Did 4+ hours (8.5 sessions) at MSR-C 3.1 this weekend. Car was solid -- even though my instructor managed to take it across the curbing entering rattlesnake at a very disconcerting angle (got a little grass in the rim -- no other damage, accounts for the half session).
Looking forward to Hallet on Saturday. Will be my 3rd time on a track -- ever!
Silver #62!
You going to borrow Laramie's? ;)Quote:

Have there been any problems in the past with issues like this?
A roll bar is fine. You don't need a full cage. There are plenty of guys here running NT01 tires and a roll bar - we've never had a problem in the past.
If you have a real roll bar and not a style bar you will be fine on the Nittos.
Don't be this guy! ::Drive2::

You're fine, well within the rules. We've all been running there for years with roll-bars.Quote:

OK, I actually have most of the other things as well. Didn't think about the chair and cooler; good idea.
Seriously, there's not much to hit out there. You might go off, but you'll be fine. Hell, they even tell you how to go off track in the noob drivers' meeting.
I'm just going this weekend to hang out and instruct on Saturday, so if anyone needs some help on Friday and needs a ride along, just come find me. Car port at the end with the silver NC and black Ridgeline.

I might just take you up on your offer for a ride along. I'll see you up there.

First time on r comps...awesome!
Saw dust fly with one of Williams offs, no video, camera malfunction...

Oh no, I hope his car didn't get dirty! :drive:

Good times and no incidents.
I was only two tenths faster than last year (nothing changed on the car), so my best was 1:35.684. Not bad for a 1.6 on street tires.
The big surprise was EricJ. Man, he got faster!
It has been announced that it will happen again the second weekend of September 2014.
Another great event at Hallett. Thanks Connie for having this event each year. The fasted lap time was posted by Gary Shuhart in his yellow super charged car at 127.4, If I remember correctly. Best I could manage was a 135.1.
Slow but fun weekend.
Fun weekend. Great weather. Connie and the rest of the Hallett guys put on a great event. Fun hanging out. Wags thanks for the tip on the shock settings, that with the instruction for jrh512 on how to properly do corner one and the R-Comps combined for a 132.6.
Here is my fastest lap:

That is NealB passing me at the end. We were running within 10ths of each other, so we just kept swapping lead/follow.
Absolutely fabulous time, as usual. I got in 71 laps on Friday and 54 laps on Saturday making a total of about 225 miles. And I only used half a tank of gas....not.
Great meeting gsyk59 and GroceryHauler. I saw a silver 1.6 number 62, but did not get to meet the driver.
Did a personal best on Friday, 1:38.522 seconds.
Nice - so that's your fastest lap in 2014? ;)Quote:

Where's the like button?
The wheels look great but you had a NB evil twin.
Sorry, they made a bunch of Emerald Green in '99 and the wheels were used, so no color choice.Quote:

However, I'm still butt-hurt over not running FTD. I really regret selling the turbo stuff right now.
Gary get the FTD again?
