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. |

as a courseworker out there, i couldn't read half of the numbers on the cars...
oh, wait -- that's because half the cars didn't have any damn numbers on them! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) it's Bullshit. it's more than just an inconvenience -- it leads to miscommunications, inaccurate cone-counts, and cones attributed to the wrong cars. i don't care how gorgeous a car is, it needs some legible numbers on it (not just a 4" number with shoe polish) i think that both GGR and LPR have grown too complacent with saftey protocall and rules and such... when people are doing something potentially dangerous, or when they are not playing along with the rules, i think they need talking to. just my 02 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
