DE at Thunderhill on Friday, good stuff! Options

Well, I'm home a day late. More on that later (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

The weather held up nice all day except for about 15 minutes in the afternoon.
It rained for about ten minutes toward the end of one of my sessions. I stayed out on the track tires ( no tread ) until it started loosing grip. As soon as I came in it started hailing. This caused all drivers to come off immediately.

That was it! Dry conditions all day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

After that rain I put my street tires on expecting more rain.
Nope. No more, so I put the slicks back on for the rest of the sessions.

On the final open session, I broke my throttle cable on the first lap as I was approaching turn 8. This turn is very fast with no where to hide. Because I was parked right in the run off zone the course went full black flag.
End of day...

My best lap was 2:23.
Last time I ran here my best was 2:30 something.
Point of reference: the session I ran on street tires yielded a best lap time of 2:36.
13 seconds!!

Video coming.

My first event with the 914 on the track will be Mid April with CDS.

I will have to try trackmasters later in the year.

video looked pretty good Trekkor.

you lucked out with the weather.

Did you get any instruction at TH?

right now you need to get a good 914 pilot in you passenger's seat to help you with the fine points.
Your general lines are not bad....need to work on staying out a little longer before turn in....braking a little later, back in the throttle a little sooner.

All things that come with seat time, and/or, good 914 jockey sitting next to you.

As Randal says....it doesn't matter because you were on the track and rest of us were sitting at home....wishing.
