I want this setup.

This describes my car on v710's perfectly. The rear end seems to come around on street tires though. I guess that I could tighten the konis on the front a little.

I had an autox today, the car is soooo good on race rubber right now, I'm almost scared to mess with it.

 

I'm registered to work!

WooHoo!! I'm back! Disney can not be done in five days...........

Yes I am in HPDE2

 

No, but it can drain your bank account in two!

.

 

Good God, that's the truth.......Disney is a money machine.......

 

Me and my wife are coming down for this event. I promised her a weekend in Savannah, at least she shops, and I track. Either way, my wife will be with me some.

 

Sweet! Can't wait to meet the Mrs. STF.......My DW may be doing the RA event alter this year with us......(just don't make the mistake of sitting down to poker with her......trust me....she could get away with playing for pinks)

 

WooHoo!! We're a sticky now!!

I hear rumor that Steve is not coming to this event....Is that true? I requested him as an instructor........gotta work on the "butta" thingy STF always speaks of......

 

Well our situation has changed. Dr's now ordering chemo for the wife. I will not confuse you with the details. Prognosis is good. They all agree on that. 2nd opinon confirmed the need. So we will start it soon. Damn.
I still may be able to make this event(Dr's say it may be good for my wife to go to Savannah--with friends etc) but we will have to just wait and see. Keep you fingers crossed for us and we dont get to come I will be doing a self made highspeed autocross one man event in the dr's parking lot.

sorry to hear that OD......bring her along, we'd love to meet the Mrs. OD as well.....our prayers are with you guys....

 

Well, looks like I will have to put my LiveStrong bracelet back on. I'm having lunch today with a very good friend of mine that finished 4 chemo sessions, post op and has been signed off on a clean bill of health! Today's medicines and treatmens are amazing and I'm confident, as with Jim, that all will be well. Good luck in the treetments and keep us posted.

 

OD - we are with you brother!

 

Off Subject a little.....

for those of you going to wrok Sam's Gap.....from Jim P....

the County Commissioners of Unicoi County cancelled Sam's Gap and Rock Creek hillclimb in 2006.

Bastards........

 

so both hill climbs are out. ahh crap, how am i supposed to work for track if the only events i can't drive in get cancelled. i oughta make that county pay for Road Atlanta in August.

 

Snowshoe is a hill climb........

I'm sure Jim and company will come up with something....

 

I'm with L8 on this one. I was scheduled to work. Where is Snowshoe?

 

Wife start Chemo next week and i will have a sexy baldheaded women for a wife in a few weeks after that! Things are shaping up so far, that if they continue, then I will be able to make this event. Of course you never know but I am hopeful. Roebling is so much dang fun.
Ya'll ever hear that country song about a fella diag with a terminal disease and how he starts living afterward? Riding bulls and skydiving etc? Point is all of this that is happening to us reminds us to live the day to the fullest (unfortunaly responsibilites continue) as possible. So instead saying it doesnt look like I can make it, I am saying it looks like I can unless something bad happens. My wife, God Bless her, says the same. Can't let yall have all the fun!
I wonder if the instructor i had at RA this pat time will be there? Anyway to find out?

My continued prayers for your wife and you.

Contact Julie Pantas to see if she can locate your instructor.

 

OD - best wishes for the Mrs and her treatment. Indeed you give sage advice. It is important to enjoy life to the fullest (while still being responsible). I was talking to my wife last night and she is so thrilled that I am finally doing things that I enjoy rather than what I think other people want me to do.

BTW - I never request an instructor. I like the luck of the draw. It also allows you to get feedback from multiple people and learn something form everyone. Just my opinion of course.

 

Why do you need an instructor TA?

 

I don't in HPDE3. I was saying I had never asked for a specific one while in HPDE1 or 2.

 

I know, I was poking..... I would think for the class you would be in, 1:29's would be a competitive time at Roebling. I was 1:25's in the Evo, but hope for 1:19s this time.

 

Phlash had me timed at Roebling last time. I don't remember my times but I think I was around 1:30.

 

Ok, I looked through some notes, and I found that I was clocked at 1:28's in Lego's car, on streets.....so, I would say, you may want to cut another 2 seconds off, with R's.

 

Yeah well I only have 1 day there. Give me some time. I think I can get my times down to where they should be but I don't expect to be able to drive as fast as you do. My shitometer needs calibration.
