All three cars looked like they were moving. I looked over my vid of 3 sessions I got videos of and it seems I'm running a 1:44 and I can tell my lines sucked from watching you guys lines in the videos. So hopefully next year I can work on my lines and shave some time. And that's with just my JICs, old 195 RE01Rs and a 2.5 inch FM cat back. Maybe by next year I'll have a 99 head, a header, MS, and a lightweight flywheel.
Where was Gary?????? How about some NC fast laps?
For Merv. My car is an SCCA Solo E stock prep-ed car. One inch FM front sway bar, OTS Koni Sports and Enthusa cat back exhaust. I do have a Hard Dog roll bar and a hard top. For Hallett, I was running Nitto NT-01 tires. The best time I got on my MaxQData was 1:42.4 sec. IIFC, last year I did a 1:43.8 sec. with Kumho V710's. In 2008, my first Miatas@Hallett, I did a 1:48 sec. on RT-615's.
I believe Nails ran a 1:36 in his NC - mazdaspeed springs, RP-F1s & Star Specs.Quote:

I ran into the 1:42's with cone-cerned. My car is a 1996 with FM springs, Illuminas, NB front sway, NA rear sway, factory 15's with Kumho Ecsta XS.
Gary 06 NC I/H/M/E Flex RPF1 9" R1s 1:29
Quan 06 NC I/H/M/E Flex RX7 8" RS3's and NTO1's 1:34
Michael 06 NC H/E stock intake and midpipe RPF1 9" Star Specs 1:36
All three cars are 144 -150 rwhp.
I ran a 1:40.28 in my 94 with Ebay Coilover 550/350, Bilstein HD, NB front sway, 15x8, 205 Yoko AD08.
Texas most likely had the fastest NC s out there last weekend even faster than the cosworth supercharged NC that was out there.
1:38xxx: '90 stock w/cai, Koni Race shocks, GC 700/450, RB hollow frt/stock r, 14x7 panasport ultralights w/225 R6, lots of seat time this year.
Considering that most of the attendees track only once a year (give or take) I'd say their times are outstanding.
Thanks all. Nice to hear that Gary got the NC under a 1:30. I'm sure that much rubber did the trick! I agree, everyone did well. Can't wait to come and play.................
I don't know why I'm having so much trouble embedding YouTube. :-(
Watch me get passed by Track Dog, NC Eunos and Nails.
Each lap has a different camera position.
Success at last. yaaaahoooo!
i see your using windows movie maker, under the view section there is a aspect radio option, set it to 16:9. i can tell you have it at 4:3 from the big black borders your video has. you will be able to see more.Quote:

That's where they hid that... Now I don't have to use #($*#$(* Adobe Premiere and waste 3 hours to do a 5 minute task! Woot!Quote:

Very disappointing 1:33.3xx here, considering I ran 1:32.xxx last year. Wags ran my car for a few laps but we have no times to compare. I'm guessing he did a 1:30 or 1:31 right out of the gate. I think I inherited Trey's skirt this year...;(
I am going to cut the transponder off the car next time Johnfag gets in my car. After watching that vid I realized that I need to shift balance and put more grip in the front and leave the rear damping where it is. I'm turning-in too late to get off the corner. This (street) car will easily go sub 1:26...hopefully the driver can get it together.Quote:
