Very Sweet to use the SR to block him! Good job!

Did anyone notice the football UFO at :34 seconds? Upper left hand corner.

It's the red ball thingie (official term) that they put on power/telephone lines to warn planes.

Correct me if I'm wrong that "gangbang train" was all SM cars not faster H4 cars pushing slower SM cars around the track. ;-) *hug*

actually there was a "faster" SM2 in that group, but it doesnt matter either way, its still not illegal.

I've been out of town all week for work so I'm late to this thread, but like always it was an awesome weekend.

My instructor was very helpful this time. His name is Rob Myles and does a lot of time trials and tech for the Eastern Motor Racing Association (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.emraracing.org">www.emraracing.org</a>). Looks like a small group that would help teach more of the competition driving aspect.

The E30 held up well. I started pushing it a bit more and had one "ass puckering" moment coming out of turn 5 and oversteering towards the wall. I straightened the wheel out, looked where I wanted to go, dropped 2 wheels off into a hole, and then maintained control and made turn 6.

I'm very impressed with the brakes, but the handling is still sloppy. My instructor said I need to install the sways to match the spec e30 suspension I have. It tends to feel unsettled in mid turn. So thats on the list for the winter. I also think I warped the brake rotors... or did something because they make a thud sound when braking now.

Pete, I also was disconnected on Saturday. I just wasn't in the game and actually zoned in on an RX-7 for 2 laps until I realized I wasn't braking enough going into 5 and had to go around him to avoid hitting him. Wasn't smart on my part, but was definately a learning experience.

Congrats to Evan and RJ! Its always great seeing you guys finish up top.

Jay Ray, can you email me pics of my car: <a href="mailto:c.procopio@gmail.com">c.procopio@gmail.com</a>. thanks!

So how much time/speed does the straightaway bumpdrafting gain you?

BTW, Pete... The XR looks awesome man! Looks like the race tires let you actually step on the gas pedal occasionally too! I remember being behind you at the beginning of one session, when you hit the gas on the front straight I said "holy shit!". Coming out of T1/2, I watched you pull away and burst out laughing. It looks deliciously ridiculous! How much power does it have these days?
