I'm not certain that it's a lap record but think it is - for a stock, production car. I'm going to wait a bit before I start sharing it in a big way. Just in case, I had 2 professional engineers validate the data from a performance box. My hope is that I can get into the 1:24's this summer. Hopefully.

I have yet to take tire temps at Castrol so I should be able to optimize my setup at least a tiny bit.


We've been working on our Chump race car. After winning at Thunderhill in California you'd think we'd be done but we've been working to make it more reliable - and FASTER! We'll start our next race at Laguna Seca 2 laps down (success penalty) so we'll need to get busy to do well there.

You know, if there is one racing venue I've always wanted to try out... it is the Laguna Seca. It is on my bucket list to go do a few laps there in something fun

I won a motorcycle race (600cc Production bike class) in 1988 there. My first and last race there. I won the pole then I won the race. I'm looking forward to going back.

Fly out in the morning to the west coast to pick up my Porsche... Love new toys! Hopefully doesn't need too much work..


So the Southern Alberta Offroad Group is heading up to Waiparous June 27th if anyone wants to tag along.. Sounds like about 5 up from Lethbridge including Karl, Ross, and myself. So a really good group and will be a great time. Hopefully more come along by then..


Will do the Trail straight out of the pitt to Nick's Hill, Trail over the bridge from there with the falls as final destination. May be a bit of a longer day.... but ALOT of fun!!!!!!
