or maybe he's bored with the lack of competition in BS and he is coming over to play with the big boys (big boys tend to be slower, cause we carry more weight...but people tend to be scared of us though)

Afterall, he has won two national championships in a row...time to move up divisions...and make a 3-peat that much more impressive.

Yes it was boring.... I replaced the two spark plugs that the dealer did not do during the recall and installed a set of Mazda comp plug wires.

I know Jason better than that... he's gonna suck up as many BS champs as he can get. He's too cheap and likes winning too much to move to another class.

I think it would be fun to run BSP or SM but I am not interested in a having a trailer queen or spending all that money. If it was in the budget I would switch to an SS Porsche tomorrow, but I guess I will have to live with BS for now.

btw I am going to run BS at both event this weekend, AM run groups, so I dont have to spend all day out there.

See ya

I was thinking SS Elise. Probably not for a couple years though... maybe by that time I could give you some real competition.

Went down to SD this morning...to race with the Jason's. I just felt horrible about my times last month in Fontana, I was hoping to find my groove. Had some trouble with my car after going through tech....the guy was really thorough and tuugged on the battery tie down a couple times...and dislodged my grounding kit....car wouldn't start.

Ulllose helped fix that, and we also tightened up the squeaky belt....but I still was having problems with the car holding an idle. I was first run group, so I figured I would just go over to grid, and try to keep the car running the entire time...hopefully the idle would stay.

Sat for about 7 minutes and idle held on its own, and was stablized. Still think I should just scrap the grounding kit.....it has just been causing me too much grief.

I rant he fastest time in the 1st run group...and it even held through the second run group. I was feeling really good about the times....but then the Jason's ran in the third heat. Jason I beat my time by 3 tenths..and Jason M was behind me by less than 1 tenth....close runs today...it is nice to see that we all are running well.

I found my groove

Raw Times:
60.558
58.358
57.466

In using the Index conversion:
SM-raw time
BSP-.99
BS-.975
STU-.965
BSST-.94

My Fastest Time wo9uuld be 57.466 x 0.99 = 56.891

57.134 = 55.706

This means that you would be (55.706/55.706) x 100 = 100.000
I would be (55.706/56.891) x 100 = 97.917

Yeah, it was fun to watch that red beast....didn't sound very good though...the 8 is much more aggressive.

That was a fun course today, I sure wish all of my runs would have been in the dry.

74.748 100% damp course
71.824 75% damp, a few dry turns
71.161 50% damp, uphill turns were dry while most of the down hill turns and the start was still wet.

68.936 "instructor" run after lunch on a dry course in KW's car with Sno in the passengers seat. Big tires have lots of grip.

Looks like your BS index time (69.381) (wet of course) loses to your BSP index time(68.246) by 1.135 seconds. Looks like the grip, as well as 3-lap knowledge of the track really does make a difference. Prep and Experience=good time.

My three times for the day were:
71.649 Index time-70.932
71.155 Index time-70.443
70.341 Index time-69.637

Erica is working on posting some of the pics from today...

Just looked at the Index/car class adjustment times....using the 2007 Cup rules...Ulllose would have pulled out the victory today by 3 tenths....but, since this is the 2006 Cup Rules thread...I WIN

ahhh, that is sweet.....look at Mischelle's first pic (file name:Mischelle 2)...the cone she hit is actually on it's side, ready to flop over...cool.

EDIT: "Keith3" is not me....it is Erica.

84.746 + stunt demo
73.233 +2
71.724

I was just showing the n00bs how to properly execute the "2 feet in" procedure for my first run. Notice how I parked it parallel with the cones. Congrats to Keith for picking up the 20pts for the first time and taking 2nd in the cup. I'm pretty "butt hurt" about losing my position to the conditions, but oh well.

It is me or did the pics I take come out blurry? I had no skillz with the auto-focus.

I guess it just makes everything even now....with the 20 points you got in my car last event

Casey ran well today as well....everything had to finish like it did today for me to squeek away with a one point win for 2nd.....I'm rather amzed at how things unraveled today...the weather was a factor that played a critical role in it all.

On to next year. I'll let you have 808, if that is any concellation prize?

Congrats to the champion....hope to see that static cling on your ride at each event during the 2007 cup season.
