You guys running again?

Renting a seat this time around. How about you?

Deciding between two teams - my old BMW "Kids Racing for Life" Team and KSR Racing
BMW - good group of guys but can't get through a race without changing major parts
or KSR, past Winner
KSR costs more

George and I hooked up with Elon.
My Porsche won't be ready on time for September, maybe December though.

Their cars are usually prepped well. Even if Kevin is a total tool. Should be fun!

See you guys tomorrow. What Pit are you in? We are in 45, 46
Posted by: Jetsetsurfshop Sep 20 2018, 05:12 AM
Looks like from the pit assignments that were on opposite ends.
Were number 14.
Two other members are racing that I know of.
Seabird (Miguel) is with the Mad Motorsports crew. Pit #23
ablesnead (Lorin) is with Team Casual, I think. They usually run a Miata, but the list shows a RX-7? He's in Pit#44
STAY HYDRATED!

I'll be there, SLS racing #575. Not sure of pit number but I'll have plenty of time to visit!

914 Dinner Fri Night?
Posted by: tooms350 Sep 20 2018, 06:42 AM
Sure thing, I'll be in town.

Cool, Joe! I didn't know you were going. Looking forward to seeing TC and Miguel as well. Shane and I are excited to drive a car we don't have to work on.
Last time I drove a beemer it was fun. Randy Pobst drove the car last year and was consistently in the 2:40 range, with a couple laps in the 2:39. Wonder how close any of us will get.

Dinner sounds great!

Hey George, it was kinda last minute. SLS needed a third driver and the price is right so I'm in! Anyone been to the cattleman club lately?
Posted by: Jetsetsurfshop Sep 20 2018, 10:20 AM
I'm in for dinner too.

Though Elon does throw down quite the feast on Friday night...
Posted by: Jetsetsurfshop Sep 20 2018, 11:14 AM
I wonder if he does a drivers meeting then??

What a bummer of a weekend. Our car only did 2 laps and finished in dead last after a radiator hose popped off, toasting the head. However, it was fun watching TC and Joe, both of whose cars did really well. As they say, 'That's racin.'

My car finished 2nd in Class. Our other car Won Overall

Bummer weekend for George and I.

What kind of lap times was that Z running? I know it has to be faster than when I saw it on track.

What a bad break for you guys, I say we get a team together. I know where there's a caged fiero looking for an engine...

I think my fastest lap was 2:38
Posted by: tooms350 Sep 25 2018, 06:41 AM
That's what I thought, someone must have been having a bad couple laps when I saw it out there. I was running 2.48, 2.50s in a miata 1
8.

The other thing was we were having Tire problems on the car so I know the guy before me was having issues. When I got in they put new tire in front, which upset the balance making the rear very loose. One Lap I would be very good, the next with a couple of marbles or a drop of fluid off a car in front and the car would be all over the place.
We were told that the Tranny was the weak link, so in my case I was short shifting a bunch to make sure the car made it thru my stint. The guy after me had the same tire issues and he complained that the brakes were soft.
