SLC on the Banking at Daytona

[Fran Hall RCR]

Last weekend the Bluegrass Motorsports guys were "playing with" their car on the high banks of Daytona....
There were some serious impacts with the walls by some of the Porsche guys so the guys were taking it easy...

The SL-C reportedly only ran 194mph on the Banking....with more in the tank....:stunned:

ONLY???? Holy crap!!!

Those are great pics! Any video? Did they have any comments on how it felt at speed? I have always wondered how the SLC would do as a "mile" car. I am looking into a couple of mile events on the East coast for 2012.

"predictable, good brakes, good feedback, easy to drive...SL-C is happy as a clam"

No aero lift ...right front tyre got a work out and touched the body on heavy suspension loads early in the day, stiffened up the corner and no further issues.

I think there is a Youtube video from street tyre session....later runs were with Hoosiers..
I will try and find it ....

Holy moly....194?

Were you guys running the bus stop? If you were, WOW.....that's Daytona Prototype performance levels.

Nice work.

What engine? Dry sump, I assume?

What engine? Dry sump, I assume?

Stock LS7, with forged pistons and the usual Peterson tank for the factory dry sump.

Gotta like that!

Impressive. I love that the SL-C has found its way on to the race tracks to strut its stuff.
