New lapping day gets a new thread I didn't drive, Mike did. Chris took pictures from out on the course and I honestly can't wait to see them since his camera is much nicer than mine! Mine are also somewhat out of order due to my camera being retarded.

All of my pictures are here: http://pics.dpsubs.org/Alpha_Lapping_Day_6-26-2009/











3 GT3's!


Karts!






I want a Shifter kart now









Up next, videos!

Nice. I really want to go to one of these, even if I just watch.

 

Is it just me or is Mike's intake louder than his exhaust

i'll post some of my pics of the S-turn i was working shortly

 

it might be!

and nick, it's alfa not alpha.. hehe

 

Nice meeting you guys today. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures. I just got my camera and it's one of those half way between SLR and point and shoot things. It's got two million modes and I was having a real hard time getting it to focus on fast moving items. It was over exposing a ton of the pictures too. I shot MotoGP last year with the previous gen camera and came out with some fantastic results, I'll have to figure out the settings.

Good luck with the install tomorrow (today). You guys probably aren't interested in running 1/4 mile, but I think I will be out at the test and tune on July 8th to clean some of that carbon out of the motor.

One of my friends just finished building a Mk I Scirocco with a 16V turbo motor in it converted to EFI on a Megasquirt, so we're going to go see what that thing will do. Trying to get a MR2 Turbo converted to the later gen JDM turbo to show up too.

Jantzen, perhaps you would like to take some photos?

 

Awesome picture with Dondo's car (I think it's his) rounding the corner with Z3 in front of him.

Nice lean!!!

 

 

Nice! I'm totally jealous. By the time I got there they said they didn't need any more corner workers

 

>_>
God damned Brits. I'll edit the youtube titles but the thread title can't be editted (without a mod).

He eventually caught that Z3 too! The yellow NSX wasn't very fast but the Red one with the Wing that Chris has pics of kept trying to chase down the Ferrari.

 

Any more pics of the Mustang?

 

You can check the gallery I linked to at the top of my post, but I don't remember taking any of it specifically. I assume you mean the awesome one with the crazy body kit and not the normal looking blue one.

 

I think this is the only other one.

Pretty sweet car if you ask me. Small block V8 mounted real far back and real low. He could mount it so low because he was running a dry sump oil system.

edit: This thing was super quiet too. It was weird.

 

That pony looks awesome!

 

Did anyone see what kind of performance the guy in the Ariel Atom was putting down? Also, did anyone run over to see if it was one of the turbo Ecotecs or supercharged Honda K-series?

 

thanks for the share chris. those pics are sweet! treehouse perch ftw!

 

It surprisingly wasn't too fast. Either it's not astronomically fast like we all think it is or it's just really twitchy even when not driven at the limits. By that i mean he looked like it was at the limits of the car but he wasn't moving too much on his competition.

No prob. Hopefully next time i'm driving. Thanks for the heads up on the corner working. Could you forward me that email about the corner working so i can ask for my Alfa bucks? jantzen17@gmail.com
