smartmx5 is a TDE instructor.
I just remembered I'm out of town then. Guess I'll catch the next one.
3.1 Mile looks to be CCW direction.
3.1 is always CCW I believe.Quote:

I did this same event last year. We had the heat on full blast, coats, gloves and the windows down. It was buuuuuuurrrrr.
Go to a ski shop and get some burton glove liners. They have grippy stuff on the glove, are warm and give you good feel. About $20 a pair.
I like your style.Quote:

Ken,
I saw you out there chasing a blue C6. I went out there for a few hours as a spectator and then gave a student a check ride in the red run group where I saw you chasing the C6. Later it looked like you were leaving, so I did not flag you down. Looked good on the track!

Ken was giving me a ride that last red session. That boy can drive! I went out after riding with him and dropped 5 seconds off my lap time. Still almost 11 seconds slower than Ken @ 2:38.4, but having fun.Quote:

Ben, I looked for you but didn't see you. I'll look harder tomorrow.

The blue C6 was quick and the 550 HP 991 with the x50 package was quick. Had fun playing tag all day. Might not make it tomorrow.Quote:

Nice video and cool telemetry.
I like the two black stripes, pre-apex in Ricochet. lol
Probably could've been a 2:25 if you'd used all the track in Ricochet and Tombstone - you didn't carry enough speed through either corner. :wink:Quote:

I am impressed with the grip Ken gets from his (IIRC) Nittos!!Quote:

Looks cool but cost is prohibitive around the Christmas holidays.
I got another 4 seconds off my best lap time. As you can see from the video I had poopy lines in a lot of the corners. Not nearly as pretty a lap as Ken posted. In other slower laps I had much better lines. Go figure? This was a super fun session going back and fourth with the green Elise. The fastest laps were when he was setting the pace though. He'd lead for a couple of laps then give me the pass and I'd lead for a couple. Neither of us could drop the other one. That's when it's really fun to me.

This video has been removed because it is too long. Regular YouTube videos must be 10 minutes or less.
:(
I know the lines look a little strange but it was wet and the lines were working...for me.Quote:

Nope, wasn't me. The white mini is Aaron's. I have a silver Miata. I did however go off in the second to last session in the red group. Dang it got slick. I'll post that video in a bit. Should be entertaining. All in all great weekend.Quote:
