Sounds like you just need to adjust it.

The weather was friggen amazing! Not a cloud in the sky either day, it doesn't get any better than that.
Good time talking and hanging out Phil, do you plan on going to the September event as well?

 

I was trying to remember who pshooter was. Phil's a good guy.

 

Nate, tilton carbon/carbon tripple with unsprung discs is what you want. also get a new master and slave cylinder while your at it and might as well do a pedal box while you're in there. DE ain't a game, son!

 

^Push conversion with the Tilton or Carbonetics would be spectacular!

 

500. I got less than 400, but only got there for the end of the day on Friday.

Friday & most of Saturday I thought errthing went smooth. I didn't see any really bad passing going on, but I did see a lot of trains in the A-solo group when I went in there a few times on Saturday. Don't know if it was instructors or A-solo guys causing them.

I don't know what the A-solo guys (or their mentors) were *****ing about. If someone give you a point on the wrong side or you don't want it then just wave it off. no big deal. There isn't a gun to you head making to take the pass. I don't care where I pass as long as I'm comfortable with it. I was givin off-line point-bys where the guy would drag race me to the outside of the corner, but he still let me in eventually. Its all part of the sport, IMO.

Some clubs or private track event I've run with don't even require a point by and you can pass anywhere you want on track. it not a big deal.

 

Doesn't take long for someone to auto tune something.

 

The only time I've complained is the PCA event Dan and I ran back in April, where a guy in a cup-car was taking some really bad passes in white group, and could have potentially caused some bad accidents if the other drivers weren't paying attentions. One of the white group students chased him down after our afternoon session, and *****ed him out.

 

It wasn't the drivers in ASolo as much as the mentors, they really weren't happy. I didn't have an issue with it, I like running with you guys, or shall I say trying to keep up with.
Also, I think the ITS guys were out with us almost all of the shessions and most of the time they were the ones holding everyone up. I heard only 2 people got signed off in ITS on Saturday, they weren't happy with their performances either.

 

Yeah, its always good to have someone else riding with you to give some feedback. I had chris rid with me and realize my heel/toe wasnt as smooth on street tires because i cant brake as hard without locking up. But i didnt compensate for that going from rcomp. I didnt feel it because i was driving, it takes a pasenger to notice to subtle things like that. I tried to work on that and some other new thing that chris mentioned on sunday.

500 track miles is mad fuel. Open track friday and 6 shession each day is nuts for solo group. They got the best bang for buck.

Bill mentioned at the instructor meeting friday evening that there were some iffy driving on track during friday open track by solo and instructors.

 

it may very well have been the ITS program causing the problems i saw... I remember last year when they did the ITS school people were doing all kinds of crazy things on track. I came in and was like WTF was going on out there, then someone said it was the ITS training.

 

I got slightly over 300miles on track I'd say. My total round trip was just shy of 900miles for the weekend, figure roughly 500 up and back, plus driving to and from the track.

6 shessions a day was the shizz, love that they gave A-Solo so much track time.

 

^ eff chu and your mad track time. Instructors got hosed for track time on sunday

 

That was the club racer guy that was camped out next to me at Tbolt. He was pointing me by pretty much every session at Tbolt and kept saying he was getting used to his new car. I guess he got used to it at lightning He was a nice guy but I don't know what he was thinking at Lightning when he dove to the inside and tried passing me in the Lightbulb at a DE event.

 

^^^^^

DE ain't a game fool!

 

That guy was just a jerk Carson. I know some students complained that he passed without point-by. However, some of the passes I saw, one on me included, was very dangerous.
