Re: Top Speed runs in your Z
I still lurk. I see the central texas bunch occasionally. Missed Glenn not having the Texas BBQ this year.

Re: Top Speed runs in your Z
Not me. No videos of my runs. Also after reading my post I felt I ought to comment on the "not scared" comment I made. I have been scared, very scared. Anyone who was out in the jungles of South...

Re: Top Speed runs in your Z
201 on radar at 2002 Big Bend Open Road Race. Disqualified for too fast. Many times over 180. And I do not think I was scared or crazy. But the adrenaline was flowing. Going in a straight line...

Re: Road Racing Tire Sizes
I was using 11" wheels with proper offset in front for 315. Not ZR-1 rear offset which will not work, they touch hard. It is just about the offset of Grand Sport rears I think. And I used 12"...

Re: Road Racing Tire Sizes
I agree with Glenn (gbrtng). I liked TWS with some of its longer straights. And as I am sure you know, coil-overs help tremendously. I raced with several different combinations of tires: 275 -...

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure - 2012
Jim,
Hope your trip goes well. I always stop at Liard River Hot Springs. Interesting if you have time. It used to be free but now I think it cost a little.
Hib,
Sorry to hear about...

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure - 2012
Nearly all the roads from Dawson Creek north will have occasional gravel where they are being worked on. The gravel is sometimes better than the pavement. Frost heaves in the pavement are tough. ...

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure - 2012
No pistols in Canada. And now you have to have passports to go thru Canada. Tell your credit card companies that you are traveling to Canada so they can activate the international plan. Some cards...

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure - 2012
I just noticed that you have a track going from Skagway to Haines. I am sure you know that there is no road between the two. If you take the ferry between the two it pays to check the schedule and...

Re: ZR-1 Alaskan Adventure - 2012
I have driven one way or the other from Texas to Alaska 15 times. Never in a ZR-1. I drove the 4200 miles from Luling, TX to Glennallen, Ak in 5 days last May 2011 in my VW TDI. The first time I...

Re: Very cool vid.
Nope, not me. Mine was almost stock. :-) I only ran BBORR, never ran the SSClassic. I don't know who that was. BBORR has a lot more corners than SSC. When I ran the last time in 2002, I was in...

Re: Wind force figures
Removing the mirrors will also help. Dynomite's figures look pretty good to me. I had about 370 rwhp when I ran BBORR in 2001. Stock suspension w/mirrors. Ran a sustained 181 mph. 2002 #364 ran...

My 91 did not turn on the light with the sensors removed. It was working when I removed the sensors after one came unglued at about 150 mph. Fortunately on left rear because it really unbalanced...

Re: A question about speed reading at 5th gear
Using a 25.7" diameter tire, @ 7100 rpm with 3.45 gears and in 5th gear you should be at about 209 mph. It is a little easier to figure using 4th gear as it is 1:1 rather than 1:.75. Nevertheless,...

Way cool. I tried with my granddaughter but scared her to death. That was when she was about 20. When she was about 3 or 4 she was always wanting me to go faster in my old 68 roadster. Oh well. ...
