I've got 6-Kumho's for sale cheap! All you need is some 14" wheels. Actually, the lighter wheels/tires will probably be a good thing for your 9.2 hp monster.Quote:

Yeah, it lets you know who the really slow drivers are. ;)Quote:

That Volvo 1800 is kick ass! How did the Panawhatever Porsche Pig do on the track? NC's with hardtop look so sweet!
Glad you all had a fun safe time!
They didn't throw it around the track, just did some parade laps with it. But from what I heard it was still pretty quick. Also Chris got that top for a steal.Quote:

Chris played with him. Chris was a little faster but I think Chris had a better suspension setup plus wider wheels and better tires.Quote:

I saw someone do a pull off......hahaha
Might want to check your alignment or pressures next time. Generally at HHR my left front gets abused *far* more than my RF.

Yes, I passed him twice, but the 2nd time esp. he made me work hard for it - he was driving the wheels off of that car! I was much slower when mine was stock. Hopefully I'll get our 2nd battle uploaded later this week.Quote:

:clap: lol...love the song being played for the video
Thanks, glad you liked it, since I have a very limited # of songs to choose from. I'm using MSFT Movie Maker, and MSFT refuses to acknowledge the popularity of .ac3 (or .aac?) files which comprise the vast majority of my music library.Quote:

Nice videos!
Ben, glad your brake fail was at 4 and not 5 or 10. You need to take my car for some laps at the next track day. Then you'll finish converting your car with Miata parts. ;)
Chris, loved the music with the videos. Very fast, smooth driving but a question about your line. Is that your usual line or were you taking a more conservative line either due to passengers or trying to preserve tire wear? It looked like you weren't quite to the edges of the track.
I got to figure out how to upload the little bit of video I have. My camera quit early in session 2 and 3. I got some of 4 but didn't set it up for session 1. I got the last session at Hallett too.
Michael, using more of the track is one of my improvement opportunities, as I tend to be conservative there...but I've never gone off track or spun on the track, and I hope to keep that record intact. :)
I also sometimes take different lines when I'm behind slower traffic, since I don't need as much track and also try to be noticeable in their mirrors.

on the plus side now that i have my suspension set properly i didn't get side wise at all and had no signs of the car fighting me in the turns. cleanest track day i have ever had.
That's cool Chris. I wouldn't want to spin and possibly mess up such a nice new car either. But I was just wondering why your line was different then what I was shown by Richard and James. As for slow traffic, I tend to still stay on line for reinforcement and I think the crossing back and forth tends to attract their attention better than staying static behind them on their slower line. In any case you were much faster and smoother than I was. My heel/toe is where I need lots of improvement. That and poor throttle modulation is why I tend to spin occasionally.
PS. Nice job Jeffman. First clean track day you had in awhile! Still wish you had video of my spin and wave though.
