We should be back in the DFW area Friday or Saturday. Please bring the tires to this Sunday's SCCA event, if you can. If not, I'll pick them up next week.
Thanks, Davidss.
SCCA online registration FTW!!!!Quote:
REMEMBER - because you registered online you don't need to wait in the registration line at the trailer. Just sign the waiver when you arrive, check off your name on the registration list (it will be hanging on the side of the trailer) and get your car tech'd. That's it!
I'm in!
I'm in as well.
I'm out - family...
Don't forget kids to stay hydrated on Sunday it is going to toasty!
Fehn will be itching to use that third ice pack.Quote:

Another SCCA winner today! Jimmy laid down a very fast and fun course, and we had a great Tire class battle on it. Congrats to Robert for taking 1st.
Good times. Nice job SCCA gang!
Great course today. Pretty high speed and a lot of fun when you got it right. STR was a great battle today as well - congests to McShane for taking the win!
One of the best TMS courses to date, definitely the best one since they shrunk the lot. Really good to have that level of competition in STR lately. 5+ National-caliber drivers and 12 total makes me really glad I'm in STR.
X-pro, Tire, STX, STS and STR all had exciting battles today. A lot of brand new drivers out there today too. Top notch event!
Good course. The surface really improved as the day went on. Looking at the data I was pulling the same Gs as I normally pull on street tires out there. A6s should have been much higher.

Great course & competition today. I'm still working on my suspension, in denial that one needs an NC or S2000 to succeed in STR.
Here's my video of run #2... fastest raw time but I got jiggy at the end so wasn't clean. Some comments:
1). If you got motion sickness watching "The Blair Witch Project", don't watch this video.
2). If you tape your camera to your helmet, actually test in the car beforehand, not just standing in your garage.
3). Being a cheap bastard sucks.
On point 3, I'm using the $9.99 Android App "Trackmaster" for data gathering. It seems to do a decent job for the price, but I'm still learning how to use. The video was created using "Race Render" software. I'm using the free version (again, see point #3), so I'm assuming that's why it's so pixelated; the original video quality was much higher.
I shared this not because it's particularly great; hopefully some of y'all will download the Trackmaster & RaceRender software and post tips. I was technically competent until a few years ago... now I feel like an old curmudgeon and simply can't figure out new technology. Also, you kids and your "i-everything" get off my lawn!
Awesome course, when I walked it I thought it would be too tight but when I drove it was really really good!
Long shot here... but....
Did anyone pick up a pair of glasses and some GoPro mounting brackets from the cones that separated grid and and the course. Got tied up at the end and forgot to grab them, and when I went back they were gone. The grid was already disassembled, so I'm hoping someone grabbed them and has them. The glasses were missing a lense (just popped out today), but I have the lens and can fix them.
Being in the first run group out there blows...but hey, what can you do. I'll be in Mexico for my best friend's wedding next time around....I'll be sure to think of all you while I've got my toes in the sand as I sip a Corona!

What Mike said - definiely one of the best courses I've run at TMS. No super high peak speeds (I never hit the 2nd gear limiter), but a high average speed course that rewarded both precision and balls. The showcase sweeper through the center of the course, the slalom on the back side of the course, and the finish were all lots of fun.Quote:
