Same here. I got a wave-by on track day by a guy in a Z06. Next track day I was running the V710's and I got a wave-by by a guy in a 2008+ Viper. All while I'm running stock HP presently....LOL. Z06 guy said he couldn't keep up with me in the corners, and the Viper I was just eating up the bumper going through one of the chicanes then got a wave-by.

Feels good to do this even when I'm not running my boost. Can't wait till I'm back on boost...

I'm not sponsored by Ptuning, but I do race for their shop. I spent 16 months in Baghdad and my car was left at their shop for testing of many of the products you see them selling for the TC today. They used my car to mock up parts, test fit, test tune, and picture their production parts for the public (If you look at many of the TC pictures on their website for the parts that they offer, you'll see they are on a silver TC).

I have been going to their shop for over 4 years (hard to think it's been that long...where does the time go?). There has never been a day that I haven't found the guys there to be true professionals with overwhelming knowledge and expertise. Over those 4 years, I have developed a friendship with them, enough so to lend them my car in my absense.

I do like the look of the decal on my car, but I proudly display their name and products on my car because of my respect and friendship with them.

I had a great weekend and it was finally nice to have a few people realize i don't need to be in a 500hp car to go fast! I got more than a few shocked looks when i told people the specs on my ST-2 car. I felt really good on saturday being the fastest rwd car on track, and in the top 5 overall. Sunday was tough and while I managed to set a seriously fast time, it was not enough for a rwd victory.

A big bonus to the weekend was being able to witness another ptuning miracle! Seriously transforming Ken's car overnight, and making sure he ran on sunday. Again this is the dedication that I see over and over from PTuning, they will move mountains for their customers! Ken did really well for not having any real track time under his belt, and I'm sure he will only get faster! Justin's car shocked EVERYONE, and I heard so many "dude, that little car is really fast" comments as I was watching their time attack session.

Good stuff guys

Dave Hary in the S-Max Intercoolers/RT Tuning Nissan S14 came in 2nd place with a 1:17.344 followed shortly by a brief encounter with the guardrail after an off-track excursion in turn 1. Anthony Marianelli in a Honda S2000 rounds out the Modified RWD podium with a 1:24.595.


Jose Marcado in his Acura RSX had the best time in the Modified FWD class with a 1:16.069 beating out Kenneth Fox in the PTuning Scion tC who came across the stripe with a 1:20.655. Taking third in Modified FWD was another PTuning Scion, this time an xA driven by Justin Crenshaw to a 1:21.983.

On the second row, Ross Miller and his Corvette lined up next to Jeff Ricca and the 240SXMotoring.com/Ricca Racing Nissan 240SX for Super Modified. Cameron Benner in the COBB Tuning Subaru STI started at the tail end in the third row for the Street Tire Class.

The green flag dropped and it was an all out brawl up front between COBB Tuning’s GTR and the Turn In Concepts WRX. Wiesenhahn stuck to Lock’s back bumper for nearly the entire race attempting to get by Lock a number of times in the braking zone at the end of the front straight.

Unfortunately for Wiesenhahn, he could not get past the blazing fast COBB Tuning GTR. Lock and COBB Tuning took the checkered flag in the Super Session putting the icing on the cake for a great weekend. Tony Wiesenhahn crossed the line in 2nd place with Ross Miller in 3rd, Jeff Ricca in 4th, and Cameron Benner in 5th.
