Shit man, this one was a bit disorganized by our standards, but hey, just wait until we get into the swing of things!
As a note to all looking here, the timing gear worked fairly well, although the program seems to have a memory leak and crashes after too many runs are made. So, all we have to do is save and restart the program after each collective group goes and weāre OK. Make sure to watch out for more fun events to come in the future!
I showed up late for my first track day ever, got out on the track and mostly just drove around wondering where I should turn. (The rules were explained, I just couldnāt figure it out on the fly!) I parked my car, knocked on somebodyās window and asked for a ride along. Dvoryk (is that spelled right?) grinned and told me to jump in, and showed me the course in fine style. Thanks man!
Rage, thanks for the helmet loan. My wife couldnāt wipe the grin off her face. The two runs I took her on were my best two of the day!
Thatās just a couple examples. This was a great introduction to a great club.
I am posting under my bros Id because i cant seem to log in under canadar32, Mods please Helpā¦ anyways, kick ass event, i met so meny nice people. a big thanks to GTR dad, wow that was so much fun on the ride along. thanks to all the JDM guys i had a blast. i need to start getting out on thusday!
i learned so much today, necc your the reason why i could not thank you enuff. maybe next time i will post some decent lap times.
Thanks to all the guys who showed up. The event was awesome. I have all the times on my computer. Iāll compile and post them all tonight. And Kent, thanks for beating the Honda and Subarus! :lol:
That was sucha fun event, definatly worth thr trip down. Next time hopefully I will have new rubber (boo re92ās) and new brakes with that I should be able to pull a couple seconds faster. I am very pleased with my times, my first timed run of the day was 1:45 and my very last lap was 1:30.
Thank you guys very much for such a fun event and I am sure we will be making the trip again sometime soon.
::EDIT:: one more thing, whoever that was that was taking pictures on the track aorund the corners, if it is possible can I get the pictures of my car(the light blue wrx)? If so can you send them to my email --> dillon . pisak @ gmail . com
Yeah the Festiva out their really proved how much driver skill is a factor! I never would have guessed a 1.3 litre driven by a 16 year old would have come within seconds of our fastest cars. I canāt wait to see him drive in a really fast car.
So did times keep dropping as the track straightened out through the day? :? I know I turned a 1:28 with a tiny bit of tail sliding keeping my revs up through the slower 2nd gear corners, but people were picking up the pace for sure.
Thanks again for the event guys, 'twas lots of fun. :E
Nice to see everyone enjoyed the event. The ones coming up will be much, much betterā¦especially when the wind isnāt busy āmodifyingā the course.
Oh and another tip. I think you should make marshalling mandatory. People sitting in their cars and napping while others have to bust their asses covering extra area is BS. If people want to drive then they have to get out there and shag cones.
