PCA TT Motorsport Ranch - Sun 10/14/12

So we are to be at MSR at 7am. Anyone down for breakfast in Benbrook before? There a whataburger we hit last year, but I'm thinking that some early Jack In the Box a couple doors down sounds good too. Right at 820 and 377. When you exit they are on the right.
Anyone wanna do food beforehand?

When do we find out if we are actually in or not? There are 50+ people registered, is there a cap?

Don't worry, you'll be in. You are the Great Cosmos of the Galaxy!

Confirmed and paid. Looks like 59 people are in and 11 on the wait list. That's going to be a crowded track day!

Yeah, I got an email last night saying I was on the waiting list. I signed up back on 9/28 when there were about 38 cars on the roster, so I'm not sure how they determined who would be placed on the waiting list. They said they'd let me know by Friday evening if I'm in or not.

Well fuck. Just spoke with Majestic Honda and my new CV joints won't ship until Friday, so it looks like I'm out for this one. ::Rant::

I was confirmed and paid, so that will free up one spot on the waiting list.

Typically, they are looking at track experience and whether or not you've run other PCA events when deciding who makes the cut and who is wait-listed.

So what is everyone's best time on the 1.3 so far? I've only been once and ran a 1:09 in traffic.

Last year (my first time on the 1.3) I did a 1:15.387 in a 1.6 on street tires. I have no idea how that compares to other Miatas of the same setup.

I ran a 1:12.0 on awesome DZ101s with 4 bent rods.

I did a DE out there last March with Apex. My best lap was 1:14:08 back when I had Hankook V12s on the car. I've since upgraded to Star Specs, so I was hoping to get out there and see what I can do on Sunday. Hopefully I'll get moved off the waiting list.

I was confirmed, this will be my 3rd PCA TT in the last year.

my best time is slower than all yours, but I have just as much fun if not more!

Not when I measured the 4th... It was bent... Just not as easy to see from 3 feet away.

1:10.8 on 175-autox-run RS3's last year.

Dang, Wortham is fast. 1:05.7 wonder if that was on R's.

1:11.08 in the RX-8 on corded Toyo R888s. Was hoping for a 1:09.xx in the S2000 this weekend. :(

The S2K is 2 seconds faster than the RX-8 on R comps?

I'd hope the S2K is faster than an RX8 on low-budget suspension and worn-out tires, R-comp or no. The stook is lighter, more power and TQ, and on quality suspension.

At the last Apex I did, I was faster than a good driver in an Exige because his tired R-comps couldn't hold 1G, while I was getting 1.2G from RS3's.

Or because he wasn't willing to push his car as hard for fear of an off that would require replacing a body panel(s) worth as much as an entire NC. The Lotus isn't very forgiving if you mess up on track.

I took my Elise off-road all the time. Made a great all-terrain plow with its solid body panels.

R888s aren't any faster than RS-3s in my experience, and I've got a nearly new set of RS-3s, versus ~40 track sessions on that set of R888s when I set that time.

As for the rest, what Mike said. Published torque and HP is basically a wash between an AP1 and an RX-8, but we both know that an AP1 typically dynos 10-20 HP higher than an RX-8 in the real world. Plus it's ~200 pounds lighter. The S2k should be able to reach higher peak speeds in the acceleration sections.

And really, a high 1:09 is only a little over a second faster than 1:11.08. ;)

Name a place and time. Sit at a table and wait for a douche in a Lotus to show up and lie to you.
