How fast do they go around that corner?

 

I was in the RX-8 that he was racing against - he is a very good driver and I had a lot of fun racing against him. Even on Sunday in dry conditions I saw him in my rear view mirror plenty. I did notice he has tons of camber on the rear wheels - probably because of the body roll.

Adam, it looked like your wheel was lifting also but you couldn't tell unless you were looking really closely. I got a lot of shots of you in T6.

 

I had a good time despite the tornados and rain on Saturday. This was my second event driving in the rain. The first was at Rockingham with TA as my instructor. The instruction he gave me back then helped me get through Saturday at RA with some confidence.

I decided to run my street tires in the rain since they are pretty new and have excellent wet traction on the street. The new construction in turn 12 made for some interesting water hazards. It also took away some of the visual cues I had remembered from last time. Best lap in the wet-but-not-raining session was a 2:02+.

Sunday was much better. Things were dry enough to go full speed. I didn’t get many perfectly clean laps. The fist session on Sunday was a huge traffic jam. 2:07 was my best time in the first session. The last two sessions were much faster. Most of my laps in those sessions were in the 1:49+ – 1:50+ range. I did manage to do a 1:47+ on my last lap!

Looks like TA's track record in TTD is safe:

What lap timers do ya'll use?? I think I'm actually going to start TTs at Barbers this year, since I'm more comfortable there than anywhere, but I'd still like a decent lap timer for other groups I may run with.

 

L8 give me your address again and i will ship it to ya.

OK. You took 3000 pictures ... and none of KurtBob? Maybe it was because the car was so dirty? or was I going too fast to capture on film? Yeah, that must have been it!

 

Sorry Kurt, I'll see if I can dig one up for ya.
