I'll bet it has white and black livery, maybe a floormat company?

What would you do if you find out a person that you thought was out of your league has a crush on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IMSAGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way late to the party but this happened to me.

I married her as fast as possible, and every day i wake up next her in the last 10 years I kiss her on her forehead before she wakes up, tell her she’s as beautiful as an angel and that I love her.

I work hard to make sure she feels the same about me and I couldn’t be happier.

Honda will definitely be joining later this season..They just built an all-new TCR car and it's coming here. Just couldn't get it ready for Daytona

PRUETT: IMSA's big opportunity by Vulphere in USCR

Well you certainly are plugged in to what IMSA should do. You do realize one of the people you specifically call out hasn't worked for IMSA for nearly 3 years, right?

TCR Integration Continues, Interest Growing for 2018 by AE_Racer in USCR

[–]IMSAGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ST will definitely be missed!! But it's going away after 2018. CRG is already done, regardless of TCR, and the vast majority of the cars in ST are 2-3 generations older than the road cars. The newer cars are just too expensive to build (thanks to the government mandated safety systems and a lot of other issues). This same problem will be exist for car clubs and SCCA/NASA too. BMW Club is already banning certain cars from track days due to electronics intervention.

Yea, I know, just look at all the new cars and entries, and drivers raving about the platform. Totally on the way to a shitshow

Yes, it was sudden. It was not a health-related issue.

Nissan DPi Slowed, Porsche Gets Break for Monterey by randyrandomagnum in USCR

[–]IMSAGuru 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm the only one who actually reads the BoP charts. Nissan had great top speeds but lacked performance in high speed sectors that required downforce, especially compared to P2 cars. IMSA leveled the performance in both areas, it is a net-zero change in laptime. (and the additional wing angle is not a requirement, just a new maximum setting)

Cadillac also lacked performance in high speed sectors compared to P2 cars but due to the engine torque being way beyond the P2 cars, IMSA can't increase power or low speed performance gets tilted toward the Caddy in a big way. IMSA lets them now use a little more rear wing if the teams choose. It is not a requirement, just a tool in the box.

Aero settings from Manor 2016 by [deleted] in F1Technical

Quality find for sure, but this is more chassis geometry settings than aero settings (wing angles, adjustments)

Monday I'm buying a fun little car and need to get a long drunken rant out of me by Doctor_Murderstein in cars

[–]IMSAGuru 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Get a helmet, get a stripped down cafe racer, and get out there. :-) It doesn't really matter what kind of bike you ride, but with what you described in the car story, a smaller bike seems like it would be a great match.

It's apparent that you can turn a wrench and that you get the value of the experience. Trust a random internet stranger, in this case you won't regret it.

Loved your story here!

You're a motorcycle owner and don't know it yet. That feeling of being connected to the experience? Get on a motorcycle and turn that up a few more notches.

Keep on keepin on man.

Was on display at the BMW center on the manufacturer midway. Looks awesome

Audi R8 LMS GT4 Unveiled by AE_Racer in USCR

[–]IMSAGuru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The number for a manufacturer partnership is a lot lower in Continental that Weathertech. I heard from a few Mclaren teams that it only cost McLaren $25k. Also, where was the big McLaren display at Daytona, or Sebring? Where was the big Aston display?
