Tomorrow, I'm off to do battle with the hoards of Japan (one hoar, actually) for FP AX supremacy.....Orygun Region SCCA.

Here's the set-up:

Gutted out 240Z mit hotrod motor & slicks.....a misguided (car wise) 17year vet of the AX wars.

Semi-street legal 914 with hot rod motor & not slicks....driven by an elderly gent (that would be me)
with about 2-3 years of AX learnin'.

I need to pick up 1.5 sec on this guy to make it interesting. My plan is 3, over my haid, DNFs and one clean run, whippin' him like a dog in the street.

Anybody gots a better plan? confused24.gif

get some hooters girls to work the corners while the rusty rice cars are making their runs. that should distract them and slow them down when they miss the apex.
Joe Bob
Get pics....we haven't had any hooter pics in a while....

Whats the story JP, didga kick butt?
J P Stein
Got my hat handed to me....and my haid was in it.
Wait'll next year rolleyes.gif

It was all pretty even till the 3rd runs.
I started going slower and them other guys kept improving.

I know (again) the car is capable as Mr. Skinner (who drove the ulf for time only) dusted us all by a second or 2.

I get to go play again tomorrow and will enjoy the hell out of it. We also have another ORPCA AX next weekend (the 24th).....practice, practice, practice.....
EdwardBlume
Sorry you didn't dust the 240. Better luck next time! beer.gif

There's a ORPCA AX next weekend.
I'll set up a in-car video and see what we get....with sound, of course. Last time I didn't get gud noises. I'll move it to the back hoop this next time.
Brad Roberts
When you focus the camera... before the run.... make sure you can see both front fender pods. For people to undestand what the car will be doing.. they need a reference point. I cant count how many BAD videos I have watched.

Not to mention that the venue was super bumpy. I think many people were in danger of getting airborne at the finish line
