Yeah watching the video I realized that the left hander was taken to wide.
I
continuously broke too late going into the 180. bad RX-8 habits are hard to break. One of these days I will figure it out.

I dont think it does. It's just a really stiff ride. this layout seemed to have put us on the worse parts of the track. sometimes its much smoother then others.
we run super stiff springs and shocks... and fornt sway.

 

My video from Sun: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wf5MkCCjCWU

 

wow... super smooth!
You took that left hander (the one you said I took too wide) way faster then I did. you went in super hot and held it. awesome.

I see you downshifter in the turn around. I thought about it, but I remembered the Isley "STOP SHIFTING SO MUCH CASEY" saying..... no really, I knew it was a slow turn, but It didnt seem like a down shift turn this time.

I noticed with the miata I shift from 2nd to 3rd often, but rarely between 1st and 2nd like I did in the 8. I think its because the 8 pulled so much more MPH out of first then the miata does???

anyways, nice video. thanks for posting it!

 

... seriously.... Johnson is the only one that has purchaced his full SCCA membership?

stop paying the $15 fee on site and get your full membership. it will save you money in the end. (assuming you plan on doing this more then 5 races this year)

read the first post in this thread for instructions.

 

Yeah, I paid 15 for a year for mine, so you <24 guys are really gonna get a deal! Pre-register online for $15 each race, and you're good to go! Practice days will also be cheaper I think.

What's ironic is that I purchased my membership, and then my car catches a cold. Atleast I have my health!

Should be back sometime next month, or whenever it's done breaking in!

 

at least your only out for a short time. I had to miss a race in August because I got sick and went to the hospital. and then I had to miss a race in November because the car got sick... thats when I drove the Conquest.

I get a $5 discount for everyone that uses me as a referal. (I didnt know this before).

 

Anyone know anyone in San Berno area that can polish 2 rim lips for me. Casey???
Thanks

 

Let me touch it!

 

Nope, sorry Damon. ask Jesse, he might knw someone.

 

I will be at K1 this Saturday at 2:00
Let me know if you would like to come. (everyone here is invited.)

 

Will most likely be pulling my motor this weekend, so I'll have to pass for now

 

Just signed up for El Toro this Sunday. Who else is coming out this weekend?

 

See ya there.

 

I be there.

 

Rob and I are going to run 4 work 5.
Also, saw this on my home page. Miata turns 20 story w/ some funky pretty cool pics.

Good seeing everyone yesterday. El Toro Kicks ****! I think I can honestly say that I have zero problems with the cars balance at this point. Thanks for the tire help Rob and Will, made a huge difference. Now it looks like I really need to just keep working on my driving skills. Good thing no one is going to buy my car. I don't think I'm even going to bump my threads.

 

That is the curse of El Toro... The course are longer, and sometimes faster than normal, so the amount of fuel that is typically enough now isn't. I have run out at a PCA event there.

How were your times?

 

I got 88.067

 

82.693 for me, 85.399 for my wife.

 

my times.... yeah.... they dont count.

first run was a DNF. I got lost. just simply could not remember the course.
second lap was not much better, still could not remember the course.
third lap was MUCh better, I remembered the course, but then had fuel problems.

ran a 87.xxx but that really does not mean a thing.

Keith ran a 83.xxx

This was more like what I expected.


Your a machine Jason. 82.693 in a stock classed RX-8.... crazyness!



I added a gallon and a half of fuel to the car before the race. I figured that would be MORE then enough. car went 6 laps fine, and on hte 7th lap had problems. what do you think that course was? 1.25 miles?
this would mean I got worse then 6 miles a gallon... i dont expect 30 MPG, but damn under 6??? Jason, does that makes sense?


Keith said when he went to Willow with Denward in the RX-8 they got 6 MPG.
