Wait. What happened Emad?

 

I picked up AAA in 2007 when I was traveling around to the SCCA Solo Divisionals. Since then, I have needed at least one tow each year, plus I get discounts at hotels and so on. Granted I drive an older car than you guys (1993), but it is a good investment, especially if you are autocrossing and/or tracking.

 

yeah i had it till march, and didnt renew my membership. getting it back now! haha

Smokersmagee, my clutch pedal stopped working as we were leaving to get outta there...

Glad you made it ok Emad,

He had a problem with his clutch pedal going to the floor and it was not moving the pressure plate.

Here is my best run. First time to mount the camera like that from the side. I like the angle and I think next time i'll move it a little forward and be able to see even more thru the front windshield.

man watching your guys' z's go around these corners impresses me so much. your video looks SO much faster! your cars just seem to respond so much more, makign me think i def have some understeer issues. I cant take alot of these hard turns at the speeds you guys are taking them at... which is where i'm losing 4 secs off you!

especially going into the first box before the slalom, you guys just cruise into there, I was having to really try hard not to hit it at a high speed and get cones...

 

+1 Ok....but it is a bit wobbly.


Gavin doesn't seem to have a problem with his G and he's not Boosted !

Where did you get those times from ?

If you want, I'll take your car out for a lap, and then ride with you, and see where we can improve your times.

 

More viewing pleasure,

I lined up chris' vid and mine and took a screen shop of them. Lost a lot of quality but its interesting.

I had a terrible start, I think I lost 1/2 sec or more right there compared to Chris. The perfect run is still hiding out there somewhere

Its best to go to youtube and watch it on full screen.

Emad just whats your full setup. Tire size, shocks, sways, alignment?


I thought your first box line and speed looked about the same as mine. You were on the gas early and flowed thru with minimal distance traveled.
A tight line when your slow will be better them pushing wide, even if it doesn't feel faster.

 

^^^^^ This was nice to see side by side.

I lost some time in the slalom and thru that Box after the 1/2 circle...by then you were way ahead of me.

I know the slalom's always slow me down....but I thought I did good thru them on that day.

Good comparison!

 

Its was cool to see, I wish I had your start on that run!

I think we were pretty even down the slalom, check my vid at the 50 sec mark, I must of missed that cone by an inch.

 

damn, i wanna put mine up with these, and see all the spots i'm losing 4-5 seconds on. i can already tell 1-2 spots, but that would be cool. nice vid Scott!

 

Here you go Emad.

I forgot to have the vol up on the comp so you have to make your own motor sounds!

holy crap did you see how much time i lost in the slalom compared to you? but how come that one cone looks so far to the right on my video? you killed me around the slalom and the box before it.. i gotta lose some weight on the car haha and also tweak some stuff.

 

I saw that you were very tight on that first cone....and even closer to that second cone....I can't believe that you didn't bump it at least.

If you had my start you would have been around 90 or 89 !

 

Was your vid from the afternoon run? I though the afternoon slalom was different from the morning. My vid is a morning run.
I pulled ahead in the second section. The first set of slaloms we were close. Did you notice that second set looked like gates but was really just an addition straight slalom section?

Woulda coulda shoulda

 

yeah mine was afternoon, where the slalom seemed messed up..

anyway,reiners run in his M3

I would want to drive that M3 on a run or two ! DO you think Reiner would let me drive it ?
