There is nothing more amusing than watching 2 guys who have never hit the track talking trash about the upcoming track day! ::Banana:: ::Banana:: ::Banana::
What's the current over/under on combined offs?Quote:

Tim the Teacher has lot of power and no experience, but he also has a light foot and a family man sensibility. This would imply a lower likeliness to fill his car with grass, but there is an X-factor with Tim.... Over compensation to stop the slow driver heckling. While I was originally thinking an over/under of .5, I think the X-factor pushes that up to a 1.5.
Combined Over/Under: 3.5

My question is after getting a little track time under his belt, and realizing he doesn't have anything left to spend money on his car...how long before TtT tries to justify an MSR membership to his wife?
Careful, there...we're still figuring up YOUR number!Quote:

Speaking of offs, Anyone heard from Riggs? I figured he'd want to go.
Back on topic. Everybody really gonna leave at 6am. I would like to get up there early, but figure I'll go to Cleveland before going to Sand Springs. So, who's leaving when?
Bah!!! ::Bleh:: I agree my first ever track day at MSR 1 had several spins.Quote:

None at MSR 3. :drive:
None when I ran Streets of Willow. :drive:
One on the Miata track day Gary had at the end of the day and I stopped then and there as I was tired. :oops:
Age, maturity, experience and a family have a way of changing a wreckless deliquent into a pretty ok driver. ;)
I think 6:00 is the time.
Of course, if this is like the departure time of most of the runs I've been on we'll be lucky to get on the road by 8:00
Two cars leaving the Richardson/Plano at 9:00 am - headed straight to Sand Springs for tech.Quote:

#4 Wanting to impress my wife - 1.0
#5 Knowing my own driving skills and abilities +.05
Total: 0 "offs"
I think I can complete the weekend without any "offs" provided I listen carefully and learn to respond to what is coming up on the track more instinctively. I ain't no :cat:
Don't make me get out the video of your headlights popping up and down...Quote:
