Adam, dude....you shouldn't let those guys beat up on you like that.

If I were there it would have looked like this:

* fabricated results for Fithamoto

 

man i wanna do aug 13, but it was so tough out there.... i will see.

 

I know. My feet were burning through the soles of my shoes. I feel bad for you guys that had to work out there in that heat. That sealed black asphalt just intensifies the heat so drastically that it's almost unsafe to be out there working for that long.

 

I think those timing issues probably got on some people's nerves, including the starter's. Plus, he might have been concerned about the people waiting through all of it on course. I felt sorry for poor Ken, trying to work through the issues on the phone with support in the timing van. It was a bug in the software and the software company had already issued a patch for it by the time I got home and ready my email. At least they found the solution during lunch. Speaking of lunch, thanks for the shade!

 

I wish I could remember who it was at Pennington field a couple years ago, but Jason (Z-Ya) had said those guys could be mean also. And he was exactly right. I pulled in what I guess the wrong entrance but they didn't have it blocked off and some guy tried to ***** me out and I was just like well sorry but I came right through that stop sign over there. I noticed they put some cones up to block it off shortly after.

 

Hey Jerrett, I'm sorry I wasn't there to cook you a Hot Dog or two.....I hope these guys were hospitable enough for ya. I will be at the next one and have to run against some tough drivers in the VQ class. Did they offer you a Dog ? They had my grill so I hope they did.

I saw you did pretty good on the times....as always.

 

we all missed your hot dog.

 

 

No dogs -- PBJ Tortillas and Cheetos FTW!

 

We awere mean to Jarret. Got tired of being beaten by an old guy in an old *** miata lol

 

Next one...you and your wife can eat lunch on me .... Hot Dogs, Burgers, whatever will be on us !


Pat....you need to respect yur elders son ! Jarrett can teach you many things on that course.

 

 

OMGGGG those are literally 1000x cooler than I was expecting!

 

ive got some CRAZY body roll going on.. i have rear and front strut bars, sway bars, and am sittingon tein flex with edfc.... any ideas what else?

Tie bars maybe?

 

I know lol . Jarret has probably forgotten more than I've learned about performance driving

 

Maybe preload your springs

 

What spring rates do you have?
Which sway bars do you have and what setting are they on?

Once your car is stabilized in a corner your body roll will be do to your spring rate and swaybar stiffness.

Your damper settings will control your roll rate but will not change your overall body roll.

Tie rods wont effect your body roll.

 

Very nice pics by the way.

 

Whats wrong with body roll?

 

Couple way to reduce body roll. Change your suspensions roll center (this isn't going to happen without $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and more $), increase spring rate, and stiffen anti roll (sway) bars.
