I was thinking the same. I've seen lots of supercharged cars run well thru the years. You just need to keep traction but as long as you do, the low end torque is where it's at on an autocross course.

 

Brain will know what to do he has been around plenty of that.

In Greg's case he was on/off on/off and the tensioner unloaded So much it snapped the cast mount off the bracket. After looking at the design, The cast bracket should have had more meat in it.

 

Hey guys. I realize it's been a little while since I've updated this. Here's a few new things to my truck and to my girlfriend's truck.

Claudia got me a new steering wheel for my birthday. I had been tossing around the idea for a little while. It's a Sparco R345 and the adapter is a Momo. Love the wheel. Much better than the 15 1/2 diameter stock one. Got to test it out at the NMCA West Hotchkis Autocross last weekend. More pics from the event below.







Also got a new set of wheels and tires on Claudia's truck. 295/45R18 NT-05's like mine on Level 8 Wheels. I've also got a set of these wheels for my truck coming. I was planning on getting them on my truck first but she beat me to the punch. The stance is perfect with the tire width. Just one slight rubbing issue on the left rear but that was taken car of easily.



Pics from last weekend:





















Only had one issue that weeked. One of my exhaust band clamps had loosened up and the exhaust had slid off the y pipe. Scared me a little but after I realized that it was just a stretched clamp I redneck engineered a quick fix and went about the rest of the weekend with a Redbull can fix haha.













Overall it was a great weekend. Claudia took first place in the truck class Saturday and I did on Sunday. Although it was just the two of us battling it out it was a great time. Should be a few more trucks out next time. Got to meet Brandy and Rob from PCHRods and got to have them ride along and give us a few pointers which helped us both improve. Few more things to come for both trucks. I'll hopefully get a few of them done before the next event. Because Racetrucks.

 

going with the same color as hers with the wheels?

 

The gray is too close to the gray of the truck but different enough to not look right. Ordered black ones, not sure if I'll stick with the black or have them powder-coated Aluminum/silver.

 

Thanks to y'all I have been looking at them too dang it!!!!
Shoulda went with gold.lol

 

I actually thought about the gold haha. Wasn't sure if it would look right.

 

Just heard about this article. Motor Trend was out testing a Miata back in February when Claudia and I were out at the Speed Ventures Autocross. Claudia was making the guy in the miata work for it haha.
