Well we are only days away from Slipstream's Oct 17 and 18 roll races at East Coast Call Out.

Who from the 911 Turbo world is going? Our cars race on Oct 17th as that is the under 750 bhp day.

I know RobRob's Cobb\ByDesign Stage 3 car will be there and we are racing the first three races. We'll have passengers to even out the weight as I have my son and he needs to be a passenger and not a spectator on the sidelines. I understand that that car will be shaken down thoroughly this time and will be ready to race. Based on Dyno runs (this car had put down a Dyno run with 100 lbs ft more than mine) I am expecting to see that car's tail lights rather than this kind of race which he had at Atco where the car still had some bugs to be fixed:


Stated differently I am expecting to be crushed this time. LOL. Which actually would be OK by me if the cobb/bydesign team can produce that much more power safely than my car does. If they do maybe it's time for the VTG upgrade for me when it is out....

 

The car had a major boost leak for the record.... Turbos don't run 12's period.

Would hate for someone to misconstrue the results based on your video production title. Just sayin....

 

Agreed. Which is why my post and my description of the video in YouTube make that qualification. Besides the boost leak there was also apparently a problem with the intercoolers that came from ByDesign if I read RSW's prior posts correctly. I am assuming the intercoolers were not pressure tested before ByDesign shipped them out to RSW for installation in the car. I am assuming they've now been pressure tested and are working as designed.

If the Cobb/ByDesign car is sorted out and the Dyno results prove to be true in the real world that car should beat mine by least several car lengths at slipstream. That is certainly my expectation given that cars with those mods dyno at 100 more lbs ft than mine and given that JohnMorgan's Cobb Stage 2 991 TTS is just about as powerful and fast as mine.

 

My car will be in the shop Thursday and if its completed by Friday and I can run Jmorgan's map successfully, I will come.

Jmorgan are you coming?

 

I would love to. I was under the impression it was sold out. Is that incorrect?

 

I am just wondering about the point of the video, 10.62 @ 130.2 is unimpressive anyway irrespective of what went wrong on the white car which obviously something did...............

 

I agree. I think he was just trying to show how bad the Cobb car was running, comparatively.

Maybe if SDG posts videos from the go-pro mounted on his car we could gain some insight regarding the rate of acceleration in the first 1/8 and the second 1/8. I'm especially interested to see the go-pro video against my car and jyupitt1's car because I think that would explain a lot of the data we are seeing on dyno runs.

 

I will. Work and family obligations have been super busy right now and it takes quite a lot of time to go through all that video and trim it. I will at some point though.

I'll turn it away if you want to get my go Pro footage and edit it I'll just turn it over to you and you can do it. I will get around to doing it but I'm crazy at home and at work right now and I'm not very good at doing it and it takes time.

 

That definitely was not my car's fastest run. My car's best ET was 10.316 when driven by JohnMorgan. 10.336 when driven by me. Best trap of 132.09. My car did many runs in the 10.3 's especially in the afternoon when traction was better due to Warmer temps.

As I said I expect that if the white car performs as designed the result will be very very different and I'll be looking at its rear end before the race is over.

 

Unfortunately the event is sold out and they are no longer allowing people to sell their tickets to others.

 

The guys have the car tight as a drum and it's running strong. Logs look great on the stage 3 map so I have no doubt it will impress us all. Sorry John and Scott are going to have to try and one up you with the 10.3's! Hoping to get super low 10's. The half-mile event will be nice as well. With similar horsepower but more torque a gap should be displayed. But in the higher mile per hour long pulls horse power becomes more important.

 

Yes I was hoping for super low tens at Atco but it did not happen. I wonder how much r compound tires would have helped as in the morning when the DA was best I could not launch the car well at all.

I will be interested to see how these cars do at ShiftSector which is a half mile. At Slipstream our roll races are only 1500 feet. No half mile events in the northeast to my knowledge. Wish we had some.

With a 100 lbs ft difference the Cobb/ByDesign 991 TTS should beat mine for sure. And I am coming with the same tune/mods that I had at Atco and at the Driving Force Club runway event

 

Cheers
Sounds good!

 

For the record and put nicely, I think that posting a "Crushing" against a car suffering from a major leak while knowing about it is not too appropriate or legit. Actually pretty weak and desperate. No matter who posted it and if they stated there was leak later. It was clearly known about. Everyone can be their own judge.

 

I'm pretty good friend's with one of the guys that runs it. PM me and I'll try and get you in if interested.
