    Gen V GTS Pace Car for the NARRA event at Road Atlanta this weekend!!!!

    I just got word that the pace car this weekend will be a new GTS. I'm pumped since I haven't seen one in person yet. Anybody who was thinking about coming to just watch and hang-out, maybe this will bring you around. :) I can't name my source (but he is the official pace car driver for...

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    Does anybody have a room at one of the hotels in Braselton that they want to split the cost on? I just checked and 3 are completely booked, which I can't remember seeing before. If anyone is going solo and wants to split it, let me know ASAP. If not, I'll just have to book one a little...

    Odd ? about track days & overcoming cornering fears

    As others have said, get time with an instructor. YOU might be making the tires squeal when they shouldn't be by how you are taking the turn itself. I guess what I'm saying is that the tires might be at their adheasion limit for how you are driving (so you don't want to ignore that), but there...

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    I'm sure it's open to everybody. I didn't sign up to run on Friday, but if all goes well, I'm going to try to get there as early as I can to get set-up and hang out. Is anyone else planning on getting there (or running) by about 2:00 on Friday?

    Fit problems with Sidewinder wheels

    I wonder if the scrapes on the caliper itself are because the caliper isn't down far enough on the disk because the studs jacked that up too? What wheels were you running before that didn't rub on the caliper mount studs? I haven't compared a sidewinder to other stock front wheels, but why...

    Classified ads just posted for Euroteck rotors and accessories used and new

    I've never understood the wait to approve ads posted by VCA members. It seems like you should be able to enter your member number when you place the ad or something and have it immediately show up. It seems like someone might be getting first dibs on items in ads before they actually get...

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    I guess I'll need to bug them for a refund of the membership fee I paid when I registered. Hopefully the $100/10 discount she originally told me still applies.

    Only select items get the discount. They do have a lot of parts where the discount applies. Unfortunately, it always seemed like I needed the parts that didn't have one. lol

    Vibration "changed" with new motor mounts

    You do have more vibration than stock, but a much better overall "feel" for the car. Plus the stock ones are junk anyway and will break on you. It's not near as bad it sounds and definitley worth it. It was for me anyway. It's not like the Viper is smooth riding car anyway. lol

    Racing Advice

    Some groups might let you by with the factory "roll over" (ahem) protection in the beginner group, but most of them that I run with require an actual roll bar. If NARRA is coming near you, I talked to them about trying to get more new guys out on the track in their HPDE event at Road Atlanta...

    HELP!! identify this internal engine part

    Not sure what the rod bearings were made of on the Gen II's. Dropping the pan isn't very tough, so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and drop it and see what else might be in there and possibly trying to see where those pieces came from.

    NARRA Road Atlanta April 12-14

    Joel, did they anything about the $100 "refund" for each entry if we have 10 entries, that Kim told me about? I know their lack of organization and website non-info has been discussed in another thread, but have you seen an updated schedule either? She specifically told me there would be...

    Why is this ebay B&W GTS so cheap?

    HA! For one, I just bought the Roadster. Secondly, while it's a hell of deal on the car itself, it's still a hell of lot more expensive to run. AND FIX! LOL!

    Why is this ebay B&W GTS so cheap?

    That's a hell of a deal for someone looking for a track, assuming it runs as well as the seller says. Brake, cage, splitter, wing, motons, fire suppression? LOT of money in those upgrades.

    Anyone have an Autoform roll hoop they can sell me or know who has one in stock?

    That's the one I was talking about. While better then the stock hoops, I doubt that thing is legally recognized by track organizations since it doesn't actually mount to the frame.

    3:73s and aluminum flywheel feed back.

    I got mine from Woodhouse, but you're still going to feel like you're driving a tank, just with a shorter throw. The trans in the Viper is just tough to shift for some reason. I've had T56's in past cars and they shifted much different (easier) than the Viper version. I recently put in a...

    Vibration "changed" with new motor mounts

    Yep. I've got the Woodhouse motor and tranny mounts in mine, and when I first drove it after intalling them, I thought I had done something seriously wrong. The rear view mirror wasn't even usable it was vibrating so bad right around 2k. Like Chip said, it does settle down after some miles...

    Anyone have an Autoform roll hoop they can sell me or know who has one in stock?

    There was some "different" looking thing in the classifieds recently. It looked like a single bar all the way across, instead of the two hoops. I think the ad said something about just unbolting the stock hoops and bolting this contraption in. If it just goes into the stock hoop braces...

    Plasti-fun

    I was thinking the same thing. I did my track wheels with it and the first spray from the can comes out great. Any after that, spatter and spit and look like crap. I tried holding it upside down and spray air only after each use, paint thinner, acetone, anything I could think of. Basically I...

    NARRA...Road Atlanta...April 12-14, 2013

    Well, I'm registered. :) Where are the rest of you guys who are planning on coming? I don't see anybody else listed as attendees yet though. Has nobody else signed up, or did you sign up and opt to pay later? Maybe they don't officially list you until you are paid?

    Road Atlanta April 12-14

    Have they given you some more details? The last I heard from her was that we would get $100 refund per entry (at the event), if we got 10 entries. I know Brian has some people coming (at least 2), but they will not be in Vipers. I'm not clear if we get to count them towards our total number...
