Nice advertisement to put on his wall...

HPH....so....?

inside joke

Rich has been good to me.

My "go-to guy"


KT

Guess I am out of the loop on this one

Personally I like this one better

Guess no one saw the humor. I'll go to bed now.

nighty night Randal

I appreciate your humor Randal.

Trek... "sorry to bore you" ???? You kiddin?! Thanks for posting some cool shots!!

not boring...
VERY NICE


hey Trekkor,
you've got to consider trying some wheel to wheel action.
its the next plane of enlightenment.

The amount of exhileration that you would experience, is similar to the difference between street driving and track days!

maybe instead of a new motor, you ought to work towards wheel to wheel this winter?

W2W...

I'm gonna pass on that.

I'm having a good time where I'm at.

In the first pics in this thread the front inside wheel is coming up.

The Photographer, David Wong has seen most of my track progess.
He made the point to stop me in the paddock and comment that he has noticed me getting faster and faster.

If you watch the in-car coverage of the ALMS at Sears they show the speeds of the GT2 class Porsche cars as they exit turn 2... 54 mph.
I exit at 57 mph now!!


David has 914, too, BTW.


KT

The joke is that we sell the pic to Rich B. AT HIGHLY INFLATED PRICES! Get it? If not maybe you haven't shopped there.

trek...i love looking at that car...with the four bolt steelies.....
and its good to see you out in front....at least i hope its out front and not at the ass end of things....
keep it up!!

The thing is...
After you try W2W you will never have as much fun at a drivers school again.
(seriously, it will never be the same)
It is truely that good... you don't know what your missing.
like I said, as big a leap as the track was compaired to the street.

you'd like it!

brant

you are faster than ALMS cars with pro drivers? ..... not thinking so...

factor in your "shorter than normal" tires... about 9% off with 205/50's

Less coasting.

More gas...

Exiting turn 2, yes!! Hard to believe, I know, but this calculation is not based on my unreliable speedo, but 5000 rpms in M ( 3rd ).


KT

Very smart man!

I found this semi-entertaining.

Same lap from in-car. Can you spot the photographer?



KT

About 6 feet from left corner of K wall. Was that David?

Yes and yes.

David's a nice guy.


KT

I have known David for >16 years. He was my first AX instructor at the Zone school. The year I went to it, it was held at Crows Landing in the valley...
Old Navy auxillary airfield...
We used to hold AXs, AX schools, and Time Trials there...

Trekkor,

Tell David to call me about his engine. I can pick it up this weekend. I lost his contact info, but I know where he lives in SunnyVale.


B

Awsome three wheelin bro!! Tell me, did you have a role cage in your car?


Makes my nipples hard.

I currently have a roll bar.
Cage is coming soon.


KT

You going to make the cage out of Fence Posts or EMT tubing from Home Depot??




(BTW - I only make this joke because I recently made a turbo downpipe with an O2 sensor bung and a bursch on the end out of a Home Depot Fencepost... )

ABS drain pipe or 2x4's...

Trek, pleasantly surprised... a car shot. I expected to see a Depot gift certificate!

Cool shot bud. Wish I was there

thanks for the info Eric....I was wondering how that worked.

It's like being baptized. Track days are never the same, you wonder why you didn't see it before. There's a bond with your fellow racers that doesn't exist doing DE or time trial. Someday you'll see.
