And I was out yesterday with the team as well - I got to ride in this (150+ down the front straight while short-shifting).

We qualified 7th overall on grid

Sweet, that is the guy that told Dave "Yes, actually I do mind" when he asked for a ride.
- .RJ - 06-05-2004
He just bought the car, very nice guy to hang out with.
- .RJ - 06-05-2004
Besides, if someone just doesnt want a passenger in the car there's nothing wrong with that. They paid for the track time, they can use it however they want. There are times where I turn away passengers because I want time to myself to work on things.
- Mike - 06-05-2004
You can put it more nicely...
- Evan - 06-05-2004
Ive had to turn away people who have asked for rides (not sure why they want a ride in a miata anyway) and almost every person gets pissy. Quite frankly I resent people who expect to get rides. Most of the time I love giving rides, but sometimes I may want to work on getting a clean fast lap, or work on heavy trailbraking (see: off twice at the same corner in the same session) and really cant take a passenger. (also the brakes hate an extra 200lb in the car too and it handles like ass)
Its not like the guy said "piss off" to him.
- Dave - 06-05-2004
understandably, you have your reasons for not wanting passengers. I didn't get pissy or cop an attitude with the guy either. I understand the various reasons for not wanting a passenger in the car. However, the tone of voice and wording used was unnecessary ("piss off" was essentially what he said) and he was a cock in general (speeding through the paddock, on a seperate instance told another worker to get the fuck away from his car). I have been turned away from rides on numerous occaisions and never thought twice about the guy being a dick UNTIL that particular porsche driver.
I don't expect anybody to give me a ride on track for my own enjoyment, althought I will admit that a couple rides on track can make working at a corner all day almost worth it. I will also say that getting a ride from an instructor and actually watching them helped out a ton in getting my own techniques correct at VIR (thanks RJ). I'm sure that you guys understand this.
I also think it was a different GT3 Cup car, although I cannot confirm or deny this.

Definately not the same guy.
- Mike - 06-05-2004
He does drive a p-car
- .RJ - 06-06-2004
Neither of our cars finished
But I had a great time. You guys really ought to come out next year, its a blast and a great learning experience.
