In all fairness to Nelson, I just don't know how you guys do so many events. With a child now, I have all my usual social things I'd like to do plus child stuff, and not enough time during the week to do it.

Nelson has property to manage, and I can't imagine adding that to my list of responsibilities right now. It might be in my near future, since my current home value dropped a solid $40k and I am not losing all that money I put down on the house, so most likely I will be renting it to keep my equity into it.


Love,

James

The others have kids too but I agree it's hard to find time with family/personal life and when you're building a car the way you want. Time and money are not on your side especially when you're trying to do competition events thru it all and fixing things that may break along the way.

James, Your classing might be NASA TTSorTTU and RTA Modified if you running a different turbo then stock and TT2 if your hp to weight is too high and rubber is too thick.

Thanks for the loving support,
Nelson

Grown man ish

Plus I spent the allotted mod/race money I give myself on this weekend and next weekend doublecross events, Kosei track wheels, APR wing, Evo tow hitch sent out to be PC'd, and have to get tires mounted now. And of course I have to make a Shoe Motorsports splitter to balance out the wing. I may not hit the track for the rest of the year for any comp stuff.

decent day today at summit point Jefferson circuit. first time on the circuit since i did their instructor clinic three years ago. its a nice short track, like a autox course but with two long straights, and some elevation change. the track is very hard on brakes, my brembo are now officially blackbo after one session, on street tires. my fastest lap was 58.6 on NT05 tires. turbo is holding up good. the smoke issue is fixed. doing nasa TT at summit main tomorrow and sunday

my first session. the passenger knocked the wide angle lens off the camera, so the video is a little zoomed in. i had faster time the second session but forgot to switch out the battery and it died.

That basically is an autox course with less turns. Put a couple slaloms down the straights

At least a Chicago box or two..



For you guys going to WGI next month, my room is booked. If you plan on staying at the budget inn, drop my name and they'll try to put our group side-by-side.

Had a close call this morning. Students evo 9 brake pedal went to the floor entering the last turn at summit main. Didn't have time to pump, he held it to the floor and was able to slow the car down enough to make the turn and didn't go off. I almost made him go straight to the tire wall instead of hitting the sand trap sideways.
