PCA Time Trial - Motorsport Ranch - Sun. Oct 23rd, 2011

[mwortham]

I had an awesome time at this - it was great meeting some of you face-to-face, and seeing others out there again.

My very last run was my fastest by .5 seconds, which is always a good way to end the day. Given that it was my first time on a track, my not-so-ideal tires and the "OMG I HAVE NO BRAKES" moments, I'm very happy with my 84.something fastest time, too - Huge thanks to Mark for braving my driving to ride along and give advice, I was pretty consistently improving as the laps ticked by so it was definitely helping me out!

Anybody happen to snap any pictures?

It was nice to meet you Allen. You were doing a great job attacking the corners of a very challenging track. You probably could have dropped a few seconds if you had kicked my fat butt out of the car! Hopefully I'll see you around at some of the other events in the area.

Many thanks to Travis and all the folks who helped to put on the event. It was a blast! Man, the 1.3 is a hoot!

Fastest guy has the biggest trailer and STILL looks fast on the highway.

You just piddled a little, didn't you?

BTW, I do not think there has ever been over 100 posts on a PCA event.

Congrats to the PCA! It just goes to show that if you build it they will come. The PCA should do more TT's

[OZMDD]

More specifically, they should do more TT's at MSR and TMS road course.

Finally sorted through the video from the GoPro, I think this is my fastest run from each heat:

Cool camera position under the front end. It really gave the sensation of speed.

I heard that JDM comment on this forum several years ago. It might have been Jeffman that said it.

FINALLY, here they are: http://pcattmsr102311.shutterfly.com/pictures

At least, I think that should be the pictures I posted. That's what I get when I go to the link. If it doesn't work, let me know... apparently Shutterfly is going to try to turn itself into a half-azz social networking site, about 3 years after that became a bit overdone.

I tried to get at least one of everyone... the only ones I know I missed were in the Blue sessions, driving somewhere near when I drove. If you want the original size, PM me and let me know.

Oh sad days... The cute blue/white miata is mia.

Besides that, nice shots!
