Another Fun Day at Pocono Raceway

[Raymond Kawski]

Well I decided to run the Turbo car again at Pocono since this time it would
be the North course which is a horsepower friendly track.  Not very
technical and a large portion of the Nascar track is used.  Perfect for my
crappy Kuhmo 712's and my GC's on crappy AGX's.

Well turns out do to a scheduling glitch we ran the East Course again.  Damn
the NX would have been better for the East course.  Oh well the tires held
up w/o chunking or wearing down to nothing.   They didn't grip worth crap
which I expected and the crap suspension on full hard couldn't keep the
heavy B14 flat.   Still fun.  :)

By the 3rd session I was running 12psi allot just to piss of 'vette,
Mustang, Porsche and BMW owners who thought they wouldn't have trouble with
the little Sentra.   I definitely need to get the remote switch for the
Profec B so I can easily switch low/high.  I would only run 12psi on the
Nascar straight as 12psi was too much power for the crappy tires in the
infield.  Even with a Quaife.

The trans has held up for 2 sessions on this course.  I was in 3rd gear (the
danger gear) for 95% of the track.  I would shift to 4th on the Nascar
straight.  Then go back to 3rd in the infield and would use 3rd thru the
whole infield except thru the hairpin where I would grab 2nd and then go
back to 3rd after the hairpin.  I think the new Shot and Chryo treatment may
hold up pretty well.  Mike Kojima would have to tell you what was done as I
forgot and I'm clueless on that stuff.  :)

I think the car will be badass once I get a Shigspeed suspension, won't
happen soon enough :(, on the car, get a clutch that can hold me above 12psi
and put some nice tires on it.  At 12psi I was holding off C5's on the back
straight.  And pulling on all the M3's  and a bunch of other fast cars :)
