We finally did it! Nick drove the 58 Dark Horse R from 16th due to a small off in qualifying, to P1 in DH Legends and 9th overall. Surviving multiple incidents around him and hard fought positional battles we finally got that well deserved win...
koharatx reacted to OX1's post in the thread Why buy one brake deflector over another? Vorshlag vs Bamberg/GTP vs Versus or some other? with
Like.I made my own (with just a hand jigsaw and HF metal brake). I tried to extend it out as far as possible, towards the area "inside" of rotor (at least when steering wheel straight), in hopes the air would get pushed out through the rotor vanes...-
koharatx replied to the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out?.They felt great this weekend. I swapped to the R12/R10 the day before the event. Driving four hours each way to and from the event, everything's been smooth and even quiet. (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Ya, although I'd call it a delamination, not a blister. A blister is a different thing. (see full post)

TMSBOSS replied to the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out?.How do your brakes feel? Any pulsing, shudder during braking? The buildup may come off during your next run. If not, knock the buildup off with sand paper, a DA works best. (see full post)
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Ok thanks for the input. So the “blister” is the biggest issue. I have 2 fronts that are better than these so i can mix and match but i agree this thing ate some tires. May or may not run them but it seems like flipping them can extend service... (see full post)
For the archives. Completed SCCA Targa this past weekend. Set a new PB at Cresson 1.7 CCW, 1.27.000 during that event. Turned laps at Hallet, Hedge Hollow, and then Eagle Canyon. Then proceeded directly to Time Trials at Eagle Canyon...- Slow3v replied to the thread What did you do to your Boss 302 or S197 today?.No, but I’ve been considering a gloss black GT500 spoiler. I don’t think either are very functional but they’d balance out the look I think. (see full post)
- TeeLew replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.You can flip and keep running 3 of them. I don't think that would be a problem. It may act a little different than when running then the original way, but I doubt if it would be all that big of a deal. The tire missing the chunk of rubber needs... (see full post)

If you guys met us at Motorsports Hastings, you may have met Scott Springer with his 2015 Mustang GT. He was at several HPDE events last year and plans to attend more this year. Enjoy this project update and season recap...

Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.That’s a good point but it’s a $3000 set of tires. I will re evaluate. One weekend out of the fronts seems pretty “sad” but no one said this sport was for the timid (see full post)

koharatx posted the thread Advice Reading Rotors After Runs: Do My Brakes Check Out? in Brakes, Wheels and Tires.Greetings, all! First post. I'm new to the track, and I'm looking for advice on reading my rotors after 20- to 25-minute runs on the track. I recently spent a couple of HPDE weekends at Inde Motorsports Ranch in Willcox, Arizona. It's a...

- EF1 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Trying to squeeze another weekend out of an $1,800 set of tires isn’t worth putting a $65,000 car into a wall. (see full post)
ArizonaBOSS reacted to koharatx's lap time of 1:54.640 on track configuration #4 CW at track Inde Motorsports Ranch with Like.NASA AZ HPDE 1/2. So much fun!-
Gunslinger55 replied to the thread Advice on front tire wear New car.Im not an expert on this but i think while they look terrible they may still be able to be flipped and ran for a weekend with an alignment check. Hoping anyways that was pricey but the car performed very well now a solid contender in green... (see full post)
