...the 8 Second club....

...5 seconds longer than some of us ever need.

Is that a spinning triangle from a rotary?

Silly boingers, that's a Reuleaux triangle. And in a Wankel engine they run in an epitrochoid shaped housing.

And I have a new Turbo Encabulator, so no worries with the shape...http://youtu.be/rLDgQg6bq7o

8 Second club

...5 seconds longer than some of us ever need.

That's why I installed an 8-second bell in my bedroom; don't want to short-change her.

more like a tux t-shirt and foam dome helmet.

I just got finished installing some door speakers in the convertible. At least if I can't be fast I can sound good.

Are you gonna bust out a Spirograph and give us a lesson on how it all works?

Interesting course today...I never got the loop right.

Drove by the stadium for the next event...that's going to be an awesome site! Probably not as grippy as Resistol or Pennington but the size is awesome. 60 second courses!!

[ratt_finkel]

Was a solid course. The loop was less of a loop and more of a unique turn. I'd love to try it again on a course that didn't involve a boat launch in the middle of it.

I enjoyed the course, too. I look forward to the new site.

Absolutely a fun day. McShane designed a nice course, especially given the limited space. Let's see what he can do with the new site!

[OZMDD]

Thanks for all the feedback, positive and otherwise. I've learned a lot since my first course last year, and JRJ512 has been very helpful in providing feedback and input on my various drafts. Also, I know its easy to focus on what you didn't like (I do it too), but be sure to commuinicate what you DID like so I know to use those elements.

Too bad the site is small; I really love the grip there, and the tire wear is actually very light for a concrete surface. Look for Test-n-Tune events at that site as Nationals approach.

[ratt_finkel]

I was shocked at how little grip there was. But my butt was last on A&M concrete lol

What I liked. Like the sparse use of cones. Like the drag launch start. Loved the high speed slaloms/offsets. Liked being able to accelerate into the finish. Really liked the really big sweeper minus the ramp of death.

[nomadtrash]

I liked the ramp of death. It's the only thing my car is good at.

Thanks to your photos I have figured out what I need to go faster. I need two blue stripes on the hood and trunk.
