I assume your " in" now as opposed to the "maybe" yesterday?

I'm all set. Gotta arrange rooms....

 

Have fun guys, I wish I could work this one, but it is not going to happen. I am sure you will all have a blast. Savannah in September is still pretty damn warm.

 

Well... I may be driving this one? Still a little early but I'm going to try. My son goes to college in Savannah so maybe he will need for me to come see him? :D

 

track *****.....:D

Here is the hotel we had folks at the last Nasa Savannah event.....

we need a new virgin for this event.....

 

I think my wife is going to be a little concerned about this discussion. :D

 

Looks good. How much?

 

I'm sure I'll be able to put together a deflowering ceremony for those that will get their track cherry popped.

 

who all is driving this one? I am overdue. I know Charlie will not do this track. It is hard on tires but not brakes from what I understand. I will probaly hate double apex turns.
I am seriously considering this one. It probaly will be a little cooler by then. Still warm but a little cooler at night. Anything in oct/nov at RA?

I will be happy to go down, I have yet to attend a NASA school since joining. I am SO lazy sometimes.

 

Glad you brought that up...I spoke to quite a few people at RA about that. Instructors, racers, etc.....the general theme was that lightweight and/or good front/rear balanced cars do "okay" on tires. On the other hand fat arssed cars such as most of the BMW's, Mustangs, The Porches, eat tires up...

I drove (well, rode) the track with one of the locals there in Savannah and it is a very flat track, has very forgiving run off's, and only one bank (6-7 if I remember correctly). It looks like the designer sat down with a compus(sp) and built the track.

September will be warm but not as humid as is was a couple months ago. Hell, RA last weekend beat the heat at Savannah hands down.

I'll be there. I am driving and when I'm not in class or on the track I am continuing my RC/starter training (I'm gonna have my hands full for the two days).

I think I am also RCing "The Rock" in October.

 

And RA was no picnic on my tires last weekend. They are still picking up every little bit on the road.

 

It is the material the track is made of that eats the tires. Add some camber up front, especially on the left front, and then rotate the tires at lunch. You should be fine, especially with the reduced heat. I have been there a number of times, and this seemd to resolve the issues.

 

That reminds me (thanks) the rotation thing was brought up as well.

 

So it's $125 a day? Just give me some more info on this event. I'm ready to hit the big tracks now.

Do you mean RA or Skidpad? Which was worse?

 

Ok . i wonder how many cars will be on the track at the time. I should be hp-2. With good run off i may want to "gasp" turn off my dsc!

Are they giving you worker credit while you're doing this? If so, I'll work and play too! I'll send am email and ask to see if I can do it.

 

turn 1 and turn 12, those were the two that I could tell were killing them.

Skidpads are slick, less friction. Lots of fun! :D

 

As long at it involves a late apex, I'm your man.

 

I was thinking more about all the smoke from the skidpad. I don't think that was exhaust smoke.

 

no, just oil from bouncing off the rev limiter. oh, and maybe a little tire. remember, i am trying to kill these tires since i hate them.

 

Well, I'm trying to work out Roebling. My work issue has been taken care of, but there is one other that I (gasp) forgot about. My wife's birthday is the 25th! She doesn't mind, but I kind of feel bad. We should be able to celebrate it early, and I think I can get her a gift that will let me go to Roebling.

 

You mean your Turkish Delight....:D?
