Let me know if you are coming out.

Is this event ok for novice drivers? Never done this before so I dunno what to expect or even if I should attend this.

 

Sure is, they have HPDE 1 sessions for Novice drivers and great instructors. Come on out. Let me know and we can meet up. Pm me and I can give you some details.

 

Some success. I'm writing up the tire comparison but it will take a bit. The differences were significant and affected my lap times considerably. I wasn't wildly fast for which I would like to make numerous excuses...but I won't. I took 2nd in TTS on Saturday.

Cold cold mornings but a great eveny overall. I'll post video to www.jprautosports.com

 

Hey John,

This is the guy with the black TTB corvette. Great to see you. If anyone wants to get into TT'ing, have a look at John's setup. Very well prep'd and he did a great job on a tough track for his first time there. Traffic was a major issue for the faster cars.

 

John, I don't know if you remember, but we met Saturday. I came around noon time and bs'd with you, Pete, and Thai. I believe I have a few pics of you on track. I'll post them as I sort through what I have. Great looking car btw!

UPDATE: Here are some unedited pics I took

 

Great to see NASA-NE getting more folks into TT

 

Wow! I do remember meeting you, though you are right, I can get very distracted at the track. Thanks for these, this is Great! I really appreciate the pictures.

 

We will bring them in droves...with any luck

 

One of my excuses! Traffic.... I'll take it. I did struggle to get clear track. Thanks though, it was nice to meet you. I'm already looking forward to 2011

 

So john which tires worked better for you? The goodyears or the hankooks?

 

Char, We hope you are getting out there with the rest of the cailifornicators and tearing up some west coast tracks..

 

Pete (I assume) the Evo has been up on jack stands for about two months waiting for my precious Ohlins to be rebuilt Should be back on the road by this weekend.

But in the meantime, look what I got

 

Mike said it was a blast. He couldn't con me into another track day, though.

 

Good question! Working on some data now as it is a little tough to say simply from lap times alone as traffic had a impact. I do like the Hankooks but the Eagle RS was certainly a fast tire. Somewhat looser, a little more like an R6 and possibly less forgiving, but potentially faster. I have to look at some of the turn by turn from the PBox to see for sure.
