jrj512- Excellent showing this weekend. I was really impressed w/ the handling being on street tires. You have really smoothed out over the off season. Or were you just taking easy; if so, look out because you will definitely be a force to be reoconed with.
Thanks! I think the new shocks made for much smoother transistions.Quote:

I thought the Lotus was wearing a set of Azenis???Quote:

The red Lotus, on the other hand, might have been running the stock ~R-compound tires.
However, R-compunds would explain his times. If he was on street tires (and I suspect he was), then he is one fast mofo. We will have to catch him.
Ken's Elise, the Gray one, was on Azenis. The Red one could have been on A048's, not sure.Quote:

Lotus doesn't use the same size wheel for the entire car like a Miata. ;)Quote:

The driver of the Red Lotus was DSQ at the ER event for not working both work assignments. He was not the only one. :punchout:
Ah, I didn't know that. Interesting. You know the Japanese run skinnys in the rear and biggies on the front for road courses. I guess it helps in rotating of the car. I saw the red's tires layin' there and thought why would someone go to the expense of buying a cool rim to go on their spare? They SURE are skinny when compared to others.
Are they going to be allowed to run the upcoming event? How does ER handle ::Censor:: guys that bug out early?Quote:

Yeah me.... I didn't finish dead last in the Novice class. I also did not hit any cones or DNF. Go Me!
Good job Teddy Reddy. Hope you plan on attending many more and keep improving. Seat time equals beat time.
Just found out what a small world it is....
Stopped in the break room here at work to pick up a soda and bumped into Ted the Red! I didn't recognize him at first, but he was quick to catch me up. I thought I recognized his car in the parking lot this morning, but wasn't sure.
Now he'll really know how little work I actually do...

I had the same thing happen. I bumped into a cone at a contruction site last week and it turned out to be one from an SCCA event at Mineral Wells last year. Amzing, isn't it? :D
