NJ/Bergen County Mechanic Wanted

Figured the weather was going to be "iffy" - usually is at the Glen once October rolls in.

Is is a great running car, I love mine. Only issue has been getting it set up correctly. Since it is a new design (only 8 on the track now) it has taken a lot of trial and error - but it looks like a few of us are there now.

If I am correct, Bob B. also owned the Lowenbrau car a few cars ago.

Were you driving or just watching that weekend?

Just hanging out with the guys, all my toys are currently sold. A new addition is on the horizon in the spring (track related).

Not sure who Tom bought the Lowenbrau car from, I beleive he sold it last year when he retired. That red Diasio looked pretty beefy, they are really getting a lot of tire under them now.

We are running 350's in the rear. The natural aspirated cars are putting out about 265 hp at the crank (210 at the wheels), mine with a turbo and a modest 7lbs of boost kicks out about 435 at the crank (370 at the wheels). Need a lot of rubber to keep the car on the track.

Car is actually very easy to drive once it has been set-up properly. Furthermore it is built like a tank. No concerns about safety and walking away in the event of an accident or driver error.

The red Diasio ran second in the race (started third) after the turbo Porsche blowed up. I don't know how he finished Sunday because I left before the race started.

Told you would be very happy with Nick and Rob at G&S Auto as well. They have been doing a lot of work on my Diasio last year and I am planning on having them do more work on my other street cars in 2008.
