Yep. Sorry for the pix post delay. I could lie and say I've been extremely busy or I could tell the truth and say I'm a bit lazy when it comes to documentation.

RSD, its true we do have a great group and sometimes I forget how good we have it. Thanks for reminding me as I sometimes do not acknowledge the members that put in lotsa effort to make our club a success.

 

yes! yes! yes! road trip!!!

And for your efforts, we will offer you, um ,er, hats? (no), tshirts? (no), hmmmmm

how bout great cheese and chicago pizza?!?!?!?

 

did someone say pizza...

 

awesome new avatar, l8!!!

 

Got to give them and the car props. Drive that far (how many miles 1 way?) do a track event, and drive back...that's what I call reliable.

Do they have fried chicken pizza?
olddragger

 

yeah, i change it almost as often as you.

 

Well, it was just over 2k miles for me, including my on track miles

 

not that i know of ...

a true Chicago-style pizza is deep dish. Take a bottom crust, put toppings in, top with cheese then sauce on top. Bake til golden yummy. It's about 1"-1.5" thick when you eat it. Lou Malnatis is my favorite and I will bring some pies to the track if all ya'll do the roadtrip!!!

now I'm hungry!

 

ADD works well for me

 

Dammit, Reds! I've still got an hour until I can eat!

yep, me and the ADD monster are on a first name basis.


But, I finally have some video up.


L8APEX-Session 4
(right click save as)

It is a little large, but it is also 20 minutes of pure track. Enjoy. I know I enjoyed making the video.

And on another note, I have a new found respect for Silver, and all the work that goes into his website. Now that I am setting up my own, I am learning what it takes, and let me just say, DAMN. I will update the site again tomorrow with Session 6, and some sessions from last August. The difference is amazing to me.

 

Any 3rd gens in the vidoes? Downloading now.

L8, that white Mustang was scary! On the right hand side of the front straight and pointing you by to the right!

 

hey tim, i wish. IIRC you passed me during session 5. That was the session where i started out following silver, but that is also the one session i was not taping. Due to the tight classroom schedule that bookended that session, i did not get time to put in a new tape. Which sucks.

and yeah, that old school mustang was irritating. he was not there on saturday, and just showed up for sunday. what you could not see whn he was pointing me by on the left, was his instructor about to rip the guys head off. we could almost hear him yelling at the driver when we went by.

 

Ok, one more for those who want to take the time to download it. A full session, minus the warm up lap, and pointless conversation on grid. This was by far my best session, despite traffic, and I was faster on the couple of clean laps, than I have ever been there. So it felt like a good wrap up to the weekend.

Enjoy.

L8APEX-Session-6

 

Downloaded both. It's always good to see what lines people are taking, what your instructor was saying you should take, etc. Good stuff, makes you want to go back out again.

Tim

 

L8, Did that yellow Porsche blow its engine? Dang lot of smoke and I couldn't tell if it was him or not.

 

im not sure what happened to the yellow porsche. ealry in that session, he passed a couple cars between 5 and 6, and when he floored it, a puff of smoke came out. he did not drop any fluid, when it first happened i slowed up, looking for fluids on the track. all that did was let everyone ge away from me. i think he had engine trouble, it smelled a little like oil as it got worse.

and tim, it is fun to watch the different lines, even during the video in traffic. people were all over the place, it was funny. a lot of people did not have the stomach to go down in the dip for turn 12.

 

I got a pic of Super taking a pic of me.

 

yeah, I saw him back there, and then I realized that I am looking around the track more while driving, because he moved from that flag stand at the top of 5, to right at the bottom of the hill at the end of 5, and I noticed, that I did not have the tunnel vision while on track that I had last year. Just some of my observations....ignore me, it is still early.

 

ok I'm officially scaling down the photos and posting them TODAY.

I think I've procrastinated long enough eh?

 

yeah, come on, chop chop. we need to see more pics. helps with the track addiction.

 

If I was smart, I'd hold them ransom til ya'll came up to Road America

 

now, is that anyway to treat a bunch of addicts. we all know you aren't that mean either.
