It's just amazing to have someone straight up faster than me in T2. I need this. I'm getting close to breaking through. Once "it" clicks, I'll level up. Totally buying that little Japanese man a gift basket and **** at the end of the season :-)
That is great to hear. Nobody likes a bored Gagan.

Guess I better pull up my britches and get back into the game. Can't let Jourdan walk off with 4th place. And looks like 3rd place might be up for grabs too.

I wasn't bored in the past. I just wasn't getting my *** whooped.

I only get faster when I have to chase, I don't seem to improve if I keep winning.

If that makes any sense.

If I win my bet with Jourdan (and don't have to give him $20), I'll just give the $20 to you at the end of the season. Cash Money Yo!

If my math is right, I'm at 640 with a drop. Takeshi is at 800 with a drop. Not too bad if I can wins some races. Which seems daunting...

You don't get charged until the day of the event. You can cancel up to the day before the event. If you don't cancel and don't show up, you contact the event organizer through motorsportreg.

Hey Jourdan, that's about as much as my car will roll in a turn.
What suspension/spring rates are you running in that beast?

Sounds like an awesome setup! What does it weigh? 2700ish?

It was 2700lbs when it was NA. I'm pretty sure it's more now, but not sure by how much.

Would have been awesome to codrive with you this weekend. Looks like a really nice course layout.

You looked really smooth in your video, only a couple parts where you could have been on throttle a little more.

Jourdan:

2.0l +1.4l due to turbo = 3.4l

3.4l x 300lbs = 1020lbs

1800lbs + 1020lbs = 2820lbs

2820lbs - 200lbs for having < 285mm tires= 2620lbs minimum weight for me.
