Christian, who can't freakin' wait till next month!!! :happy204:
Man that's not right! I have the itch and really got it after talking to Paul Ronnie at Daytona I am just having a hard time getting off work.
Xian it was a blast running with ya at Daytona I will have to get the video up on the site. Some great clean racing.
Ya never know I just might make it to the ARRC.
Later.
Oh yeah and I stole your line about the lunch box!!!! :D
Rockin! Come on up for the race if you can get off the time. It is without a doubt the best racing you'll ever find. I had the best race f the season last year at the ARRC scrapping in the middle of the ITA pack. Clean and fast racing around a great facility.Quote:

Same here. If I don't see you at the ARRC, I'll look forward to racing against you next season. Let me know if you get any video up from the weekend, I'd love to see it. You can also find me over on www.rr-ax.com under the same user name.Quote:

We did kind of have an e-mail list going with all three of us........But SOMEONE decided to sell their car!! :D
Go to the ARRC. Unfortunately due to a really large outlay of cash for the rest of the season, I'm going to have to skip it this year. But if you're getting the most out of your engine, the Saturn loooooves the back straight at Road Atlanta!!
Just stay out of the gravel!!
THE HATERS!
Jeff thanks for the info I thought there were a couple more Saturns running around?
We are in the process of building a second car another 97 SC2.
I really want to go to the ARRC.....If i get the time of Im there.
There should be a ton more Saturn racers out there look at how they hook up! :eclipsee_steering:
Hey OB if you come to the ARRC you better hire a security guard for your car. Mine still smells along now
with eveything inside my trailer. Paybacks are hell punk.
Looking forward to a bunch of laughs if you can make it
k
Kolin ya FREAK!
what is up?
You still smellin..........LOL..
I just wanted you to have somethin to remind you of me...like perfume on a pillow... ;)
This is the next one ...a Scratch and sniff oooh yeah Baby!
O.B.
My only ARRC memory of the back straight was of the SP car (a souped up GT1 car) passing me. I swear, I exited 7, got 1/3 of the way down the straight, looked back in my mirror and saw him exiting 7 and, before I could look back straight he was passed me, nearly pulling my car completely to the other side of the track!
Anyone know a good source of windshields for a first gen SL2?

I've got one on a parts car if you want to pay the shipping!! :D
Thanks, Jeff! I'm sure UPS won't mind paying out the insurance!! :D
See if you have a company called Safelite Glass.
Very reasonable and fast .
I found out the hard way when i lost a strap on the rear and I had to lock em up and my car leaped forward into my tire carrier in turn smashing my windsheild. :bash_1_:
165.00 plus tax.
for my 97 SC2.

I get the same thing here when we run with the GT cars at Daytona on the high banks................all you see in your rearview is a dot and then something whizzzes by you at 150 plus EEEEEEEEK!
then they park it in the corners..lol I dont get that.
O.B.
Holy crap! They are cheap! $255 for a windshield is a GREAT price! Of course, the rear window is still over $1000...
REALLY?? $1000!?!?!

Or, you can just buy a $500 running SC parts car and pull it off of there!! ;)
I think in that situation, the junk yard is your friend. I know, I know, pulling class is not easy. I've done it.
Remember, though, I have an SL2 - the sedan. The rear window is not only curved around the body, but also curves out at the bottom. It is a very complex (for a glass window, anyway) design.
And, yes, I have a spare. The current one was taken out once (when we built the car), so I know it can be done (though the glass guys that do it swear a lot and take no responsibility if they break it).

I have one of them too!!
Don't ask!! :rolleyes:
Holy Crap!
I just saw a video on youtube....
Lawton what happend in I think it was Pocono raceway did your brakes fail???
That looked crazy seeing you fly by that guy.....EEEEEEEEEEEk! :eclipsee_steering:
Ouch!
If by 'brakes' you mean 'brain', then yes, 'they' did fail!!! :)Quote:

Yeah, unfortunately Andy is right.
The day before it was very hot so we were down on HP. That morning it was cool. FIRST lap of qualifying, I got in Joe's draft and was going much faster than I had the day before. Joe getting on the brakes caught me off guard (he was being a pussy!!). And at almost 130 mph, I tried to gently steer around him while braking.......Didn't work. Messed up the car real good. DL-1 showed I was going about 75 when I hit.
Did you see both video? One from Joe's car and one from mine.
yea, there's a problem I wouldn't mind having in MY ITA car...12 MORE MPH top speed. sheesh.Quote:

. And at almost 130 mph,........I [/b]
STOP it! You havn't even BEEN to Pocono with your cr since they started using this config!!!!Quote:

He is really at 127mph!
Yeah I saw both.
We all have a brain fart or two that was just scary!
