Who from I-club made it out yesterday?!

Was the smoothest boondoggle we've had in YEARS! Great course by Ben Martinez, and even though I was on little sleep, and had a new junormous rear sway bar on the car, I did well.

I have oversteer, beautiful oversteer once again. woot!

I'll post up more after lunch.

How did you guys do?

My times:
39.4 (with drift)
39.4
39.2

 

i'll say hi next time, gagan.

first time on r-comps... brand new r-comps so they were pretty slippery at first. the car felt awesome... grips like hell and it still rotates very well. it had so much more left in it, but i have to admit i was a little scurred. i have to keep changing the car so i don't run out of excuses for driver error. karlton will hopefully get me up to speed on driving with the new tires.

off the top of my head:
44.4
42.3
41.8

must... go... faster. i think next event will be much better for me.

 

40.6XX. Not a particularly good lap, definately a lot more time to found.

 

missed it....was a beautiful day to be out there

 

I'm on last summer's RE-11s

I'm positive there was a mid 38 for me, but, I was just too busy having fun to figure out where I was going wrong.

How'd the class do?

 

being on street tires since I started in '04, I can't really comment too much on R-comps. I've only driven on them once or twice on gilbert's DSP car, and never got a real feel for them. Based on those times I found the R-comps to understeer (probably related to what I've figured out now, which is the more grip you have, the more of it moves to the back, hence understeer)

 

damnit! I missed it!

so how does it go for actually competing? if you miss a race are you just screwed or do they count the races you've done versus the points you've earned?

 

44.1 was the best I could muster. First event of the Miata with the Tein Flexes and new tires.
I know some of it is "rust". I was backing off in some spots I shouldn't have. All my runs (all clean) were in the 44 range so at least I was consistent !

 

37.5 clean and a 37.3 plus a cone for me. This was in my Dad's DSP Supra lol

 

Finally able to get on here. Switched browsers and now no crashing!
As for Boondoggle, I never used my brain to fix my mistakes, just drove harder and went slower. My first was my fastest, a 41.55X. But once the tires start to work and I figure out how to drive the current setup, I think I'll be able to get it together.
I still need to beat Hal.
I started beating him last season and then he got new suspension!

 

Hey Adrian, welcome to i-club

If your fastest lap was your first then something is going wrong....saying that I did see you Tokyo drifting through the timing lights so maybe that was your problem
