DLS and I made sweet love behind garage #2.. only a few people saw us..

BJ Farmer, Jacey? (BlackE46 M3 on SSR/Hoosier), and I all had a great time with me driving the 240..

There were no incidents except a 944 hitting the T13 corner working station.. :nono :nono

I didnt get the white 240sx into the 55's like I thought it should, but we had a small power problem, and I turned 56's..

I should have some good videos up today, including a 1:52 lap in a corvette..

Who's ready for TDE Dec 9/10??

YOU WON THE HPDE!!!

Awesome. One time I won the Road Atlanta BMWCCA July HPDE. Wow it was awesome!

Chef says to make sweet love by the fire....

So are you now the reigning HPDE champion in your region? :devillook
Don't come out here, I will have to show you my superior skillz by punting you off the track going into turn 7 at Infineon. Only NASA allows this trick move, I have seen in twice personally and it does work. The punted driver will not be HPDE champion that day. :help

Congratz...NO TROPHY??? Damn. That's sucks. You mean the organizers couldn't find ONE SPONSOR that would cough up 4-500 bucks for trophies??

Good job anyway:cool

Sucks that I was sick as a dawg, and lost 90% of my voice all weekend (the latter may arguably be a good thing...). :( I barely broke into the 58's in my car, despite the cold temperatures. :( :( :(

I'll admit, I may have over estimated the 240's ability.. but there is more left on the table for sure.. We had boost control problems preventing me from going full throttle in 4th and 5th gear, so we were obviously down on power.. That, and the cold weather just didnt help the RA-1's and Hawk blues..

We'll be back this weekend going the other direction, with the boost problems fixed..

Weird. Because I rode with this person I am talking about in his friends 240 from out of town and it had the SAME issue in 4th and 5th. Couldn't go full throttle because it would start bucking like mad.

Weird. Small World. Two different people in two states with the same car with the same problem on the track. That car was scary. Brakes sucked, no traction on crappy tires... I think we were mostly just drifting.

You won what. I was working corner 6 and 10. We awarded the blue G35 the corner worker slowest car of the day on the radio. hahaha. and btw yall better be happy we stayed out there in the wind on sunday, it totally sucked.

and does anyone know what happened to the blue 17 e36 M3 on sunday. I think his name is BJ. He didnt show. He is usually one of the fastest ones in the instructor class.

and btw, why the heck did I have to keep throwing the passing flag for the spaceship looking prototype Porsche in the instructor class. Who was driving that thing, they should have been hauling balls.

BJ had tire problems. He thought that his Khumo 710's should still be sticky after 20+ heat cycles. Next time he's there he WILL have the cams, etc.

Yea, he told me about the cams. He didnt know the brand but said he was spending 5500 and they were quoting him 275 rwhp. to me both those numbers seem high for what ive heard about cams.

wot? they don't give out trophies for wining, not even a happy ending? why the hell am i pounding this fat pig of a car around tws then...now I feel stupid.

Ryan, it was great playing tag in the 240 - but I just couldn't keep up with you in the Vette. Remove about 100hp and put on 275s, maybe I'll at least be able stay close with traffic.

Saw you guys changing a tire on the way out of CS, you get back on the road OK. (I would have stopped, but I thought we were racing back to Austin).

Well yall were both driving good coming into 10. One of the few cars that would go balls to the wall over the hump and then late brake the hell out of it. Id say yall were gaining 50 feet on all the cars in front of yall every time on that corner, because everyone else couldnt figure out what to do with that hump and braking.

Who is ya'll? lol

I was driving both cars.. Turn 10.. you can brake after the hump, if you have ABS and big tires and a heavy left foot for some trail braking action.. :alright

Vids are uploading to you-tube.. prepare to see my hands all over the place.. Bad wheels bearings and problematic steering rack = hands all over the place, so BRING ON THE CRITICS!!!

Boost problems should be fixed this weekend...maybe a splash of race gas, and about 22 psi, Close to 375rwhp should help me keep up with you :)

Although, Im not sure more power will really help my differential situation :lol

I was driving both cars.. Turn 10.. you can brake after the hump, if you have ABS and big tires and a heavy left foot for some trail braking action.. :alright


The one exception to this may be the E36 M3. Its somewhat primitive ABS system gets all out of whack if you brake just after the hump, with the rear end unweighted. It works best doing a little bit of braking just as you go over the hump, release some brake pressure just after its crest, then complete braking & downshift as the back end settles after the hump, with some trail braking into the corner.

