First is first!
...the launch of 35 was disgusting to say the least.
Thats because I did not launch it. I basically rolled off the line every time. My current tcm map does not have launch control enabled (to save the clutches). If I launched it you would have seen a new level of leave out. Ask porny, he's witnessed my gtr launch properly.
Porny you are clearly in a class of your own when it comes to driving skills. Congrats boy!!
..once again you and I have a mix up in language....talk to Richard, he'll explain what my "disgusted" means...
...and if that is not a launch..ASPL better start workin on the Arima GP version 3 or whatever he reach....
I got ya. But I was disgusted in the classic sense by how slow I was off the line. When Launch control is engaged its like being fired from a gun..that's the only way I can describe it.
The gtr has earned a well deserved oil change. It was retuned to 560hp with 520ft/lb of torque from 3000rpm for this event. I am very happy with the performance especially in the corners and under braking considering the car weighs over 4000lbs.
I'd like to thank United auto and performance for ensuring the car was at it's mechanical best yesterday.

Evos have a setting for dat!!!!
Garrett Inside wrote:Wait nah....u tellin me that at 3000rpm, that big heavy as* datsun was well into boost? with 520wtq.
So daiz how it came out of d corners so fast! Come to think of it it was fast like as* on d straights too, and, its breaks slowed d car real fast too.
Boy....u go have me resorting to putting some crazy glue on mih tyres before each run now...geez.
However, ah hear a secret, but ah go tell you and you alone eh, ah hear modded gtr's does perform d bestest at 280whp and 260wtq, try dat for d next event and yuh go drop a second on yuh time faster.... scene.
Great driving by u and porny.congrats!
rallyman wrote:To all the Cobra fans - sorry for a rather disappointing performance yesterday because on the way to the event something went wrong with the supercharger boost and it was about 10lbs short of boost all day. The lack of boost dropped peak power significantly. This problem will be fixed before the next event.

[straight face]So stop crying about sand in your pooks and build a car to compete... not everyone can be a winner and sometimes life throws chunks of asphalt in your path (by the $#!@% bucket !) and you just gotta power thru that $#ift... sideways. [/straight face]
Personally, running on a bad track is more of a challenge but it is a world better than having nothing at all.

no lie, I was elated to see that much people at ARC, competitors and spectators!
The drivers and commentators kept the energy up all day.
The reviews after the event are making people who did not attend really wish they did.
Just goes to show what Trinis can do with a car park, imagine what we'd do with a racing facility.
Keep it up!

I would like to thank Rawle Mahabir and all the Autosport personnel who put so much work into this exciting event. In light of our inability to get a proper track in Trinidad, this is the next best thing.

BIG thanks and props to Autosport and all the people that gave thier time and effort to host the event successfully. The best event I have been to for a long time and I will surely participate in any future events. Valvoline really represented for sponsoring the event too !
