I shoulda got there earlier (and brought my helmet)..........
Nice meeting you Cone_cerned.
That's pretty good! For comparison's sake, J-Fo was running pretty consistent 2:20s in the same run group in his tweaked Evo. lugnutjon and I were running pretty similar lap times, right around ~2:10 on street tires in the RX-8s.Originally Posted by cone-cerned
No harm done.
I looked at my MaxQData, my fastest lap was a 2:33.847. I think that may only be about a minute slower than the lap record.

No doubt deal of the century. Serious good times! Lost of run time, plenty of cool cars.
Nice meeting and putting names to faces. My favorite bits:
1.) Having a huge grill of a Porche SUV fill up my mirror on the warm up lap, then watching him try and hang with me in the corners (that's right, I kicked an SUV's butt LOL).
2.) Seeing cone_cerned's instructor get black flagged for going off "on the pit out lane before the track begins" (I'm not naming names...I amost did the same though..LOL)
3.) Doing 2 complete 360's between turns 1-2 and keeping all 4 on the racing surface (dang, glad them spec boxters have good brakes though!).
4.) Finding just how much speed I can carry through Turn 1 (see above LOL).
5.) Flying into Turn 1 on the last session and seeing a crapload of rocks and dirt on the apex. After the pucker subsided, wondering HOW THE HELL DOES SOMEONE LOSE IT THERE, BASED ON THE DIRECTION OF THE ROCKS AND DIRT THROWN???
6.) Chatting with cone-cerned after the session and discovering he was the one that put the mess in turn one (now that's funny!).
7.) Watching flame shooting Evos blow by like I'm in reverse. And then there's the GTR, and another, and... Yes, it was fun to see them run by.
To much fun to list it all. Love the track. Nice folks. Laid back atmosphere. Close to home. Good times, good times.

I learned to drive by watching the Dukes of Hazzard & Smokey and the Bandit.
Heh... I'll own up to that one. I've put over 1200 track miles on that car this year, and my only "off" happens on pit lane. I'm going to blame it on cold brakes.

Need more instruction!!!
That track entry lane is very tight and slow. I have witness several noobs go off there.
wish i woke up and checked the temps, thought i was going to be cold
I had planned on going, glad I didn't since I think my drive shaft broke later that day.
Blah blah blah!
Last SM race there took 2:06s for pole and 2:07s to race up front. Faster closed wheel cars were deep in the 1:50s
I would love to see the data files on that. Speed in corners must be mad.
I need to run out there.
TXMC: Drinkin, shootin, racin!
Better bring your nike's
Blah blah blah!
