Oh... Do any of y'all have a tent/sunshade or something? I may have to go out and get a sun umbrella if not. :P

 

i've got one but with all my camping gear in the car it won't fit. We'll need one...anyone???

 

I saw there's a tent thingy at work we just bought. Maybe I'll try to "borrow" it for the weekend

 

Hmm, I wouldnt do it. You might loose track time if you can't get it in time before the next session. I know I can't get it done

I have a SPORT UMBRELLA but I am afraid I won't be able to use it as the center pole needs to be hammered into the ground. All of the pit area is asphalt in Mid-Ohio. And mine only seats 2 chairs.

 

We could setup in the camping area. Thats where I plan on spending my extra time.

 

My buddy that is coming with me bought a canopy last time after we were out at Beaverun in 94 degree weather. That was the last time we were doing that. All are welcome.

Sektor I will be happy to help with the A-arms too on Saturday morning. I just checked and group2 is not out on track until 9:50. We can try after the drivers meeting. I have the same A-arms on my car too. I know you need an alan wrench to move the sliders where the shims go and then just a regular socket to loosen them. You should be able to do it without taking the wheels off, but you'll need to jack the front of the car up so the front wheels sag enough to get to them. I can do that on mine, but mine isn't lowered and I think yours is. We'll see. Just let us know.

 

Oh yea another thing I noticed that I'm really excited about. Saturday we are running the club course and Sunday is the pro course. That is flippin sweet. I have only done the club course once. If none of you have, they add a chicane right before the keyhole. Its pretty cool because your lap times don't change much. Hope you all enjoy!

 

yeah I saw that too. Seems like everybody (except the racers) are super excited about that little chicane.

Lee and Deepu, if you guys don't mind bringing your NASA license and I"ll print out extra copies of the winner's card for my friend that'd be great (unless you guys have other ppl you'd like to give the winner's card to)

 

SO F-ing Jealous.....
You guys are going to have a BLAST

 

one of you guys have a SD card I can borrow? Mine is 2GB and that usually only lasts for one 20 min. session

btw no go on the tent, sorrie

 

I've got a spare 16GB card you can use. A cheap canopy is only like $100 on amazon... if only I knew where to get one locally.

 

Those fold out canopies are pretty large, I don't think they fit in the Z. I went with one that takes more time to construct (not bad now that we are used to it) and it fits between the rear speakers and the rear strut bar.

Target.

p.s. I won't be at mid-ohio with my cool Target canopy. sorry.

 

blah.

 

Haha that's how tired I am....blah

But today was freaking amazing! Thank god were not camping though, love this ac.

 

I feel you man. I'm sorry you have to leave early. I feel so bad for you. I hope you can get it fixed and get back out to tracking again soon.

It was nice to meet all of you guys too. I hope I can make it up to Grattan in September and see you guys again.

 

Skipped my last session and came back a bit early to have dinner with Sarah.

Man, what a freakin blast!! Quick comments from the weekend:

1) I never want to go to Waterford again, now I know what a real track feels like!
2) There's so many more levels of speed that I didn't even think was possible!
3) I have so much more to improve on, but I learned sooo much about car control and weight transfer.
4) Deepu is a lot faster than I imagined.....nice going man!

And it was great meeting everybody else, Dominick, Justin I heard about your LSD issues, sorry about that. Hope it's an easy fix.

 

How was the weather after I left?

 

It was still just hot and humid the rest of the day. Sunday it rained for the first session. I left and then came back later for the 3rd and 4th one because it cleared up and the track dried out.

 

I'm glad you liked Mid Ohio. Most people do. From the sounds of it Deepu was hauling some ***. He should try to get signed off to group 3 next time.

I hope to see you all again soon. Hopefully I can make it to Grattan for the BMWCCA event. That is a 5.5 hour drive for me though. We'll see.

 

Glad you guys had a good time. Mid-O is definitely a blast. Can't wait to go back next year. Deepu sounds like you were piling on some speed. Hopefully, you had it flat out through the first turn into the chicane.
