Yes, that's an LS in a Mustang. It's in Terry Fair's car dubbed "Trigger."

People keep asking me about my tiny little golf cart (pictured here with an embarrassed Chris and J.A.) so I'll link to my Cricket mini golf cart thread here

I did not realize just how ridiculous 2 people look in that. It's amazing though, 10/10 better than walking.

Slight detour before racing this morning, J.A. and I took a trip to the National Corvette Museum to get some content for Classic Motorsports, keep an eye out for that coming soon.

And with the utcc in the books, Tom, Chris and JA are outta here and I'm left to fend for myself. Going into the final day of competition I'm somehow holding on to a podium spot in a 15-car Tuner 3 class in the BMW. Nice to see a lot of our reliability mods paying off in zero stress. Now we can start building even more performance.

What am I, chopped liver?  smiley

 

Max 5 winner and new lap record, dropping the old mark by three full seconds.  All due to learning during One Lap prep.

No, this isn't the One Lap CRX...it's the little brother BRX.  $400 chassis with $4k drivetrain (JDM B18C ITR).  Everything else mirrors the One Lap car.  Same Wilwood brakes with Hawk pads, same Redshift dampers with Eibach Springs.  Hasport mounts and accessories made the swap easy. 

Also borrowed the big Zebulon aero and the 225 Yokohama A052's on 6UL wheels with flared fenders from the One Lap car. Those two items accounted for most of the three seconds' improvement.  Oh, and that super-comfortable Kirkey seat, too.  laugh

You did well dear. 
it was fun watching Andy wait until the last possible second to yank the heaters off the rear tires. I'm surprised he hasn't just devised a tether system where he can just drive out of them on the way to make the last grid call.

Andy scored a M5 win and reset his own track record. I drove an underprepared car to a podium. Solid weekend for team GRM.
