I hear when he is not drinking he's pretty good. Just kidding of course

 

Man oh man! I just glanced at the weather forecast. High of 75, low of 50-55, 0-10% chance of rain. It doesn't get much better than that! I hope it stays that way!

 

Since I can't make it, I'll have to live vicarously through you guys and your vids.

I hope one of you can get close to the attached times that were achieved using rotary power . . .

BTW: The names have been blurred to protect those slower . . .

 

aw come on now, we wanna see some NAMES

 

anyone going to the cookout saturday or will we all go out to eat?

 

And this is FULL COURSE!

:-) neil

 

that is from a professional race.

 

That's why I said, "get close".

Anyone have a guess on the series ?

:-) neil

 

Just RSVP'd for the cookout. Sounds like fun. How about if we go out Friday night?

 

When one of us has a 3 rotor grand am RX8 we'll run very close to those times

 

Well I think I am good to go. Got everything safety checked out, new balance and alignment, fluids changed and topped off and tools packed.

Heading up tomorrow morning. Safe travels to everyone.

Any news on the skid pad?

 

I've given up on the skip pad. Called 4 times spoke w/ the track rental guy and each time he told me he'd call me back after speaking w/ the cycle group so that's a no go which is a shame but hey I tried.

I'll RSVP for the cook out as well.

For Friday night I'll call Hoi (tokyo grill owner) and tell him we'll be coming for dinner.

 

All you need is a normally-aspirated 2-rotor . . .

Yeah, I thought it was the star mazda times.

 

Right before I loaded the car up:


It's super dirty. I'll have to wipe it down once I get to VIR. The new clutch is going to take some getting use to.

I'm hoping to be there when the gates open tomorrow. Hopefully we can all park together in the paddock. My car may or may not be out of the trailer, but here is a picture of my truck and trailer so you guys that don't know it can keep an eye out.


Also, feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll send you my number.

Which day would be better to come hang out, Sat. or Sun. ?

 

^ My guess is Saturday. More action.

 

Had to cancel the trip, car is still not ready- motor is back out of the car.

Hopefully, I'll catch up with you guys at some point this year. Have a great trip!

 

Sorry to hear that pat. I noticed you weren't on the roster.

I am here and hanging out at the hotel. Will be at the track around 6 or 6:30 most likely.

 

You're the winner!

Check out this older 2007 VIR run in the Star Mazda:

Keep the shiny side up!

I will head out tomorrow at 5 and be there by 630 or so

 

Have fun boys and girls, I have a track day at NJMP Lightning on Monday and am finishing up my prep today.... then down to SBG on Sunday to install their Comp BBK before getting on track

 

Everyone is here and having fun. Great weather and plenty of track time. I ran a 2:08 my first session out when I was shaking the rust off of me, making sure the car was solid, on old old tires, lower grade pads, etc, etc. Fritz and I will hit 2:03's this weekend...

 

 

Fritz put on fresh rubber and clicked off a 2:03 this afternoon. Dan/John will have the video with data overlay eventually.

I think everyone had a good time today. 2 more days or good driving.
