That's normal. It's in open loop mode during light throttle, idle and cruise so the ECU is constantly adjusting AFR's.

Thanks guys..

Pete, that sucks, on your hands too, thats a weird spot to get it. I have 100 sun block and always forget to use it. I look like I have tropical genetics but I am actually Polish and German. The polish side of me is tan, so I guess there were beaches in Poland?

Anywho, I certainly enjoyed today.

some pictures of the hard parking fest prior to doing our runs:

 

Nice meeting (meating?) you today... Although I'm a little frightened you now know what I look like in your fantasies....

 

 

Mike, ****ing hardparker!!

 

kidda of a crappy day at Summit Point. rain pretty hard in the morning. had a hard time finding space in the paddock from the busy weekend of Hyperfest. good thing i meet up with Ryan and he was able to find me a space. first session was steady rain, so i left the street tires on for some warm up laps. the car was all over the place. second session, the track tried out and i put the R6 on. went out and realized i forgot to readjust the shocks and it was still set on full soft all the way around, the car was rolling like it was on stock suspensions with Rcomp. i decided just to stay out. after a couple of warm up laps, i put in 3 hot laps in traffic and started to get really bad shakes in the steering wheel. i thought it was brake shutter at first but it keep getting worse very quickly. so i pit thinking it might be a loose wheels. went around to check all the wheels an notice the front passenger tire was flat, fml. i took the wheel off and take it over to phills tires to see if he could patch it. he said they don't patch race tires, and they didn't have any tires my size there. sucks because the tire only had one 15min session before this. so my day was done after only getting 3 hot semi hot laps in. i was sitting in second place in class and 6th over all even with just 3 hotlaps after the first session.

thanks Ryan for helping out with the car. get your car together and get out to track soon.

I like that picture too!! Dude, AWESOME pictures, you really caught the day. Thanks for all the shots, I really appreciate it. Sorry we did not talk, next event I will say Hi.


I have some great video of today besides actual Autox... I am uploading to Youtube now and will post shortly. My teasers:
1st video has a Mini Philadelphia Tornado in the very beginning, you can see an EZ Up get mangled in the video and some various objects fly away, shadow goes over my car. In Philly we RUN till the cones fall over MF'aaaah.
2nd video is my rerun after the 3rd hour of the forever heat. I am half way thru when I get red flagged because some peeps decide to walk the course while cars are flying around. The thought process is oh there are cars flying thru here, lets walk right in the path of one so we can get hit and die?
Anyhow that is not the funny part, but I think you may hear me cursing as I drove thru course. The funny part is when I get out of my car to adjust air pressures and cool it down, Steven starts giving me a hard time. Listen to my response, I found it f'in hilarious personally.

Posting shortly..

 

EZ Up trashing at 20 second mark look in the distance, also to note the downed cones I blew by because I did not want to extend the already ridiculously long 3rd heat.

This maybe my favorite video, I get red flagged and I am not very happy about it. I scream my displeasure at the people who caused the red flag as I drove bye them. Turn it up after red flag, obviously the wind noise is horrible so you have to work around it to enjoy my commentary.
Then for the big finish Steven and I have a verbal exchange, listen in. all I have to say is REALLY?? I love Steven, he's my boy and I am just foolin....

Lol, nice commentary!

 

Speaking of cooling down... I just about burned my hand trying to get the hood up. Thanks to Chu for cooling down my car that really helped!

 

I have a nice blister on my forearm after sizzling (literally) my skin on the rotor when changing out my tires after the event. Three back to back runs puts some heat in the brakes, and I was in a hurry to get out of there. Reached in to adjust my toe to street setting and I heard a nice sssssss noise.

 

sounds like I missed a hot one. congrats Mike on the top pax finish and Aaron for taking SM.

happy monday bishes

 

hope you bishes are enjoying your monday morning. wheres the normal wake up call from grillo?

you guys missed a great event at hyperfest. kinda hot, but super fun and some nice looking cars. though it seemed like all the top guys were having issues with their cars. cant wait for next year....

 

I will say, I did have a good time yesterday, but it was perhaps the longest heat that ever was. Effing red flags!

Good morning Ryan, pretty sure I'll be in early all weak if you want to have a "who gets into the office earlier" contest?


Also, I blame my reaction to the sun on the antibiotics I'm taking... It says right on the bottle to be careful of sun exposure. Probably didn't help I was in the sun for 3 of the last 4 days.
