This is a good thing....you'll have more money for my Dick's!

 

i'm out too.

my mom's bday is this weekend and sat is the only day we can get together before she leaves for a month. plus i have some pt sway related clunking i need to fix somehow..

 

WTF everyone is backing out. Damn all of you

 

Ah well... I'm still going I'll take video and make you guys jealous

 

You don't need money for my Dick's. I have something on the back burner I been wanting to do.

Call me tonight after 7.

 

 

Well, Matt and I are going to meet at the Southcenter Barnes and Noble parking lot at 6am or so on Saturday to head down to packwood. We might be able to meet at a more sensible hour on Sunday, we'll see.

Edit: Looking through old emails, seems like 6am used to get me there on the late side of on time from Kirkland...

 

Day 1 complete! I'll post pictures and video in a bit. George had suspension problems but reportedly he'll be there tomorrow, so it was just Mike and I holding down the fort against a sea of AWD...

We were both 60ft'ing a little over 3 seconds (3.1-3.2), Karl was 60ft'ing in 2.2x seconds in his WRX while Eric 60ft'ed in 1.9 seconds in his GTR. Rain sucks

 

So Pro Solo's are really interesting. If the two sides of the course were each 45+ seconds, it would be WAY better than a normal autocross. However, because they're around 30 seconds, it's fun but a regular autocross is better.

This was my first time at a Pro Solo or doing a drag start in general. As such, I'm not embarrassed to say that yes, my reaction times sucked, generally around 1.1 seconds compared to Arrrrx-8's 550-600ms

No i got a bit tipsy Friday night. TO be honest i woke up at 1:30 Saturday. Sorry Nick for bein flacky.

 

just saw nick on 405. haha

 

Yah, that was wild! I saw your wing in between a couple cars as you merged on and went "I know that wing..." Pulled forward, saw the MS rear bumper and I'm like "Ha! IT IS Mike!"

 

hehe yeah man. good times.

 

I tried sticking my camera to the windshield since it was dry. I wish I'd remembered how much faster my car is when it's dry...

Looked like a really fun and fast course

 

Yah! Sunday's course was awesome. 75 seconds long for me, lots of interesting camber and several points where I was into the shift beep in 2nd. By the way, it's a lot harder to hear the shift beep with the new exhaust at full throttle .

 

I don't know if I hear the beep in second, maybe I'm not paying attention, I definately don't hear it in third.

 

I always used to notice it

 

thats cause you were a stocker. i dont think i have a shift beep anymore.

 

We moved mine with the AP from 8500rpm to 9000rpm. Maybe yours is just moved too?

 

yeah mine's 9500 now i think..