It is the only ABS-equipped car that I have found that needs to be driven this way here. All others are happy to brake after the crest of the hump.

Well being that the only e36 chassis car i've driven is bills, i'm not suprised i dont know about those symptoms...

Well being that the only e36 chassis car i've driven is bills, i'm not suprised i dont know about those symptoms...

IIRC, Bill's car's ABS behaves slightly differently than mine. I have not driven his car at TWS, but at MSR Cresson, it felt as if his ABS was not nearly as eager to come on as mine is. I could be recalling incorrectly, however.

Yeah, that's 100 more WHP than the pig has, that should work.
Still going to clobber you on 15, unless you cut a hole in the floor and help out with your feet.

I have to brake twice going into 10, once right before the hill, and once right after when the wheels load again. I am going way to fast ~105 to stop after that hill. I don't have any ABS issues, but I've tried only once to get it all in after the Hill, and there is just not enough room, even if I trail brake into 10. I do have ABS issues braking in 1 on the low line. There are some bumps on my brake line that send my chassis into resonation, which freaks out the ABS. OJ tells me there is a line slightly to the right that does not have the bumps, I need to find it.

yeah, I will never hang with you out of 15, or 11 until the car receives a diff, but it ilooks like it may be going home with a new owner after this weekend! I'm going to need a new DE sponsor LOL

Sucks, who am I going to play with then?

Sucks, who am I going to play with then?

Well.. If you can find another 100rwhp before this weekend, I'll be back in the vette this weekend, only on some good year slicks, and fixed steering problems.. time to dip into the 40's ;)

For the record, I have turned 1:57.8 in my ITS car at a BMWCCA race at TWS in 2.9 CCW last november. That would be a new SCCA ITS record, but the SCCA doesn't run regional races in that configuration any more. I do hold the TWS CW 1.8 record for SCCA ITS though from my first SCCA race. If the SCCA didn't screw us, I would probably hold all the track records for ITS in Texas as I would have done the full season in SCCA this year, not that it matters anyhow... Not bragging, I have been to most of the tracks and I know what I can turn.

The best time in that car before the stickley motor and gears was 1:57.5. I would expect low 1:56 or high 1:55's on fresh tires in the current car configuration at TWS 2.9 CCW. The car weighs 2850# and has 180RWH on 7" wide rims.

As for braking late into 10, I think it depends on the car. I can do it in my car, but I don't do it as it is faster for me to brake a little earlier, turn in early and drive a shallower line and get on the gas sooner and cut off lots of distance. In my old M3 track car, I was braking after the hump without issues.

We need to design a HPDE champion trophy. :D

Huh. My ABS goes bonkers if I do this.

The question is.. Who's faster?

Bill in the p-car on street rubbers or DLS in his caged, stoptech'd, RA1'd, GC'd M3..

:devillook

Hahahahaha! Well....ask Bill whether Stuart in his M Coupe was faster than Bill in the Yeller Gayman. Stuart & I run nose to tail typically. ;)

hahaha Yellow Gayman...

Either way, I hope bill will strap him self in the vette, and show me what i'm doing wrong :devillook

My goal is 1:49.99999999999999

One of the LARGEST kart races of the year is at the PRI show in orlando.. Most of the best karters in the country and their respective teams will be in attendance. I know a Formula BMW test drive, among other things, is up for grabs as a prize..

I'd check it out, because the racing will ofcourse be super exciting.

You showed me how it is done.

In all sincerity, I would love to get a little seat time in a Vette as well. I have driven and ridden in a C6 Z06 at TWS, but I have never driven a C5 in any configuration.

I think I know who's nose is on who's tail. :D

The gayman won't be coming out this weekend - I'm bringing the race car out for the new owner. Yes, the ITS car has been sold and the new owner is running his first event in it.

I've got track wheels and Hoosiers for the Cayman at the shop - we'll see next time. :D

I don't know how to drive fast cars.... I'm probably not driving at all this weekend so I'll go for a ride with you and see if I can help. I think there are three sections going CW that is the key to going fast. They will cone off the fastest line into 15, but coming out of 15 is very important as well as putting on the big steel nuts and going into 2 full tilt. Also, the fastest line through 5 & 6 for CCW will be apparent when you do it CW.

