Doc1647545523 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hi guys. Marty here, but people call me "Doc." I've just discovered the Columbus racing scene and am new to autocross and tuner cars. I'd been looking for a suitable All Trac donor to make mods to. I'm an SCCA member and this summer started working on the pit crew of Boston-based Flatout Motorsports when they race at Mid-Ohio, IT and ST. I've got a two cars I've had a Sonic, much better cars than I am a driver. The Lotus is an '07 that I bought new at MAG three months ago. This weekend it got an ECU upgrade (lowers cam engagement) and a performance exhaust.... much improved now. The Merc is an '05 that I just drove up from Florida. It's an SL600 with RENNtech package 1, with a claimed 625 hp at the crank, 750 ft/lbs, 11.5 s. At least now I can get a back massage while the Cobalts pull away from me. I've got photos to post, if you want, but am having problems posting currently. Problem fixed. Here are some pics: http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/Lotusrightfront.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/Lotusrear.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/Lotusinterior.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/Lotusmotor.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/SLleftside.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/SLrearRENNtech.jpg http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/July%20cars/SLmotor.jpg 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at Central and Elizabeth street right now, but I leave for out-of-state later tonight and will be back Thursday.

Doc1647545523 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 damn marty...i just moved back to delaware and am looking to settle down with a career. wanna help a young man out? Sure, maybe I could pay you to give me some driving lessons. This shifting thing... it seems to always mess me up. And if I get a JDM GT4, I'll have to learn it all over again but with my left hand. Maybe I should just give YOU the car and text you when I need to be driven somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted July 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thanks Ramsey, starkmaster. I've been taking either the Lotus or my Ducati 999 to Sonic regularly over the last month or so. I had the Merc out on infamous Friday.... had just got in from 15 hrs. on the road from Tampa ..... cleaned the bug jerky off it and brought it to Sonic. I imagine the crowd will be thinning now ...
