If I were closer, I'd come over and shove you off the fence(gently)

 

I will be at the track friday after about 8pm to drop off the car and unload the truck. Pictures of the car are at my website. It is a white second gen with and AWR body #47. We are running the enduro only so stop by the paddock area.

 

thanks Carl, (I think )

Jsut got bad news today... Tom at 7's wants to talk about "rescheduling" my cage install and other associated work.
It was supposed to be ready for pick up 8/26.. now if a great time to talk about rescheduling....
It's probably going over to TCDesigns in fremont; I need it done so I can test for the 25.

There is a Nov. 10 date, and end of Nov. as well. Tell Tom NO>>> The squeeky wheel Johnny Franklins in Santa Rosa does nice cages for a fair price as well.

 

Yep, Johnny Franklin's did my last cage. IMHO Tom's are better a little better built, but the other fators are I need a bunch more done to the car (wiring harness, seat, net, belts, windshield, NASA logbook and annual tech, etc) and Tom supports us in Cal Club and the Pro7 series.

Marcus

 

Oh yeah, depending on scheduling, I'm probably in, for november 10th.

 

Great, hope you can make it. My car was reclassed to TTU/SU from TTA. I know it is not officially racing according to NASA, but my group is running in the low 1:50s at Sears, and some sub 2 minute times at T'Hill. We are wheel to wheel, just absolutely no contact in our group. We have a 25+ car field this weekend.

 

You are going to Thill this weekend? I'll be there, crewing for my brother ( who is racing my car- his birthday present from me) come on by and say hi

Marcus

 

Will do, I'll be with the TT'ers

 

WOW. That was fun. Nice meeting you Carl.

Sorry I was so busy, It was fun, but tough to drive on a flat track with no clues as to where to turn but a 6" high black pylon LOL. I was basicly following the TT'ers, going on faith that they were on line. I did not even know where the pit entry was until the second session. I had a minor mechanical every session, so it was hard to talk. I wanted to ride with Zubere(sp?), but did not get a chance.

 

didja beat the supra?

 

Never got to run with him, we were in differnt groups. His times were better than mine, 2:00 Supra 2:05 me. I had many minor issues, mainly I had never been on this track before, it is flat with no landmarks, coming up on two 8" black pylons at 120+, and not knowing if I was going to turn right, or left was a bit of a problem There were two EVO VIIIs that I allways beat at Thunderhill, they were running 1:58-1:59(so they were two seconds faster than him), so I believe I would beat him at Sears, or T'hill. On his home track I didn't stand a chance having never been there before, but it was fun trying. Maybe I can get him to come up here...

 

never hurts to try man! I still have to go for a ride in that thing man. Go to the autox on sat and take me for a spin!

 

Wish I had been able to make it but I was fresh out of tires and brakes from an event the weekend before.

Wow... are these times the FULL track clockwise including the Star Mazda turn? If so you and the NASA guys are FAST!

The best I've been able to manage is around a 2:10

Me so slow...

 

John, I think we turned at the first right off the back straight, but I could be wrong. ****, when I had some problems with my car, I could not even find the pit road LOL.

 

Oh ok... if you took the cutout before star mazda then I feel a little better about my times!

Yes, Buttonwillow takes a little while to learn. You'll like it better next time!

Awesome! Nice pictures! haha It wouldve been nice to meet you and speak more with you in person but the mood seemed really apprehensive. Who was the girl in the blue NA S4 2nd gen? I wanted to briefly tell her nice driving but she was in and out of the driver meets.

Rotarys made a good turn out!

 

me want more pix!

 

Go to my thread for some more FC pictures and make some posts, it has over 240 views and lame comments with the occasional size complaint

Yea those are the pictures from TwinTurboTeddy, he was taking pics of his friend in an Evo. Your car is in alot of them.

Dont know who the girl in the 2nd gen was but that was pretty cool, and yea, that was LOTS of fun was was that weekend your first time?

I got cut short on the last session because I had like 1.5-2 gals of gas left and when I would go thru the sweeper the gas would go to the other side and the fuel pump wouldnt pick it up. But oh well. For that one day I had a blast !

See you again next time.

-Ryan

 

Ah, do you happen to have any of Teddys contact info that you could send via PM? I know he had a bunch of pictures of my FC i was waiting on. Or if you could relay my email (Jinn444@aol.com) to him id really really apreciate it.

That was my 1st time with NASA and running full course length and 2nd time at Button Willow, how about yourself? I started in HDPE 3 but due to brake problems which kind of haunted me for the rest of the day, I dropped to HDPE2. Yea hopefully see you again soon. I'll be hitting the local SCCA autocrosses more often.

 

Yea its TwinTurboTeddy on AIM. I erased all the ones that didnt have my car in them.
