first ax today. forecast, 80, sun, low humidity, and as few cones as possible. nice setting. you have the olympic mountains on nearly three sides.it's been nearly 6 weeks since the last one. with the weather i'm guessing a big turn out. i'm pretty jazzed.

Kevin,

Are you sure it's today?

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 30 2003, 11:52 AM

Yeah, its today and I am not going!
Hope you add the extra 1/2 qt of oil! Watch those oil temps on a hot day too.

Kevin It's to bad you weren't at home today, there was a special delivery of a 914CLUB t shirt. Only thing you had to be there to sign for it or it went to the next person on the list.

We'll need a report and pics.....moderate bragging is allowed. If bragging is not in order, PM me for a list of excuses....I have a few that I haven't used yet.

Wow, nice t-shirt!! Brings to mind the old ZZ Topp song "Sharp Dressed Man".. no beard, though.

My bet is Roadyguy got a huge sunburn plus sore smile muscles!

Nah, he put sunscreen on his bald spot! had a good time today. Kevin had fun as well. Course was fast. The 200# rear springs I added helped so much it is ridiculous. It was hot! Working cones was hard because yoiu could not escape the f'in sun

oh boy! 1st, too busy to even look at the time board, 3 gates. the magic # seemed to be 6 for a instructor ride along. 2, 74 something 1 gate. 3, 74 something 0 gates/cones with a BIG spin (but i didn't kill the motor). 4, 66 and change, clean run. a positve day overall. a very long course with a few high speed sections. the sun was brutal. my wife got the spin nicely but the dialup is a no go for posting the video. the announcer saying "oh no" on the audio is funny.

Sounds like ya done good, Kevin. Yes, the sun can be brutal when it hits 85 degrees at Bremerton as there no shade anywhere except inside of the cars!

here's a funny footnote. granted, yesterday was warm. drove up with the top off wearing sweats and the heat ON. TODAY, HEAT STILL ON! i can't believe it. no wonder it was so damn warm.

"got heat? by the car full"

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 31 2003, 05:21 PM

Is the grin off your face yet? or is it still stuck on like the heater?

i'm hooked. the adrenalin was all jacked up, hands a little shaky. jeanne thought something was wrong. next month i'll do the drivers skill day. for $40 those guys drove ALL day. included lunch. we didn't even run gtu until 2:30 or 3. long f-in day for less than 300 seconds.

"yeah, but it's a fun 5 minutes"

Posted by: Bleyseng Aug 31 2003, 08:39 PM

Yeah, it looks soooo easy but once you press down on the gas petal its " Where in the world am I supposed to go in all these effin cones!!" lol
Glad you spun too, great fun to do that at 50 mph!

Sounds like you had a great time. Way to go. Looks like you are a fast learner, the way the times dropped.
