So what's up with all teh n00bs signing up in the Expert group?
How can you tell who is signed up in which group?
I thought run groups were TBD.
Porsche, Cadillac, Vette, E90 = expert lap time out of the box. Believe it or not, Miatas are not for expert drivers.
Fun day. Got down to 2:12 according to Leilanie's stop-watch. Had a good time battling with Ozmdd in my final session.
Had a good day going until I had to bite the dust. Car needs an alinement as it now pulls to the right. Better than replacing body parts. Not really a problem as I have all Winter to get it fixed.
I almost didnt go today but man im glad i did as I had a great time! It was a bit nippy in the morning but once the sun came out it was nice. I logged just over 70 miles and averaged 4.9 mpg but I have no idea what kind if times I had. No matter it was fun and I felt like I was getting faster with each lap and ECR is really fun with HP.
At the track, Miata > 135i.
Car is damn fast in a straight line, manageable in the turns, but brakes are definitely the weak spot. One or two laps at pace, and the brakes are done.
Hate to admit that the noliftflatouttrackjunkies are right sometimes, but today was a total blast! The day was beautiful, the track was fun, and ECR was beyond "class act" in how it opened the track to almost anybody and ran the event so smoothly. Providing corner workers on a day when they weren't making a dime really shows the Christmas Spirit and support for the auto-enthusiast community as a whole. Bravo!
I think the cool temps were a blessing for the Miatas, letting us maximize HP even though grip was tricky. MaxQ shows a 2:10.6 on my best lap, and a few 2:11's and 2:12's. My final session with JJ and Maschmann in his GT3 was the most fun I've had with clothes on all year, I think! The best part was watching the assclown who wouldn't point us by after 3 laps and 4 overtake flags going 4-off as we blew by.
After Lee and I played for a couple laps andwe came in, he got scolded for not pointing me by! LOL. No way I would've made it past him unless he put it in neutral for a few turns.
BTW - thanks to KenO for getting me bumped out of Blue before we started; that would've been frustrating.
I thought this one was the smoothest event.
The last session was the best. Track got warm and the air was still cool. Got down to a 2:03.8 in the stock M3. Not bad.
Any pictures?
