Thunderhill - NorCal Shelby Spring event

[glassman]

I saw that with t9 too, his right tires are half way off the asphalt...effin close.

When i watched that, the one thing i could think of was the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, which may differ from what we've been taught, hence knowing what the machine and its operator are capable of.

I'm hooked.

For those that haven't run Thunderhill but want to.... here's a turn by turn 2:03 lap in a "spec Mustang".

Great lines pedal references for most of the cars here.

Hey Glassman,

I've got a pic with that NASCAR thing behind me, too...

It was one of Gregs friends son-in-law's driving it and he did a pretty good job wheeling it around the track. I bought that pic from gotbluemilk.com since it was my "virgin" voyage i got two pics from the weekend. Next is the cage.

It's a great pic, Glassman--I'd put that one on a wall, for sure. I just got my CD from gotbluemilk.com yesterday--lots of great pics (and showcasing of my dents). My wife took the one I just posted (entering the pits), which was her clearest . . . and you're in it. Go figure...

Impressive........until he went to the left of the apex marker in T12.

Flak - No
Credit - Yes

1) Right of the cone shortens the distance.
2) Improves drive on to the back straight.
3) The surface is smoother there so obviously it's the fast line.



How you got there is another discussion.

It was Sutton's fault, I swear!
