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. |

Ugh... I was up until 2:00 waiting to hear from Brad when Lyressa's car would be done, so I could pick it up and dirve it to Alameda in the morning. After he finished her car, he'd work on mine and trailer it up. That was the plan anyway. Then around 2 he told me to pick the car up at 6:00 and go to the AX. I said (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) forget it. If you want to stay and work on Lyressa's car, fine. But don't stay any later to work on mine. There's no way I can get up at 5:30, get to the shop at 6, drive to Alameda, run and work all day, probably do dinner at Chevy's, and drive (in traffic) back down to the south bay on 3.5hrs of sleep. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) He ended up staying at the shop until about 5:30 anyway. We got almost everything done on my car on Saturday afternoon.
That's awesome about you and Demick's friendly competition. I wish I coulda been there to see it! Jen |
