Competed in first TT
 

I drove my 78 SC to a third place in Tarheel Sports Car Clubs time trial at Roebling Road with a time of 1:29.19.

I DNF'd Saturday after locking a right front tire on my last timed lap which caused the car to step sideways off the track. I got on my new Victoracers on Sunday and took 4 seconds off my best time from Saturday.

Here's a pic of the car with my new magnetic meatball and permanent number.

Next stop: Carolina Motorsports Park, November 1 and 2.

Looks like a great car for TT/DE action.
I think half the fun is the hours of practice leading up to the timed laps.
I checked but could not find a home page with your car specs.
What are you running for drivetrain/suspension and the rest?
How do like the whale tail?

Ted ...it'a an IROC tail, by gosh...;)
Lothar...your car looks just great...good to hear you slash such a chunk of time off with just the addition of the Kuhmo's.....double thumb's up 'bro!!

I'll be getting my own IROC tail back from the painter tomorrow, and I like your front spoiler too...nice '74 IROC look!!!!

This comong weekend Ted & I will be out at Spring Mtn Motor sports raceway in Pahrump Nevada for a two day TT, with the PCA-San Diego Region...first time I will have the IROC wing on....

Although I've got a long hood car, I plan to get the same front bumper/spoiler you have and just add a splitter to the bottom of it...

Your 911 looks fast and very taseful......

cheers !!!

Lothar...how do you like the 245 Kumho's on the 9" rims ?

are they wide enough i.e. the side walls running vertical off the rim up to the tread, or is the rim a tad wider than the tire?

I'm running the Kumho 265/45 16 on 16 x9" Fuchs in the rear...have been toying with the idea of trying out a set of 245/45 16 Kumho's next set....

John,

No problem. The 245's look quite natural on the 9" rims. The rim does not protrude past the side wall of the tire in the front.

Excellent !!!! thank you for the feed back!!

I think a set of 245's are in my future,,,:)

Lothar - how much does your SC weigh?
