Great 914 day out at Alameda AX today. I know 914's were in many of the top placings and I think Steve blew everyone away - think I saw a 53 second time posted at one point? Great competition between Nathan and Demick in FM at one point they set the same exact time to the hundreth of a second on the same run! I think Demick took a class win with a clean 58 second something run. ...if Nathan hadnt of picked up a cone on his fastest run he would have taken FM with a low 58.
I spent the day learning how to drive my car. My Yoko's just didnt seem to like the surface when I got moving fast. I also have to admit that I have a hard time seeing the course at times. I guess that just comes with practice. I still managed a to set a 1:01. Nathan, thanks for the tip on taking the inside line on the circle. It definitely helped my exit speed. |

just got back from the weekend -- great time on saturday... the track was a little awkward imho,
demick and I matched times on the same run -- literally back to back -- to the thousanth of a second. that's how close we were running. i'd run a little faster, then he'd beat me -- then i'd beat him, then he'd edge ahead. it was great fun. re. my last run -- it all came together for me, but he beat me fair and square: cones count. good times, demick! enjoy your vacation. i was happy with my pm times, and felt my driving improve a little. britain and grant were both in really good form out there. both of them could use more tire and power (especially britain). anthony stopped by and drove the snot out of his gorgeous stock silver car. andrew blyholder was obscenely fast. bummer that steve was having technical problems. howard stopped by to chat. tried to lobby for him to ride the course on his ducati. andy, brad, lyressa, trekkor, dave, jenny et al were all missed. jenny, your car looked done to me on friday night -- what gives? trekkor, you couldn't get your brakes finished in time? again, you were all missed.
