Santa Run @ Little Talladega

[BAD SS]

* The Shelbys sounded sooo good! (302 in both I heard) Yup.
* The plum miata has an LS1 in it along with good brakes and I cant remember if it had a cage. It did have a cage.
* The red STi had minor upgrades, tune and slicks - did very well. He ran a best of 1:05.4
* The green/yellow Exige kicked major ass. I think it was stock. I wish I had numbers to post. The green Exige was running 1:07 - 1:09 all day long.
* The orange mini got to agressive early on when it was cold and had a skirmish with a tree - it lives with minor wounds. Yea, it's a shame cause it looked decently quick.

I talked to the Red vette's tuner - he didnt say anything about oil temps but the brakes were definitely not track quality. The owner spent money on a cam, and other stuff - but the brakes were stock...and fading fast lol.

I dont know much about C5s but C6's will burn oil if you put in the "recommended" amount of oil. At the track, you need to run less 1/2 quart less than you do with regular street driving or it'll get into the intake - and screw things up. Its pretty weird.

Were you the one that I gave the business cards to?

On the second run the oil temp got to around 256* and he didn't notice it. On the third run, the oil temp got up to 286* so he just coasted the rest of the run. The car makes 520rwhp and I forget how much torque. It's a road race spec'd camshaft.

Yup, he did. On the first run oil was coming out the valve cover breathers so we wrapped it up with a shop rag. It was smoking pretty bad on that run.

Yep that was me - it was nice to meet you. And thanks for the comments above.
