Not the case in 2014 :sieg:

Not enough wing?

Or talent? LOL

My second ever track day weekend was with NASA...and I agree. The debrief is perhaps the most important part. Knowing you'll have to face and own up to your actions on track immediately after makes for a much better session overall.

I was passed up to run group 3 right when I ran out of tires but have never had the chance to run with them again. Hope to rectify that soon...

Right on Lance! The debrief was awesome.... and there's no way you wanted to be "that guy". I can tell you - I did not feel bad for the triple spinner (spun right in front of me on the first lap!).... That guy couldn't even run the right track layout! Was happy to see him booted.

Will you be in Scottsdale by January??? That's my next trip down for my Mayo roto rooter.

Yeah, we'll be there then. Moving around the first of Nov. Hopefully we'll have some walls up by then to show you... :D

Not everyone is qualified to pilot an Orange car. :relax:

Jeez, I was there that day. Wasn't this in the wall in like the first five minutes of the first session?

Take time, Grasshopper--the non-race is not non-won in the first laps on a wet track . . .

Yep, early morning for sure!

It's really just a driver talent issue...... they remind everyone at the drivers meetings about "cold track" - "cold tires" - "cold you". About warming up the car - warming up the driver.... getting back in the saddle so to speak. There's no excuses for this kind of driving on a track day.

In the NASA drivers meeting -- Group 4 that Rob and I drove in -- they tell you straight up -- "you spin in this first session -- you're sitting out the next session". That's a warning to TAKE IT EASY and get in to the day without being "that guy".

When I went to Texas World Speedway it rained all night
so at the Drivers meeting they said go easy as it was wet in places
and if you go off track it will be an effort to get you out

First session was the instructors and 3 minutes in one of them
buried his car deep in the mud. Then next session our local
Pantera guy runs out of gas on the high bank. What a way to start out

Bob

I'm confused. That '70 laid down some solid lap times. From what I gather there were some over heating, and oil leak issues but what's wrong with the body?

She was still climbing at 7000 rpm. Why'd ya stop the pull? :poke:

cuz he's yeller

Last time I checked -- there's no trophies being handed out, or checks cu,t or sponsorship deals being offered --

Who gives a damn about another 3 or 400 rpm.... Car is already faster than all the other stuff on track with me.

Huh...Definitely a rush job...

Gregg,


With respect to you and all others involved in the most recent debacle (myself included...8 mos for springs?),

Let's try to put this past weeks diversion behind us and get back to joking and talking cars.

A while back after wildwood's master cylinder recall, I believe you ended up putting in a 1" master with bp20 pads and you had liked it. Which did you stick with on the car and which do you prefer? Have you noticed any more wear on the rotors with the bp20 vs bp10 with .8750master cylinder? I have a 1" on the car now with bp10's and also have a .875 on the shelf. I haven't run the car yet (will be next year at the soonest) and was wondering if I should change it first or try the 1". I do have the same aero 6p front and 4p superlites on the rear as your car.

BP40's definitely show rotor wear on the Spec 37's but rotors and pads are a wear item especially when road racing.
I can't speak for Greg as I know the '65 was lighter than my car in addition to the difference in pad compound

I like the car MUCH better with the way firmer pedal the 1" MC gives.... and while I liked modulating the small diameter MC - the 1" is the right one for this car/brake combo.

I've been thru a couple sets of pads -- no wear showing on the Spec 37 rotors. Car brakes exceptionally well - and has no added cost over initial so I'm happy with that. Sutton does a lot of stuff right and OY is done right and was all him.... so I have to give credit where credit is due.

Hmmm Debatable :popcorn2:

Makes for a great sales pitch ��

maybe I missed it? But what MPH are you all doing on these tracks?

I'd probably **** myself...

Joe --- Old Yeller with it's 511 RWHP and 4 speed is hitting right at 125/130 down the front straight at Thunderhill..... and I slow to about 85 ish on Turn 1 corner entry -- and exit at maybe 95/100ish....


The NEW Yellow POS Dirty Misled Missile with 700+ HP and big aero -- would be hitting about 160 on the same straight --- and I would "expect" to see mid to high 90's on corner entry and probably 100+ on exit easily...

Those are really solid power numbers, Greg. Has a nice, fat torque curve too. Enjoy the drive :thumbsup:
