Looks like a great time! How did you guys do compared to the other cars on the track? Steve, are those new wheels?

Great pics Ed :)

Syn- Yeh a bought a set of stock Viper 6 spoke so I had a second set of tires to drive to AC on. Kuno Wittmer broke the production lap record for the track by a huge margin in a stock ACR . Unfortunately I was .60 of a second off his time so he holds the record. (I guess its time I make an adjustment to my stock factory shock settings ) So I can say nothing else compared to Vipers . I did get beat in the Time Trials by a 700hp Subaru that was a pro time attack car that is set up to do 3 hot laps and then over heats. The ACR is just an amazing piece of machinery I wouldnt trade it for any car in the world.

Steve that is simply amazing that you ran only .60 behind Wittmer.
Congrats!
Was he in a '10 compared to your '09, and did the fifth gear advantage come into play?
You may have not actually used fifth there?

Thanks Jon, the 5th gear didn’t but the changed aero may have a little. I am sure the biggest difference was he ran first thing in the morning on a much cooler day before the track got greasy, the car had a great alignment for the track and shocks were adjusted. Mine needed more negative camber (street alignment) and I still have the shocks set as they came from the factory. The other problem is I only got to do 3-4 laps during the Time Trials before I would start lapping other cars. I don’t discount for a second that he is a very talented driver. But I am sure we both could have been much faster.
