Road atlanta

well here is some more of a write up and some vids
Well after a long weekend, unfortunately a slightly rainy weekend i made it back safe and sound from Road Atlanta Club Race. Frank and I made some progress over the weekend, Frank even ended up with a 1st and 3rd in class. I ended up with a measly 6th in class (9th overall) in a very tough e-class with about 12 total entrants just in E. Constaneau (sp?) was in first for the entire weekend turning some rediculously fast times.
Leh Keen was down there in a 997rsr that was freaking bada$$. sounded sooo good not to mention he was driving the crap out of it.
Big thanks goes out to Charlie at Intersport for all the setup on the car and making the trip down.

For my first time to atlanta i think i did ok, shoulda had a 5th place but didnt defend and also had a missed shift (yeh stupid rookie mistake) what can ya do. We had a sunny day on friday practice sessions, saturday morning was good, afternoon was WET...Sunday WET.... so with only hoosiers i was benched for the 2nd half of the weekend....will get some rains sometime. even with not driving sunday i had a great time and will definately go back for another club race...i still have alot of time to find and put together on the track. Frank did well in the enduro and i think got a podium in class as well.


here is the vids from the first race. had an ok start/chopped off and you can watch th rest, sorry had to break it up into 2 to upload it.

Road Atlanta Club Race

Well been a while since an update so might as well. Had a Great time down in Atlanta, it was nice for Friday and then Sat morning, then the skies opened up and it rained alot so I sat and watched the rest of the weekend with no rain tires....oh well.

Ill have some vids and pics up later on but definately suggest making the trip down there if you have not, i know ill be back at some point.

i started 12th and ended up in 9th overall so i cant complain too much, was shweet seeing the cup cars and leh keens 997rsr.

Summit Point Club Race Oct 1-3

Well this is a little late but better then never.
Had a great time and some good racing, Ended up with a pers best lap time, as many others did as well. Still off the pace of the front runners but what can ya do.
I think i ended up with a few 4ths and 5ths in the spring races and managed a 3rd in the enduro.

Got my new dash installed, racepak IQ3, so finally got to get some telemetry from the car and was suprisingly close to my theoretical best lap time, which means im either driving the crap out of the car (not likely) or I need to tweak a few things on the car/my driving to get some more speed out of it.
Intersport did a VERY nice install of the dash, ill try to get some pics, so many thanks to them.

Some vids will be up eventually, just been busy with life (by that i mean a teething 6month old)

Been a while since ive had an update so... Was out at Summit with the SCCA this past weekend and had a good time. Had a few issues (rear sway bar kept popping off) but ran good otherwise, finally have a nagging oil leak squared away.

Getting ready for Club race this coming weekend. Car finally has a gas gauge in it haha. Getting the new gauge (racepak IQ3) installed today hopefully. cant wait to have a little data to make fun of myself with.

Tried to run on some year+ old hoosiers that had about half life left and boy was it scary, they made a dry track seem like standing water...was glad to get them off the car.

Got a new fishey lense for the video camera so should be able to see in the car a little better.
Will have some vids/pics from the upcoming Summit race after this weekend.

Porschefest/Vets on Track

Had a good weekend, though very rainy, i mean i didnt even go thruough a whole tank of gas this weekend.
Student did great, she was more and more comfortable with her car and was trusting my input and encouragement of the gas pedal, for her second DE she was flying and smoothing in the rain.

I hope all of the wounded warriers/Vets had a good time, i know it was great to see them out there, especially the guy throwing the checkered flag, got a big wave and bigger smile when he saw me wave thanks to him. The dinner and hopefully the day for them was a good deal of fun, cant thank them enough for all they have done.

Car ran well besides a few little oil gremlins and some older hoosiers. the dry session we got on sunday was a ton of fun though my tires didnt want to grip.

Had a few bad incidents happen in front of me luckily everyone was ok, my condolences for the loss of some nice machinery. I hope they come back with somethign else to play with.

Should have my new IQ3 dash installed soon and finally get some data, an odometer, and maybe even a new sending unit for my gas gauge. Thanks to OG for the dash.
Ill have some video up when i get around to uploading it.

Porschefest comin up

Well Porschefest is this weekend and I will be out at summit hopefully trying out the AIM pista dash/data logger, Alot of my analog gauges are well, on vacation... so hopefully this will help me be less of a pansy and keep that throttle down.

Otherwise not too much new on the car. hopefully my tires hold out, got a 3 day event, and races from VIR. might be pushing it but who knows.

Got my cool suit all worked out, BIG SHOT out to Brian and Steve from OG, they really pulled through for me. FAST, well ill reserve comment...
