What things are you gonna do to the nsx to make it stronger this time around?

supercharged · 4 October 2002

NSX36, is that you Doug? We are trying to figure out where the rules will be to our advantage. Touring class has a UTQC limit of 140 but the yokohama slicks are awesome (ie touring vs unlimited). If we Supercharge we will be upclassed this year to the top group (Vipers, F40, etc)(ie Class 1 vs 2). So, we still need to figure out if we want to win class or have a shot at the overall. It depends a bit on who else comes out from the club and if we want to run against each other for that bit of competitive fun or we want to split up for a better shot at the constructor's trophy. Of course now that the tracks are known the best bet is seat time.
Beyond that we have a few tricks up our sleves that will make even Doug say "wow".

Thanks for the post, Greg. With two or three more NSX's, the Constructor's Cup is certainly within reach. Overall is anyone's guess right now but I do know the level of intensity has ratcheted up significantly on the hardware and talent. Should be a blast!

If anyone else has any questions, I'll try to check back here regulary to get to them.

To show our support for the 2003 OTC and our fellow competitors we have arranged three open days at Rupert's play pen. Assuming we get our limit of 25 cars the cost will be ~135 per car. Our first day is Sat Dec. 7,
come on out, test your mods, hone your skills. Doug, Wayne - if you blow up we'll give you a special deal on the enrty

Heck anyone in U-1 that blows up will get a special deal

I was just browsing through last year's top laptimes for T1 and T2...there are some damn fast guys out there!!! Unless I get a lot faster by next spring, im probably looking at 10th place or thereabouts! LOL!!

Will be interesting too see what effect the new rules have and how many more competitors will be in it for 2003.

good OTC writeup in the recent Autoweek.

supercharged · 13 November 2002

Team NSX has three cars registered at this point with more on the fence.

Car 15 status - gutted.

Roll cage this week.

Engines (that's correct)are at the shop.

Bigass radiator on the way.

Still planning on it all going back together for Pahrump testing and tuning Dec 7.

Edo · 13 December 2002

That OTC writeup in Autoweek had *OUR* car on the very front picture of the article.
Whoohooo. At least I get *some* sort of fame...

Andrie Hartanto · 14 December 2002

Edo,

it was me in the car at the passenger seat, with Mike Wann driing

Edo · 23 December 2002

well yes...
But it WAS *our* car as I mentioned earlier.

Why is it that you get publicity when you ride in (1) session with Mike? Thats just terribly unfair.
I think the key is the flaming red driving suit and helmet.
You're easily visible AND identifiable from about 1.7 miles away.

That does it...next year I am getting a Flaming Yellow Sparco suit with a Pink helmet. If I don't get attention in that outfit...then nothing else will.
