It takes a truly exceptional moron to try to turn a Fox convertible, with its wet noodle chassis, into a track car. That would be why you don't see many of them. Hell, it's rare to see any Foxes these days other than in AI/AIX, ASedan or CMC racing.

I thought your car was quick, Pat. . Sitting next to a GT3 sort of changes perspectives though. I'll have video as soon as I can render it out. After 4 solid hours of flogging on track, I think the old NT01s have finally bit the dust. Damn those tires are hard to kill. Scott Last edited by defylogik; 03-21-2012 at 09:22 AM. |

As for wind noise, which case back do you use? I use the sealed one, not the one with the open back. That cuts the wind noise down quite a bit. I think it has a lot to do with mounting location as well? Not sure...this camera let's me down all the time.. Either it errors during a session, or the battery runs out. Or I forget to turn it on after I'm already in the harness. |

Maybe it's where I mount it? I have it tucked up into the lower grille with one of their permanent mounts. Or I may have a magical version with less wind noise. I'll gladly trade it for a newer one if anyone is interested

Well...it looks like it was just a blown fuse from a lose battery connection. But now I have a very strong transmission oil smell. Don't know if it's related yet.

hrm. sometimes its the simplest things we overlook?
Weird on the tranny smell though. Did you know there is a breather hole at the top of the rear differential? I didn't Well until i saw the rear diff coated in gear oil. |

Don't think it's the rear diff. Doesn't look wet. And this was with the car just sitting. Going to get under it this weekend.
Also, I updated the calendar with the Trackdaze VIR event (I'm going) May 5-6 and Summit Point event May 19-20. Anyone want to go to Watkins? |

Summit Point FATT just announced a Twilight Series. 5:00PM - 8:30PM. I did a quick look on their site but couldn't find info. I saw the announcement on their Facebook page.
----- Alright FATTers! Here is the scoop on Twilight Track Time: Twilight at The Track will be the same as FATT except from 5:30-8PM in the afternoon, and can be any day of the week. The track will be open to all participants for the whole 2 1/2 hours giving you more track time than a FATT. You MUST have street legal mufflers to run in this event, and ALL cars will have an instructor in them at ALL times.. Prices are: 7-12 drivers= $300 ea 5-6 drivers= $320 each 4 drivers= $400 each Maximum allowed is 12 drivers. Get some buddies together and call the track to schedule a date. ----- They also have night time seat time but you either need a race license or been cleared to drive solo. Let me know if anyone wants to do this!!! Last edited by siopao2000; 03-29-2012 at 10:46 PM. |

No. I'm guessing it depends what is available when we call to schedule.
Someone asked on their page but fatt hasn't responded. |
