If anyone is interested in a day at Lime Rock, I'm doing a NASA event there March 30 along with one of my customers in a 73 Cuda. PM me if you want to hook up with us at the track.

Don't you have to be a NASA member to participate in their track days?

Is it possible to be a spectator in the stands?

Sure. I don't know there will be other old cars there, but I need some fresh footage and pictures for my site. I've never driven this track either. Should be fun.

Great day at Lime Rock. This was my first time at this track. The Dart ran flawlessly all day. Lap times were 1:09s on street tires which were enough to be the among the fastest in my run group. Its a nice feeling to be running down 944s and M3s!

Pics and video shortly.

I m curious about your rear wing how does it work have you spent time dialing it in does it hinder rear view, etc


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I have not validated the value of the wing other than I like the way it looks on my car. I can say at speeds of 125 down the straight the car is rock solid.

Sounds like a riot. Any vids of the run you can share?

Flawless. I run a federal pump, hydroboost and a small high flow ps cooler. I ran all out for four sessions. 125 consistent down the straight with no issues. Lap times were 1:09s on street tires. I had a blast. 14" brakes were like the hand if god from high speed.

Did you measure the centerlink angle on your car before and after the Borgeson box swap? Did the up and down location of the pitman ball joint seem 100% in the same place?

What's your current brake system?
