Don--glad to hear you will be back on the track! Knew you would! And it shouldnt be a problem going to de2. i did it in the middle of an event once--just to run with the guys.Much more fun and that is what i am after.
Dang i cant remember my password to Nasa and they havent responded to my request yet--hope it doesnt fill up.
OD

 

Can't wait to see you guys.

 

I need to follow someone for the first few laps.

 

SouthFL -
Find us in the paddocks and set up with us. If you are in DE3 you will have plenty of company to play lead-follow with.
Heck, if they combine DE3 and 4 and the Roar guys show up, there could be 7 or 8 Rx8's out there at once.
L8, OD, OnRails, SouthFL, TA, Rob, Phlash, - will have to see what Kurtbob is driving, and Lego and Don C should be in the 7's. And have to see where Silver ends up.
That my friends is a beautiful thought! A track FULL of mazda's...

 

^
Thank you sir.

 

 

I think I just wet myself a little bit.

 

The more the merrier!
PM me as it gets closer and will give you my cell and an idea of our setup location.

OD, what's the status of your rebuild?

 

OD, this may give you some ides http://videos.streetfire.net/search/...1c735f4d84.htm

 

1:25 is hoppin around RR pretty good in an 8 if I recall!
OD, I was at Charlies when you called Thurs afternoon. Hope all is going well on the build.

SouthFL - this is a good vid to get an idea of a line. TA driving but probably a little backed off with a passenger. Believe that is SilverEight riding shotgun.
*edit* - Yep, that is Silver - vid is from my first track weekend. I am such a n00b!
Clicky!


GMM FTW!

 

Jesus STF--one sick car.
yep if RB had not screwed my clutch kit up i would be up and running this w/e. had to reorder--this time through Charlie--like i should had to begin with.
Yes 1:25 is a pretty good clip at RR but please notice i said ABOVE a 1:25! I have done a 1:25 before and do plan on dialing back some.
my new engine should be great and all should be well and better than ever--thanks for asking --while I was on the phone they said they couldnt talk long because they had an important customer there!
thing about RR is that are different ways of driving that track in the 8--all fun.

i've done a 1:21 at RR with 125cc and 2 wheels on the old pavement, it seems like cars should be going a lot faster than that. What do the 8s in HPDE4 do?

 

My Evo went a 1:19 on RA1's. I have gone 1:17's in a buddy's vette, again track prep. That was on the old pavement as well. On street tires in a bone stock Evo, I have gone a 1:26, again on old pavement. Subtract 3s for times today, at least I think that is what I have heard. I will know in a few weeks. Taking my new track toy down.

 

The TT track record w/NASA at RR for a basically stock 8 - which is TTD - is 1:24:21

The TTC record in an M3 is actually slower.
The 911's in the faster classes break 1:20.

 

TA, check this out......

That is a nice car for the price.
Beautiful.

 

That was me. I know there is more speed to be found there. I was on RA1s. Rob Whitener in his TTC prepared RX8 (running Hoosiers + a 512 gear) ran a 1:22. Jon Krolowicz who drove the AMS Evo time attack car got into Robs car and got a 1:23 so that is proof. Jon runs the Seat Time performance driving school out of Roebling so he has more laps around thast track than most mortals.

At any rate, I would love to learn some speed tricks from you guys in May. I found the edge of my ability there last fall and need to learn new things to go faster.

STF - you making it to CMP in April you slouch *** former track ho?

 

Going to try, you know my calendar. If I can, definitely ring me about rooming.

Dave

 

The time, i think, is there coming on to the front straight(turn 9?), braking in turn 1, and the carousel?
olddragger

 

Thanks for the vids everyone, as well as the offers of guidance.

 

a big part of roebling is getting a drive out of turn 9 and carrying a lot of speed through that first section and that really fast left hand sweeping thing (3 or 4), assuming it's the same with cars...

 

Bump - so Olddragger can find it
