I need another 2 new Toyos but Marcus didn’t list any…where do you guys get yours?
Also, this past weekend at VIR Chris, David and Carter all walked away from me on the straights…makes me wonder about my new crate motor from BMW…any ideas?
Will we have scales and the dyno at Road Atlanta?
Best, Steve Stubbs #42
I don’t know anything about your driving experience so don’t take this the wrong way … cars pulling away from you on a straight can easily be due to them achieving a higher exit speed at the preceding corner.

Hey Steve,
Can’t speak for Road atlanta.
Did you figure out what the trouble was with the car at VIR?
Steve is a driver. He holds the ITS track record at one of the southeast tracks…but I can’t remember which one.
Steve: I suggest having the car chassis dynoed at a local place, with another E30 there. I know we’re a few hours drive, up here in Raleigh, but you’re welcome to use my car for comparison next time your in this area. My car is usually just a bit above the average output of the cars we dyno (in a range of about 7 hp) so it’s a good car to use in a test.
I’m happy to give you my dyno numbers but while we’ve seen the cars fall in about the same spot in the range compared to others being dynoed that day, we’ve seen the actual output numbers vary among the different chassis dynos.
I don’t know about having a dyno at Road Atlanta but we’ll be weighing cars for sure.
And you might consider getting one of the in-car dyno units, or barrow one from someone. I’ll be glad to let you try it on my car too.
Carter
Gee, they have "walked "me on straighaways too, just ask Carter.Two words should sum it up-catalytic converter. And, how much of the cat story do you want to hear? It is an expensive story when they crack and melt. You’ll spend lots of money on this problem as it just shows up as an overheat. Ditch the cat and you can’t run K Stock… Call me if you care to discuss the trials and tribulations of one car for both race series.
