Registration is open for the BSCC novice school on the 30th. I'll probably be there but at the other end of the track at the SCCA event.

So I'll be at Bremerton Monday for sure and probably Sunday as well. Brad said he'd be going Monday as well. With the closure of the taxiway, Bremerton is now completely safe, the worst you could do is get a cone mark or two.

If you're nervous, don't be!

Didn't you go four off on the runway? haha

I've seen cars go off on the left side of the runway and lose their bumpers.

I went all 4 off on a course that was technically illegal, too fast I also watched an Elise go all 4 off and do nothing to their bodywork. Theirs is pretty fragile, so it seems like damaging the car by going off the runway is a tough thing to do.

Might be tough but not impossible.

It was an STI that lost his bumper towards the crossover on the left side.

Crazy, I wonder if he hit one of thos little offshoots over there? I was going at least 40mph when I left the runway on the taxiway side and came out fine...

Yea you went into a nice smooth spot, the left has a few dips right off the pavement. Remember the BSCC event were I had a huge problem with the track being unsafe? On the left there was a C box next to a grate? There's a lot of places like that on the left. Just something to be aware of.

Might be time for some A6's... and you should come to the National Tour in a few weeks.

Man, I'm getting so out of practice... oh ****, in 20min it's going to be June and I still haven't made a June thread!

Unless he shows up to an SCCA event

Seriously though, let's do the pro-solo on the 26th! Should be really interesting, especially if you find someone willing to lend you some A6's

Be pretty sweet to snag a set of slicks and see what I could do. I havent messed with any damping settings nor tire pressure yet. Just trying to get to a point where I cap out. Than ill move into messing with 1 type of adjustment.

Zack's suggestion re: tire pressure was to set them all to the same pressure then leave it alone for consistency.
