Man.....my car is LOUD!!! Skip to the 1:50 range. Crazy that you can barely hear the turbo miata in front of me (which was fairly loud).

You should do at least a couple They are only $35 for 5 runs.

But if you go on the PM, they have "fun runs", where you can just drive around the course for $1/run.

This last time, nobody stayed for the fun runs, so the guys from NCC let me do fun laps for free. I was able to do about 7 more and my wife did about 3 more.

Pretty fun!

I didnt then... it was only supposed to be a 10 day wait and I had to wait on my tires and a couple other parts anyway so it wasnt a big deal. they are already paid for now so ill see what they say today before i make any desicions or try to cancel the order and go elsewhere.

They were all supposed to get installed on saturday but hills is gonna get me in whenever they come in if they arent here. I have to work the next 3 or 4 weekends so I cant race for another month SOo im not stressing too bad. i just miss driving the car.

Thx. Dissapointed that I was the 12th or so though. But the way they classify the cars will not allow me to do much better later on anyways.

Yep. Don't feel bad I am in the class above you. Basically it would be all the cars you were racing against if they put racing tires on.

PCA Chesapeake has found a new venue for their events. They will be using one of the very large BWI lots. No idea how they pulled it off, but the lot is large....and seems to be concrete. This would be a rare opportunity to run on concrete....which is much more grippey/abrasive than asphalt. More info to come.

Tomorrow looks like it will be miserable. Only good thing is I run in the last heat in the afternoon. Most of the snow should be done by 8-9am. With temps getting to 40ish....it should dry out by then. I am going to chance it an run hoosiers. Most of the top dogs have dropped out with the impending weather. Hope to get into the top 15 pax (even with the ridiculous spec evo pax I will be uner (BSP)). If it were anything other than SCCA I wouldn't go, but I can turn down a chance to run on one of the big courses.

You guys should have come out today.....holy hell. Lee Piccione (sp?) designed the course.....he usually does a lot of the national courses. I am pretty sure I had the fastest raw time of all the non carts/caterhams. The car was great and the course was ridiculously long.....my fast raw time was 76.03s. I'll have some video for you in a bit.....