You will probably have to brake on the banking in the Z06, but in the 325, slight lift, then turning in and getting back on full throttle off the banking with the car moving a bit sideways is really fast. However, it is easy to miss the braking zone that way. I did a pass at that one SCCA by doing this.

I think I know who's nose is on who's tail. :D




Yeah....I keep shooing him away, but he keeps following me around, all stooped over.

Sort of like Princess Riley...

You're not driving at all this weekend? I'm sure I can get a few cars for you to drive, as long as you take the owners out with you. They are eager to learn, but because of TDE/other organizations new policy of no passengers, it's hard for them to "see" what needs to be done..

I was behind him (and passing him) in the morning on Saturday, the vette was not making things easy. At first i thought the driver was an idiot (didn't know it was ryan)...., then I learned about the PS problem. It made sense, the vette was severely jerking on corner entry, like he was flicking it into rotation.

I whooped him pretty good in the pre-final, and I saw the sadness in his eyes, so i let him have my kart for the final...

i wus wondering about the "miata line" through turn one/two... :confused and someone shud help him with five...

Nothing wrong with his line in 1/2, Kenny. He drives like 120' fewer than taking the high line.

That video link you posted is a 1:52 ??? ... point to point time on the video track shows more like 2+01 or so.

WRONG.

Start/Finish to Start/Finish: 1:27 to 3:19

Translates to 1:52 for that lap.

On the other hand he's braking earlier...

On the other hand he's braking earlier...

...and getting back to throttle earlier...

In some cars, it is actually a much faster line.

I take the same line through 5 and 1 as Ryan. Does anyone else collect G2X data that I can compare their better 5&1 line results with?

He's just a bit late on the apex in 5. W/ a bizziolion rwhp, that's a smart move. Kenzo never uses his brakes, so his line is different.

Which turn were you working? Did you see the vette I was driving blow up? :devillook

Not an illegal pass. Instructors, running in the instructor group, are allowed to pass ANYWHERE with a point by in Drivers Edge.

It was not the instructors group. I believe it was like yellow. They were only allowed to pass on certain straights. So yes, it was illegal, and they were blackflagged for it, mind you, before they got to the blackflag station the elise spun off in 6, so they were black flagged for that too.

You should know that wasnt instructors. Since when do instructors drive nobles. Instructors have beater miatas and the like.

I was at 8 Sunday. I didnt work on saturday. I was busy

There were no incidents except a 944 hitting the T13 corner working station.. :nono :nono


Odd, a 944 was the only car ot have an incident at a PCA meet in SD by hitting a curb on the way out. And I think it was his friend's car. :confused

Good job with the win. :)

Those 2 vehicles WERE in the instructor group. The yellow Lotus belongs to an instructor with whom I am good friends. The Noble is a new instructor. While it is possible they were running in a different group, as you say, they ARE instructors. And so I guess they should have known better!

Yep, Dave's right...both cars belong to instructors. There was a yellow Elise running in the Yellow run group though, but the instructor Elise was the only one out there with black Volk wheels. That was the first time I've seen that particular Noble. I've seen a blue one down at MSRH, but not at any other track.

I think the Silver Noble might belong to Melvin Fain, I know he has one, and he is a regular insturctor at LSR PCA events. (I went off with him in his 911 on T7 at TWS - not fun)

I didn't see Melvin there. In addition, the trailer on which it was brought to th etrack had a New York license plate on it. Maybe it was Melvin's son or something?

I didn't see Melvin there either and to tell you the truth, I've never seen Melvin instruct at a TDE event. Melvin was my instructor the first time I was ever on a track at MSRC in my 410 rwhp '99 Corvette FRC. I believe I tore the front splitter on the first day exiting Rattlesnake. lol Fun times...he was running a Z06 then.

Melvin's got quite a stable of cars...last time I saw him, he had just purchased a 360 Modena. That was almost 3 years ago. :eek:

It would have been nice if the track wasnt a grease monkey out there. most of the instructors were hardly going noticibly faster than the others. There was some silver turbo miata out there that had mega balls though. was loud as crap too.

Just a quick note, a lot of the instructors at this event arent necessarily instructors because they turn the fastest lap times.. It is because they are the best teachers ;)

true

It would ironically seem so

It would ironically seem so

Not really ironic. When you get the typical green student on track, they are lightyears away from the kind of skill/knowlege needed to turn a fast lap. And you wouldn't want them trying it anyway in most of the cars they have.

