It had literally started to mist lightly about 20 minutes before this race....we made the call, as well as the gold car, at the last minute to switch from dry tires....really, really glad we did...we both made it to grid with just one minute left!

Bill, finished with the points championship over my main competitor, it went down to the last two races though! The class is gaining some steam in the Great Lakes area, we added a new driver this year with at least 2 maybe 3 more new cars coming in next year. We should field at least 5 and up...

A few laps in the last race of the year for NASA Great Lakes Spec Iron. Rain made it interesting, as the Toyo RA1s leave more than a little to be desired as a rain tire. The RRs are great for the dry tire though! The 3V solid axle can be a handful in the wet on RA1s :)

We were literally through the brake zone(first cars) no more than 5-10 seconds after the dump, so no debris flag, sounds like an oil line let go, it wasn't dropping or burning oil until BAM.....loads of oil.....makes for scary interesting times!

That is exactly why I was working so hard to get out of the beach! Was thinking about someone flying into me like a sitting duck!

This past weekend (May 31,2020) NASA Great Lakes ran at MidOhio. In the Sunday Thunder group in Sunday's first race, an American Iron car dropped oil in the brake zone of China Beach....one of the worst places on the track to do so! The following video shows two Spec Iron cars (2005-2010 3vs)...

Here is a fun quick video from this weekend at a very wet NCM. The first car in the video is my 3V Spec Iron car. Gotta love the sound!

LOVE the Bullitt....then again, I might be a little biased!! :)

Blacksheep, I have run karts a few times, but most of my racing years have been in circle track for then road racing. #55 really won't understeer much on most tracks, so the corrections were to keep oversteer in check. You are correct though in the fact the fastest laps will be on line with a...

Hi Apex3V,The Spec Iron class is great....the SE is booming....the guys down there came up to run nationals with us Great Lakes boys at MidOhio and we had a blast. The cars are rather equal....look at our qualifying and race times for the championship race. Once you get your car dialed...

Another 3V just joined....I posted this video in the road race forum, but thought it would also fit well in here. The car is a 2010 Mustang GT modified to full Spec Iron criteria. Basically a stock 4.6 (tune only), MCS coilovers, camber plates, 275/18 Toyos all around, and GT500...

Sunday 10/6/2019 Thunder Qualifying video.....was pretty crazy with water across the track in some critical areas....

Here is a link to the Spec Iron track record lap 1:35.990, the stock 3V can really move if you keep her on boil....kind of hard to do with the spec 3:31 rear end gears! I screwed up turn one a little...could have even been a better track record....

Hello to the Road Racing forum. Bill Pemberton stopped by our paddock spot this weekend and encouraged to join the club! I'm Chris Williams have been racing a 2010 Mustang GT in Spec Iron (#55) (NASA) for the last two years, and in Spec Miata both SCCA and NASA for the ten years prior to that...
