Re: Ty in One Lap of America.
Hey Guys,
Just got back from Hallett Raceway, outside of Stillwater, Oklahoma towards Tulsa..... got to meet Scott Breneman who is campaigning the Ty! What an awesome day! Sorry, in advance, for the length of this post... but thought you'd all enjoy the pics.
The Raceway..
Hey, Look what I found!
See the trailer in the background? The Ty tows that from raceway to raceway....
Well, there's a name on the roof...
And, here he is in person.... Scott Breneman - heck of a nice guy. I talked with Scott for quite a while. Very nice that he took time out of a hectic day to talk to a Sy owner... he was very happy to see someone from the Sy/Ty community there... I was walking around with my Myclone donation T-shirt on (gray Syclone one), and I heard this voice say, "Nice T-shirt!" - it was Scott and hid Dad, Bob.
His dad, Bob, was with him cuz' his co-driver had to go to the hospital with the wife... something about a baby coming - hmmm, race or have a baby???
OH, oh.... something missing in this pic.....
Yup, definitely something gone here....
Scott told me his garage door attacked his Ty. He glued it back on with epoxy, but on one of the stints he looked back and saw it flying off the back of the truck. Being a smart boy, he stopped and went back and picked up his $300 piece of cladding
Nice plate for this little trip!
See those white spots on the tires? Those let the One Lap of America organizers know if the tires have been changed...
C5 brakes all around - ABS delete
Hmmm, what's under the hood?
Well, bowtie block, vortec heads, I think Scott said Eldebrock intake, stock exhaust manifolds, and a bunch of other stuff!
But wait!!! ...... what?? No intercooler! Nope, just water injection :squint:
Scott says 150 degree intake temps down the long straights.. not too bad!
Other things I could see were, ABS delete, custom radiator, stock turbo housing with new compressor housing (Scott says better for extended WOT use), H2O injection - injected right at the center of the compressor wheel, MSD ignition, Accel engine management, billet fuel rails, Efan, and this custom intake.
Scott said that underhood temps can get so high that it can melt solder on circuit traces.... ouch!
Putting it all to work! ......
Nice corner entry
Entering the apex....
And exiting... Scott reallly did a great job on this track...
I'll be putting up a bunch of pics from the rest of the day showing some of the other cars, including the Odyssey... the one shown on an earlier post isn't the same one racing.
Also, visit my photobucket page (address in my sig) - I've got a video of Scott going thru this turn.
Oh, and you'll have to ask Scott about his little off-track excursion - does 3 1/2 high-speed donuts mean anything??
