Looks like the GT350 will max at 546. Close enough for gov't work. I did not do chassis straightening or engine overhaul to see If it would change but oil is good.
 
I know the GT350R can hang with the higher powered cars and Kal has seen me control that car. There's still alot of tuning left for me to do with that car so i will try my best to keep it between the ditches.
 
I am very much interested on this!

Ah were were the Ford drivers tonight? I had fun guys even though I couldn't get the Mustangs going at first. Looks like I have some work to do to keep up with you guys. At least I got the Grabber Blue Stang up in the front there at the end. See you guys next Sunday for sure!

Kal are we doing the Daytona Road Course again? or are we going with another track?
 
Sorry i couldnt bring the Blue Oval cars but i had a previous obligation to attend. If i can find the time i'm going to tune my cars over the week and perfect my driving style.

Next Sunday I want to go with having it count and starting over on the track list.

We can practice anytime, just post up when where and if able to join hey why not. Enjoyed tonight races. Can't decide rather I want to stick with the Camaro or try the Challenger out. I need to work on the Chally alot.
 
Here are two screen Shots from last nights race. The only bad thing about Daytona is the whole drafting deal and last minute take overs. I had attempted to block the Corvette (I was in the Camaro) but was to late and the blue mustang went wide to avoid the Corvette. For the majority of the race 1st place belong to three people.

It was a close race and was fun.

Okay, tomorrow night heralds the official start of the Trans Am Series Season One. Below are the current Rules/Guidelines and Class Limits and Groups. Please Read them as having to explain it all over again in the lounge is annoying.

You will have two cars to race throughout the Season, one for each of the groups. You will stay with these two cars. How you set them up, Tune, and run them is your choice as long as they fall within the regulations. There are no Tire restrictions.

The Track Schedule: I am not planning on running entire List in one night but perhaps Two Tracks. (Total of 4 races, avg 1 hours to 1 1/2 hour of time per Sunday) We can do more if everyone votes to do so.

Group One will run a first, and then Group Two cars will run same Track, Same Laps. I am hoping to do one or two tracks a night if possible.

Grand Valley 6 Laps
Deep Forest 6 Laps
Indy Road Course 6 Laps
Trial Mountain 6 Laps
Daytona Road Course 6 Laps
Daytona Speedway 15 Laps
Laguna Seca 20 Laps

Restictions are as follows, TCS, ASM, Skidforce, Active Steering will be turned off. Use of ABS, and Driving Line is allowed. Refer to GT Planets Online Racing rules ((https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=111241))) for more clarification on performance and expected behavior on the track. If a Foul is called resulting in major loss of time/place, a replay will be looked at after the race by several people and will make decision on any type of penalty or ruling.

The Races will be held in a Lounge on Sunday Evenings around 8-9pm EST. Room will be opened around 8-9 for practice and at 9 the racing will begin.

I had some issues with the 350R last sunday night, the rear end kept breaking out in turn 4 (part of oval) on the Daytona road course track. I will try to work with the car today to get it ready. I will share anything in my tune with you. I did play with the Ballast last sunday (rather quickly) and it seemed to help with the light rear end of the car.
 
Im trying to not need ballast instead im playing with the spring rates and ride height so i can mess with the balance of the car. I'll also share my tune if i find one thats successful and i truly enjoy.
