DTP525

Had a nice weekend at Texas World Speedway. This is the second event here this year for NASA TX but we're going CCW this time. I was really bummed out after NASA East Nationals earlier at Road Atlanta as I didn't drive the way I should have. I didn't make any changes to the car and just decided to go out and just focus on my driving. Didn't even run stickers. I was able to run a 1:51.776, edging out Allan Page who got a podium finish and was 3 secs faster than me at Nationals Road Atlanta in an E46 M3. The time was also good enough for 1st place in TT3, 3rd place in TT2 and 5th place in TT1. With the year winding down, I feel good about next year as I'm planning to stay in TTB and compete at Nationals again, this time at VIR. Some changes happening in the 'offseason' to bring a -built to the rules- TTB S2000 to NASA Nationals for 2015. Stay tuned. Big thanks to my supporters.

Nice drive. Congrats Dyson! What are your plans to optimize for TTB?

Thanks again Wynn. Will you be at NOLA in Nov? If so, I'd like to share some setup talk with ya.

I'm tuned. Would love details on your "built to the rules" TTB S2000.

Congrats!

Can you share some details on your setup?

good work beating alan!
I don't know how you can make TTB work at a HP track If I was running I'd go for TTC* with a 225 R7

Thanks Dan. I think TTC is where the S2k belongs and does really well and is top tier competitive. However, with that being said, I'm going to stay in TTB where the S2k is definitely the underdog and not the best platform to take on cars at 10.5 p/wt ratio, but that's the challenge I find myself most excited and passionate about.

I don't want to say to much about my 2015 setup at this moment for TTB as the rules are really 'liquid' right now but I will say that I'm planning to be at 10.8-10.9 ratio. I have not been running the most optimal TTB this year at all. The only difference between me and a TTC S2k is that I'm running 245s vs 225s and a bit better front aero. My current ratio pwr/wt is 12.1

10.8 - 10.9 will give you B* baseclass I would guess. Going to have to run 0 point tires

True but you're looking at it from a Reclass point of view *wink*
