AutoClub Speedway Photos
 
Here are a few photos from Saturday on the AutoClub Speedway roval. Best time was 1:59 on last day NT-01's. 130mph at Turn 1 entry, 125mph at Turn 2 exit. I love the NASCAR banking!

Is that Tom Selleck at the wheel ?

Looks like fun! What mods have you made? I would guess it's stock, otherwise why leave on the OEM headlights?

I see you have a camera mounted. Did you get any good video to share?

The car meets Spec Boxster racing rules: PSS9 shocks, 450/500lb springs, front GT-3 sway bar, rear Tarett sway bar, race alignment/height (-3.5 deg front camber), full roll cage, roof net, window net, interior removed - no carpet/radio/speakers/heater/A/C, no side windows/window motors/door panels, spoiler fixed in up position, under drive pulley, low temp t-stat, Toyo RA-1 R-compound tires, fire extinguisher, Sparco racing seats, 6-pt harnesses, cool shirt system, Momo removable steering wheel, stainless steel brake lines, racing brake pads, drilled rotors, and last.. a carbon fiber shift knob.

The car is still street legal so I can drive to/from the track. Its hot, noisy, and rides stiff as a brick on the street but goes like a banshee on the racetrack.

I had a professional videographer working with me. The video should be ready in a week or two and I'll post it up.

Nice pics! Are you bringing that little sweetie to Buttonwillow this weekend for the TT/CR? We are running Config #1 CCW and there will be a bunch of NorCal BSRs there.

I'll be at Big Willow this Sat - and working on finishing the bathroom remodel on Sunday! (the bathroom was what I had to promise to the wife in return for the car!)

A good trade! Have fun at Willow as we should all have perfect weather this weekend.

Cool! Never tried banking before.

Love the graphics/decals on the car also!
