    Gary in a Z06???

    What's the story here?  The only GT3 in ProSolo is staying home at Wendover?

    Good luck Gary!

    That, and he seems to have issues with axles on the start. Wink 

    I also heard that he wanted to take it easy on Matthew.

    I think Jason has it right...the first part, not the part about taking it easy on Matthew Wink

    I'll teach Gary how to launch if he teaches me how to shift.  We never broke an axle.... just shifters!  Funny enough only against Isley (GT broke against Isley in 06).......... I think we might be onto something here!

    Halfshafts were $1300 each two years ago, and there has been a price increase since then :-(

    Gary had better win because if Matthew beats him then he'll have to leave the GT3 home for the Finale to prove it's the driver, not the car, that's better....lol.

    Gary,

     That is why I went to FP with Porsche Motorsports 1/2 shafts.  Significantly less. :-)  I do have a pair of OEM 1/2 shafts with app. 600 Pro Solo launches if you are interested.

    Scott, you need to ask yourself before asking Gary to leave the GT3 home...... would it really make a difference. He's gonna be fast either way. I think he should challenge himself and see if the 3rd gen Rx-7 can still trophy!

    If it had a shot it would be at Wendover.... High altitude to choke the NA cars, plus it is always a fast-open course. We still have two very nice SS RX-7tt in Socal.

    I think he's more interested in driving a GT3...on K tires, H tires or whatever happens to be mounted...

    btw, nice work in the R&T article, Gary...heck, another one of my friends becomes too famous for me to talk to...Big Smile
