was very good on the banking.

I didn't realize that Junkins wasn't in his car.

We would have done fairly well, maybe even top 5, but we had to change a half shaft and lost about 20 minutes. I think we ended up 15th in class.

Note to self: Listen to what Scott said! I did catch myself out while trail braking, when the car touched the curbing on entry, and shot me into a 360 - no contact though.


Sorry I was holding you up in the infield. We had Toyos on the car and they were giving us an AWFUL push in the hairpins, but the car was very good on the banking.[/b]

Yeah I know. Been there, got the video! That car didn't have a final drive in it when you got it, I think you need to change it back! It was obviously killing you (me) on the banking!

I think I convinced Junktech that his motor is a little tired. She's been a good horse, though.


I didn't realize that Junkins wasn't in his car.[/b]

David was going to race, but another opportunity came up and he decided to take it. More track time for me!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Sounds like you guys should be proud of the effort regardless. You raced me clean and I had a great time.....can't wait to do it again!




Glad to see you are back on the track, Chris.
[/b]

Thanks, Gregg! It only happens 2-3 times per year so I have to enjoy it while I can!

[charrbq]

Evan, congratulations on the win! Thanks to the guys from Irish Mikes for the help in the crew work. I was going to be a busy puppy doing it alone. Sorry I screwed the watch towards the end. I was so worried about that Miata closing so fast that I got confused pushing two watches and biting my finger nails at the same time. Good thing my hair's short, or I would've been pulling it out. Two more laps and it would've changed. :birra:

[Xian]

Yep. Everything went really well all weekend long with the exception of the axle problem. Good news is that with the help of the guys at OPM we were able to get the car fixed and back onto track with a minimal loss of time :happy204:

Evan, Congrats on the win!

Christian

[flaboy]

Hey Chris,did you end up passing those two vw scroccos that were running ahead of you?
i didn't race on sat. the motor didn't like the oil i was using and decided to spit it all over my car,so we loaded up during qualifing and watch most of the race.


Tim

[charrbq]

Only one of them, Tim. Sorry I never got over for beer, but the rain really screwed my pooch. I was in tech and was going to drop by to see what was up when it hit. Windows down on the truck and the race car. I spent the rest of the afternoon draining and mopping. Forgot to eat and just made it to the grid.

Missed the jetting on the carb and didn't have anymore with me...stupid stunt. Had a new carb, head, and headers to go fast, but the head decided to give me troubles. Couple of valves backed off and the thing wouldn't run over 6500 in fourth and cut out at every turn. Really frustrating.

Passed the orange one for second, but couldn't get the white one. I was running 3 seconds a lap slower than last August when the left CV joint died. It was a mercy killing. I don't know if I could've made it on the coffee and doughnut I'd had that morning.

I counted 5 axle problems with front wheel drive cars in IT on Saturday and Sunday.

Sorry you had problems. Hope to see you at Atlanta in July for the Pro, SARRC, and the ECR. I'll have the car fixed (I hope) and eat better. If not, I'll be back for the double SARRC in August.

Could you arrange for the traffic to be better next time? Took me 14 hrs to get there, and 18 to get back to Baton Rouge! Sleepy time tonight. I'll work on the car tomorrow.

:wacko:

[Richy Gonzalez]

Like everyone else, I fought motor problems all weekend. Driving a car with no vtec is no fun, especially at Daytona. I needed another race to renew my license so against better judgement, I stayed out there. When I get a chance, I'll do a weekend summary but in short, I had no power so I played with some Neons and ITS Porches (rear of the pack). Towards the very end of the race, I endup hitting the inside guard rail in turn one. There must have been some dirt cause the car simply snap into it. ...hey Chris, I'm going to require some your services :) After the wreck, the car still ran straight, brakes where fine so I did another 2 laps until the engine starting miss-firing. I finally called it quits after a hour and 15 minutes. The things I can take away driving this new Civic is that the brakes where there the entire race. Also, the handling is good, other than the "snap into the guard rail", the car is not that twitchy.

All in all, it was a good weekend. Racing is fun but when I get to spend it with my racing buds Nick Tenn, Chris Wire, Dave Junkins, Scott Seck, Dave Raymond and his crew, and last but certianly not least my brother Ray, IT'S ALL GOOD! I'm sure I miss a few of you so sorry if I didn't mention you.

...and one last thing, I'm very happy to see our ITA groups grow with a bunch of new faces and cars!

[flaboy]

hey Chris,
I don't think i'll be going to RA.I hope my next race will be Sebring on June 3-4th,after that Daytona double Sarrc,funds are getting real low so i need to see whats close by,and running low on Vacation time..Sorry i didn't get by to see ya on sat. real bad weekend and was more mad at myself than the car.Was definittly time to go home and have some adult beverages!! Hope to race with you soo.Maybe the SIC. My wife has been talking about us going to that since i'm already elligable to go.

Talk to ya soon,

Tim

[charrbq]

Well, the good Lord's a-willin' and the cost of gas don't rise (like that's not goin' to happen!), I'll be at the Double SARRC in August at Daytona. Got to work on my go fast and get some better boogie to keep up with Rebstock...or at least close. I can't say how much work he's done on my car or he'll have to kill me. It's hard to say which one of us owes the other more, but it's good to have him on my side.
I'm certain of this, I'll be thinner so that I can get down to minimum weight and not be so worn out two laps into the race.
Getting fat is only fun during the trip there; after you get there, you're just fat and having a hard time breathing. :D

Next time, we&#39;ll have that beer...if it&#39;s on my diet. <_<

[orlando_wrx]

Thanks to the guys from Irish Mikes for the help in the crew work. I was going to be a busy puppy doing it alone.[/b]

Would like to accept the thanks, but really that should be directed toward Liera/Ronie Motorsports. Was gonna get the stopwatch on pit time for you, but you already had it. What a true show of friendly competition with Ronie and Liera helping pit a car that they were in direct competition with!! Truely a good race in both classes.

Didn&#39;t know that was you in the pit, sorry I didn&#39;t properly introduce myself as I was kind of busy making sure we had enough lead going into our pitting.

[charrbq]

No problem...thanks for the correction. I&#39;ve known Evan for a couple of years, but, living and racing out of Baton Rouge, I don&#39;t get to meet everyone he races with. It&#39;s getting there, but slowly.

One of the finest things about our sport is how we will drink beer together, loan our last spare part, share meals, and fight for every inch of track, only to get out after the race and shake hands with a smile.

&#39;preciate whoever it was that helped us!
