CMC2 #82 Introduction

[Hood]

Hopefully, within a year or so, I'll have the AIX Camaro up and running. We'll have to do something about those records...

You can see both my cars here...

I still laugh at you guys thinking AI is SOOOOO much faster than CMC. we aren't.... :cry:

who thought that?

The comment has always been that with "100 more horsepower" and big brakes and tires and aero, we should be like 10 seconds a lap faster. Considering there are AI cars in the US that are basically CMC cars suspension wise with AI power, no aero and just AI tires that are winning national championships... All those modifications still only equal 2 to 4 seconds a lap. Hence my theory that CMC/2 is really only a different part number for a cam and some brakes away from AI performance. Maybe not to the full extent of AI rules, just current AI performance.

that's all....

Look up the results for BMP in Oct 2007. Sometimes, the CMC cars are 2 to 4 seconds faster than the AI cars.

Heck David R kept up with most of the pack in a honda and some of the miatas put down some good times... there is more to it than HP

To bring this thread back on topic...

Dan Allford and Chris Marvel have decided to team up and share driving duties of the #82 CMC2 Camaro under Red Shift Racing for the NASA TX 2009 racing season.

Got it.
So Chris, Richard & Dan are All-Ford.

Why are you guys campaigning a Chevy again?

[cmarvel]

That is a running joke. Allford has never owned a single Ford in his life.

But he did decide to make the team happen about 30 seconds after he stepped out of Richard's Mustang at Cresson LOL!

It really sucks for you guys this weekend, but I will be curious to know what the final determination of the problem was.

[cmarvel]

We'll keep you posted. Really sorry I couldn't get in and mix it up this weekend. Based on our lap times (and what I observed in race 1) I think the engine really wasn't there anyway.

I enjoyed racing with you guys again, and with any luck we will be back soon.
