technically, the ring is a public road... a toll road in fact... and the place that rented me the car is 'just' a car rental agency... so it's covered... pm me if you want to hear more

RCZ · 08-07-2010, 09:31 PM

damn, yes. Need to do that so bad.

You and your "off road excursions" Travis, makes me chuckle.

travisjb · 08-08-2010, 04:49 PM

If you don't have those, you're not pushing hard enough... I feel pretty good about how it went... I put the car at 9/10ths on the ring and I'm not dead! lol

LateralG'z · 08-08-2010, 07:05 PM

Nice Travis, I am jealous

travisjb · 08-08-2010, 07:26 PM

... and I'm jealous of your new SC!

nuTinmuch · 08-09-2010, 01:42 PM

Damn, you drove the 'ring?

That's awesome. No matter what happens in your life, you can always start up a conversation with "Yeah, so I'm a badass..."

I didn't realize you could rent a car and go on their so easily. Putting this on the list.

Just busting your balls Travis, I KNOW you are a hell of a driver!

travisjb · 08-10-2010, 01:44 PM

Thanks, Junior... and the car you helped me build ain't half bad either!

Update: new fuel tank prototype will be ready by end of month... unfortunately that means no racing this weekend, but Rich is making progress on the in-tank fuel setup, so I can live with it! more to come

travisjb · 08-11-2010, 05:56 PM

found a pic

For those of you that haven't seen it, check out the Corvette Racing Series on youtube... most excellent!

Rest of series here: YouTube - Preview: Corvette Racing Video Series

Travis!

Been following your thread lately.. you're all over the map.. literally! Jealous and impressed! Pushed a car on the 'ring so hard it went off? Yikes! I thought that was ridiculous $$$ if you did that..

Cool video too.. started watching the series.. notice the AP Racing brakes on the Vettes?

I doubt they've figured that out yet... they're still working through the prototype and won't know the "bill of materials" for a couple weeks... will continue to update here as soon as there are more details, including pics, etc

Off-topic... I have to give credit to Ford for putting together a great track option on the Mustang... the Boss Laguna Seca edition... pretty damn close to ready to race, minus fire suppression and a few other things... will make a great dual street / track car for a lot of folks
