I don't that would be right for my application anyways.

The issue I'm having is between the turbo outlet pipe and LICP which is built into the end tank on my old style BR deluxe. If I can't get this sorted, and happy with the outcome, I'll be seeing you at KHC real soon.

there was some stupid **** going on.
At 3:50 I miss shifted again on the straight, I dropped into neutral to coast out of instead of engine braking. That was the other session I mentioned 20 posts back. At that time I shut down and pitted. When I miss shift like that, badly, I'm done for the session.

The rest of that group.

Pete your commentary was awesome, best so far out of all the videos. There was some strange stuff in the video:
I counted 3 or 4 which was helped with your commentary. In my mind either certain people were braking where they should not have been, giving point by at wrong time (or not giving it soon enough), quite a few goofy lines, like the line the car that got totaled was taking. The STI seemed pretty quick too, not going to comment on his driving skillz, but the car seemed to move.

Did you watch this with sound? lol


Thanks for the compliment, btw!
I didn't listen to to it...just watched a small window while doing other stuff...some of us have to work...

I thought you closed up on him pretty rapidly, wasn't sure what was happening. Chris has been doing this a long time and is unlike him to do something that silly, but I know he was having TOB issues and packed it in after two sessions and skipped Sunday (had the clutch/flywheel/tob replaced on Monday)...maybe he Nelson'd the shift?

There really isn't a 'right line' thru that or any section of the track. There are LOTS of wrong lines, but as far as the one single way to enter and exit a turn it all depends on the car, the setup and most importantly the driver.
RIGHT (in my Clarkson voice)

I feel that there is a general concept of how to drive this track, obviously the "line" is car and driver dependent. The S2K driver seemed to be in great control of his car, shook his head immediately when he knew he made a mistake (exiting turn 5 one time and I think exiting 6 where bridge was).
I really wish I would have hooked up with him sooner, would have loved to try and keep up. I think it would have been great to have one of you with me trying to keep up to him too. That would be a way to keep myself in control and drive correctly, not just over driving car to keep up which I can remember doing at Pocono and Beaverrun at times in the past. Granted my car control skillz were not close to what they are now, I am 5-6 years progressed in Autox since then but I sometimes fall into that trap. I also need to train myself not to follow other peeps lines, that is still a work in progress as you guy pointed out previously. Think Thai said that to me 2-3 times to drive my line not car in front.

Chau Nelson'd a shift and game over for him. Carson also Nelson'd a shift once or twice, but it's a honda, it can take it. i'm surprise Carson didn't Nelson'd every shift with the way that shifter was setup in the crx. i wouldn't even drive that crx on the street with the shifter like that.

I thought I let him by at the appropriate time and didn't hold him up. Am I right? Also what did I say that didn't happen... dude was faster in the turns and I pointed him by, exactly how I remembered it then he pitted in. I really wanted to run behind him to see if I could keep up. That never happened the entire weekend except for that time on 2nd day. That may have been 2nd seesion on Sunday.

Also he did the light bulb way better too, I was a ***** going into it, prolly 10-20 mph slower than I should have been. Other laps I felt like I did those sections better, but video doesn't lie.
Wish I could have seen this video and worked on those areas some more, I know I can do better.
Humble man there after the track event... before.. not so much.

My level of ish talking is higher here than anywhere else on the net. I sometimes take it over the top. Only other place I talk major ish is at a local Autox. With that said I try and back up what I say. Also if you remember I said I would be the first to say I did something wrong or I wasn't as fast.

Not my fault I lapped everyone in Blue some people twice a session or that I gave 1 point the entire weekend Prolly could have ran the car on pump 93 with 20 lbs of boost and still be moving right along. Need to work on that after I use up the 45 gallons of E85 I have left. Running short sessions because of mechanical issues skewed my calculation from Saturday afternoon. I used 88 gallons of E85 this weekend.
Actually, Chu how much fuel did you get again, I am confused. I know I started with 78 gallons. I will double check on what came home with me.

Easiest would be to make a custom turbo outlet pipe at that point

You didn't lap everybody in blue. Just the 85% that were clustered all together for every session
