the miata is rotary power. so it doesn't count.

why your cable for the splitter so loose?

 

why doesn't it count? Do you know the Miata I'm talking about? Ish was crazy fast. I thought he had a v8 in there the way he walked me on the straight.

Don't worry about why my cables are loose, worry about why your trans hasn't shipped yet!

 

I like your support cable there, Marc.


Autox was a lot of fun yesterday guys, great to see Tim make it out to play with the philly region. Sorry I had to kick all of your butts like that yesterday , curious to see the actual results once posted.

 

EMRA tech is a joke and the biggest reason I won't ever participate in one of their events.

I was at the track on Saturday running in the 4-hour karting enduro on the Avenger circuit (right side track)--we were the only team with five members, everyone else was three or four--though it really didn't hurt us since they mandate four pit stops, with one being a 5-minute stop to top off with gas. I started for us in P2 (random kart/pit stall/starting position draw), took P1 by T1, held it for two laps until I got black flagged because the track supplied transponder wasn't working, so I had to give up the lead to get a new one, returned to the track in P12 (last place), my brother complained to the marshal, and they awarded me two laps back, which put me in P1...for about a lap...then I got my *** handed to me by the eventual race winner (he was turning mid 44s, I was in the low 46s (most every team had a mid-46-47)...at the 50 minute mark I pitted from P2...we held that until the 2:15 mark when we took our 5-minute stop...3-minutes into the stop we noticed our RF tire was de-laminating and got one of the workers to changed it...took 3-minutes, so we lost almost a lap because of that.

Another F1 worker told us the tire we put on was one that had been pulled from another kart earlier because it had a cut in it...great! After 20-minutes, we were told our second transponder was not working, call our driver in and learn that it fell out of the sleeve of his track-supplied suit (the track instructs you to stuff it in your right sleeve--and you have to pass it from driver to driver). We complained that it was not our fault and got most of our laps back, set us back to P3. At 3:15 the tire blew out....we were in P2...we got it changed but it cost us a few laps. Ended the race in P4, one lap down from P3....overall we were pleased with our performance and know that we could have been P2 if it weren't for problems we didn't create.

 

^Cliff note: Wasn't our fault we lost. Boom!

 

if it's the white miata, then yeah, i know that car. he run with emra all the time, and also run with nasa sometime. it's rotary power and crazy fast.

btw, tiebout confirmed with me that his wing is not on backward.

 

That sounded like a hell of a time.


Congrats to Team Shoeberg, AiB and Pete T. would of loved to come take pics and check out RTA/EMRA.



For those that wanted to know the course layout. This is the course walked trace.

 

well my non nutso female neighbor wants to try autox now

she is hooked.

Thanks Chu!

 

Marc was skurd of the X factor...so he told me the wing was on backwards.....RTA has no class for backwords wings !!! Hmmmmm very clever Cantor

 

^ did a little research after the Thai-stick said it was on the right way from the beginning and wouldn't you know- it was correct! Sorry about that, Pete.

 

For Marc...balance out that splitter son!

They sell those on Ebay for $600+shipping. I thought of getting it a while ago and saving 150+% off the real deal. But then I saw the mount plates and thought, do I want to trust the CF base on this wing? I'd prefer aluminum unless it's made by a reputable company.

I'f coming out of pocket rather go with the tall Ciro Design GTC 200 Track Wing @$715


And if Marc keeps winning RTA events, he should be able to get a near free Kognition wing with the credits being built up. 2 first places so far means $400 credit accrued.

 

already sold, brah.

Its only $200 so far and that is the plan as of yesterday.

What is this I hear about you signing up for GTA? You best be in street class with meh so you can show me how to "do it right".

 

I had a lot of fun yesterday. All you guys were pretty darn close all day, within a second and a half, and I was another second or so back. Certainly good competition within the group.

I blame it on not sharing the water. Everyone had water, but me!

But I do need to thank Chu for hooking me up with a good work assignment.

 

^Didn't you finally break into the 53s in the afternoon? Plan out your schedule so you could come to the next few events!

2 gallons of water weren't enough for me and Chau running back to back like that. Good thing Tim had melted ice in his cooler, which helped us out a lot. If we had more time to cool down between the runs, it would have been easier on us and the car. But, that would have made no difference for me trying to get into the 52 sec range though. Pete and Tim was killing it! Chau finally ran respectable times after messing up the mornign sessions.
