TGPR- How often?

How often do you rent TGPR? It was a blast. We have a scheduling conflict for RA, and cant go. But would love to do TGPR next time. And, I have to admit, ya'll are right...I looked at the picture Jesse took of me last night, and all I see is the helmet and grinning teeth! Its great! Lisa

Here's a couple of videos to whet your appetites while you're waiting for the good stuff from Silver8.

I'm pretty sure this is Phlash

Here's a lap with STF

BTW, here is some times from an event there last year. I am not sure where most of your cars would class, but my evo would have been in SM.

OK, they are up at my site now. Thanks Robert for some really good photos. It would not be the same with out them.

I love this image. It's Lego setting up for the dirt track run. The next three images are him utilizing the entire track! They are a little fuzzy but what do you expect from an excited photographer!

I went through some of my video and I can't wait to get something posted up. I have a clip with ALBlueRX8 that I will get hosted temporarily on PutFile. Link to follow.
SilverEight's pictures look terrific. AC8's car has some serious lean as he threw it into those curves. Get some negative camber dialed in there AC8. One of the pics of you going through turn 1 almost looks like you have some positive camber. You looked so fast out there it was cool watching you run.

If you ever wonder why TA is so good. compare these two photos that were taken in two consecutive laps at the same turn. Notice how close he is approaching the 3rd cone and how consistent he is on the approach. TA, you are my hero! YOU RULE! Oh, and that is me riding with him so I got to see it from the seat. Also Robert did a great job catching it in the exact same spot.

it is funny to me, that there is such a difference in my car and phlash's, his seems to have a little less lean. That is a good shot of the car though, it will be added to my collection. Tell your brother thanks for me, for being there taking the pictures.

Swaybars? I know you both have them, but are they the same brand? His could be a touch stiffer.

We both have the same sways, i think he had the shocks set a lot more firm than I did. That might also explain a little why my tires did not fare as well as his. That turn 2 was murder on the tires, but it was worth it.
