ER Challenge Cup #6, Sun 8/22/10, Pennington Field

I plan to attend this one so Jimmie can keep getting used to my car for Nats. I think Madarash is doing the course.

Out. Gotta get a new exhaust welded up Saturday, which means kid duty on Sunday.

Besides - Pennington sucks. ::Bleh::

I'll be in town. Anyone got an open seat? People have told me I'm only slighty annoying...

More emphasis on the "annoying" part than "slightly". :wink:

Just kidding. Stephen is a stand up guy and a good co-driver!

I just got the ER reminder email, and it is a Madarsh course. He usually creates a fun and unique course.

Invade away. The more the merrier.
Let's watch out for our friends from the great white North because they might not be prepared for 103 degrees this Sunday.

Don't worry, I won't melt! I am in Dallas most weeks, and head back to Wisconsin most weekends.

BTW - drove an Miata MX5-MSR in the street tire class at the CenDiv in Milwaukee this year. Although the car is a bit of an anti-Z06, once I figured it out it was a hoot to drive. I finished closer to the class leader in the MX-5 than I did in the Z06 at the National Street Tire Challenge earlier this year.

Good course, even if it did kick my ass. Congrats to vetteblues for beating me in my own car. Back to the setup drawing board...

If Baby Jesus beat you in the same car wouldn't that be more of a driver issue than a setup issue?? :confused:

Actually, I thought it was Fat Jesus. Anyway, The Jesus has much of the same feedback that Mike already knew -- the car is not rotating well. I blame Miatamoto. ::Banana::

I could've told Mike this before he even bought the car. If he'd ever get around to swapping to the front spring rate I recommended months ago... :wink:

I'm pretty sure the blessing was a little different. OZMDD should have the seats cleaned.

Well, I hade some changes before I ran it int he afternoon, and I learned that the car DOES need some kind of front bar. :)

Funny, but the poor-rotating setup is faster than all the good-rotating cars out there! :)

Hey it was hot out there... beard does not help at all, but got to give the people what the people want.

Mike, the car looked like it was rotating fine to me. Most cars will be pushy at PMS, due to the high grip, tight turns, and low speeds.

Agree on the "most cars being pushy at PMS". OZMDD and I have already consulted on this today. :)