DE insructors don't need to be hot shoes, just good at communicating and keeping their students from killing themselves or each other. If you *really* want to get racing instruction, someplace like Skip Barber is probably a better bet, because you won't get it in a green or blue DE session.

There are fast instructors, and many are talented racers, but being a racer doesn't make one a good instructor. Likewise, being an instructor doesn't mean they're fast.

Oh busted. Illegal pass in the middle of turn 8. haha, I was taking a picture of the noble while working the Drivers Edge event this weekend. Just happened to catch the pass in the photo.

Heh heh - that was me in the Elise. :) I think the Noble was confused since we usually run in the instructor group with passing everywhere. That session was combined instructor/advanced, with restricted passing. He slowed was down to let me pass, and I didn't want to stop to stay behind him. So I did what I had to do!

In car video from this weekend (but not the infamous illegal pass) at Google Video. I can't post URLs here, so just search for "SORX7".

Hey TAMUmpower, are you doing the work/drive thing at TWS this weekend? You need to get that sweet car out on track (if you haven't already).

Well, I might work sunday just to start a work/drive tab that I can use another weekend because im working on sat at my regular job. But im really not prepared to take my car on track right now, im still in school which means I dont have extra money for tires, and I dont want to be out there on my street ones. and the extra money I do have is paying for my last few tickets I got. I do try to get all the experience I can when I come in from a corner though, lol.

and I dont want to be out there on my street ones.
Why's that?

Hey Bill, Ryan,

Misty's got your emails and you should get a response soon. Our kiddo has the winter crud that's going around and she's trying to get caught up on all her correspondence.

edit: CG, sorry you can't make it out. There should be another in January. I don't have the date handy at the moment.

Thanks Martin. Hope to make it there out next time. :)

Sorry, i'm not "hip" and "cool" like you.. excuse me.. :devillook

Why's that?

cus I dont want to wear em out. and my fronts are down to the last 20%. I dont have the cash right now to exedite needing new street tires. which also means i cant really get a set of beater tires for the track either.

At TWS which has quicker lap times, CW or CCW? How many seconds faster?

His GF said one of the funniest things I have ever heard to him in my presence last Saturday. She is a crack up.

It's too bad she kicked your ass, Chris.

Greg, I bet they are very close, with CW being slightly quicker.

CW is much faster. You can go faster through 2-1.. and faster on the straightaway.. You also go much faster on the back straight going CW than CCW.. ;)

Is that why you don't ever race with us? ;)

Oh, and ask Ryan who almost lapped him last week. :alright

Why dont you review your videos and find out.. :D
Because I wasn't as fast when I did CW(a few months back) compared to when I did CCW last time. I was thinking CW would be faster but I thought I remembered an instructor at a TWS DE 2 months or so back saying CCW was faster.

PS-When I say faster I really mean quicker lap times...

Is that why you don't ever race with us? ;)

Yup, you caught me.

Good going!!

Greg, I think in most cars, CW is only slightly faster in lap times. Exceptions may be extremely high HP cars such as Z06's and the rare well-driven Viper, because CW allows so much more time at WOT and these cars can continue accelerating when your car & mine have hit terminal velocity.

FYI...last Saturday, I took the 550 out there for the day on essentialy bald rear tires (replaced the tires today). Even with all the oversteer & zero grip I had in 48 degre temperatures, I still saw an indicated 150 MPH every single lap before braking for T15. The C5 Ryan was driving, oversteer and all, showed 160 when I looked. Your car & mine would maybe hit 140.

Even in a momentum car, I think CW is faster since you spend way more time WOT. In my SRF I'm WOT from turn-in of 3 to turn-in off the banking. Or at least I am in my mind. It's been a couple years since I've run that configuration :(

Oh HELL no.

Almost lapped who? You mean when you had the tears streaming from your face because your go kart wasnt "fast".. so you lost to EVERYONE..

What did I do? I played "dad" and said.. Here son, take my go kart, it seems to be working fine, i'll drive your POS for the last race.

What happened you ask?
I STILL managed to lead the whole race, where you were able to get around me with only ~3 laps to go, still allowing me to place 2nd. :alright

No more mr. nice guy... :devillook

Ryan....Putting the "men" back in "menstruation"....

:D
