Cool. Thanks. I don't care much about my lap time as long as I'm having fun and not sliding too much. All I know is I passed many cars in yellow group and pointed no one by except Jeffman and I waved to him instead of pointing.
:burnrubr:
Glad to hear that y'all had a fun time. Wish I would've been able to make it, but this is peak deer season.
H2R has a HPDE in December w/o the ASE inspection requirement and longer sessions.

Ben, nice meeting you - sorry about your brake line troubles.
I had a great time, just wish my tires were still more in the prime of their life. The Star Specs have been great, but I think I'm ready to move to NT-01's next. ::Banana::
1:33's here w/ a passenger and a full tank of gas.Quote:

That maroon turbo 300Z was awfully patient. I heard it was about 600hp. I was watching it in your group from the grid. It looked like to me that it went faster up the hill than my car could go down the hill! So, I guess that's what it takes for a Porsche to concede? Is there something in Porsche owners' manuals that says, "Warranty voided if tab removed by anyone other than consumer, or if a red Miata is all up in your a$$."
PS I won't tell anyone you passed on the right.
Thanks. Luckily a Miata line fit. Don't know how, but I'm not fighting it. It was nice meeting everyone and I'm glad we all made it back safely.Quote:

Ben, that Miata brake line is a start. I think you should keep adding Miata parts until you've changed everything. :rolleyes:
That Z is a very fast car with a very fast driver. On a clear track he was running in the 1.26 range last time we were out IIRC. Could have been faster for all I know?Quote:

Geezer's too modest. For those not familiar with Harris Hill yet; he's done a 1:26 in his normally aspirated NC and holds the sixth spot on the track's totem board. I think the best spec miata time is a 1:30.
I had a 0:51 but it was only half a lap.
Had a blast this last weekend...don't think I would of done so well without the help of geezer...thanks alot Jamie for ride in that sweet Aston and for all your instruting help. Would love to see that nc in action in the future!Quote:

That's what we tell the insurance companies! :DQuote:
