Glad to see you were able to drive a whole race and were putting down some great lap times!
The fun part will be getting the car dialed in and watching the lap times drop as you get more and more comfortable with it. Good times!

Ha nice. Yeah I guess that would be the new COTA goal. Will be fun to see if we can get there. BMW CCA Club there in June will likely be my only event there for the rest of the year so we will see. I think Project No More Morale Victories Moving Forward Cause P2 Actually Sucks is going to be the new name for a bit Quote:

Still been a lot of fun getting to this point - but definitely very excited to see where we can go from here.

We were at 3.6 this weekend - working our way towards 4* in small increments each time out. I will get a measurement on how much clearance we have to the front strut when I get it back into the shop here soon.

Yes 18x10.5 ET22. It is very close but does clear the strut. Will get a measurement.

That's fast. Hope one of you two breaks it in March. If some people sign up for ST3 & will likely run there. Also probably run TT3 as well to get some more seat time. I will be no threat to you guys though - y'all are on a different level.

I am moving the car to VIR for the season in March. I have only been to MSR once and was only able to do a 1:20. Car can go faster but that record would be tough for me to break. It's up to you! |

Video from the race this weekend...
Qualifying #1: P2 @ 2:24.35 (4:55 in the video). Bit sloppy, needs to be cleaned up Race #2: Finished P2 behind the yellow corvette. Bit of a spin on exit at 12 on the last lap - tried to push too hard to catch up.

Signature Wheel - correct.
Signature Wheel SV502 I run their SV502 in either matte gunmetal or matte bronze. The gunmetal looks really good but is grey overload right now until we have the car wrapped. The bronze looks really good with the space grey. Thinking about taking a set of each and having them redone in satin black though, still my favorite. 18" x 10.5" ET22 front / 18" x 11" ET29 rear.

Finally getting to add some front aero to the car. T1 in SCCA does not allow more than 2" past the vertical plane of the bumper or dive planes - unless the car came from the factory with them installed. This means that I pretty much cannot run any front aero during those races - but all the factory race cars can (and do). At least in NASA we get to run both a decent size splitter and the canards.
The material we are using is Tegris with a thickness of 0.250". This thickness does seem like it will be rigid enough but have yet to test it out. If need be we can go to 0.400" in the future. It's light and easy to work with, so hopefully we are happy with the results. As of right now we are avoiding mounting to the chassis. We feel like we can secure the lower splitter adequately without have to go that direction. Had a good chat with dogbone about this and we are hoping to replicate his positive experience with the splitter mounted in this fashion. The main reason we are trying this first is to hopefully limit the amount of collateral damage in the inevitable event of breakage. Shape and length are also a work in progress. Our highly scientific and 100% infallible testing method with a smoke machine and an air gun has provided valuable insight up until now - so needless to say we need to get out on the track and see what happens. *Don't mind the angle of the canards - they are not completely fastened down yet **Also updated the OP with the current build specs

Not sure if you sorted out the details for the splitter support rods, but the top end of the support rods on my setup are supported by a metal bracket on the inside of the bumper to help spread the load out. This is what my friend's looks like on the inside of the bumper. I just saw the inside of my bumper at COTA when we installed the headlight blanks. My metal bracket may even be wider. With that front aero, you will start dealing with the bumper pulling down to some extent. I highly recommend those AeroCatch latches I have between my fender and bumper and get rid of the thin metal hanger clip between the two. Mine bent down at high speeds and started grinding the tire. Since the AeroCatch latches went on there----no issues.

i did a similar thing when i had that apr splitter. worked well, but i think dogbone is due for a front aero revamp (yea, i build out other people's cars in my head).
but yea, i plan on using the crashbar as well in the future, its right there.

I have a pretty wild front splitter going on right now. I will be at MSRC next weekend if you are around can check it out. Its max size for TT3 12in front and 6in along the side.
