I think I am going to hit SD.... weather.com shows a high of 75 in SD VS 95 in Fontana. Have fun.

kwescott

its coo......maybe it would be better if it was "Our X 8"


@Ulllose, your absence will be your wedding gift to me....good luck in SD.
(edit) wow, just realized that that sounded pretty harsh...but what I meant by it was that without you being there, you opened up an opportunity for me to get another 1st place Rx8 cup finish....not that I didn't want you to be there.....

speeddemon32

and if I loose to you, this will be my gift to you as well.

speeddemon32

oh yes.... I was able to get the car aligned yesterday! woot woot.

for those of you that dont know, I took it in early this month but they were unable to do it. they said my car was to low and had to much camber. the heads would not read. I guess the laser hit the body of the car. so i tried again at firestone in redlands. it was very close to not working but they were able to get it done.

kwescott

I'll go ahead and accept it as a birthday gift....you'll still need to go to Target :P

speeddemon32

It has been a week with no Cal Club post event run down or points update.... wtf are you guys doing.

SD course was a blast, four runs and fun runs at the end of the day.

Only took me an hour today to buff out the paint damage I got at the event, not on course btw. I still have to get a paintless dent guy to take care of the rest.

Any of you of going to run at El Toro? We will be there sat and sun.

EVERYONE IS ON VACATION so to speak.

ChopsMcgraw

I'll be there both days along with some of the AZ contingent. Dents Suck.

I'll do a points update soon. Guess I stopped caring about the cup points since all those conflicting SD dates for the 2nd half of the year came out.

I plan to run El Toro on Sunday. Hey Chops, did you sell the RX?

sft05

I won BS in the 3rd run group--thanks to the Jason(s) not showing up or anyone else for that matter . Kwescott looked like crap before running the first run group, but solved that by . Must've help as we won BSP. I'll be at El Toro Sunday.

speeddemon32

Leith was not feeling well at all. when he threw up before his runs he was looking a lot better.

My first two runs were fast enough for the win.... by alot. (in comparison to normal)

my third run was even faster, but Keith pulled in a time that was .089 seconds faster then my time.

Keith 75.369
Casey 75.458
Cesar 77.330
Michelle 83.685
Rick 77.214

The course had an Option. we all chose the long way around, but after talking with Casey Quin, it sounded like the short way was the faster way. This is when it would have been nice to have you experts there.

the option was a sharp 45 degree right, tiny streight, then a 45 again. the long way was a sweeper right. (duh). the option was hard to see and seemed very slow, high chance of conage.

but again, Casey Quin convinced me that even though it was slower speed wise, it might have been the faster way. (being as he is in a camero, I cant just say, "well it was for miatas")

Also the BMW with the green spoiler was taking the shortcut...

I would like to have known what you two would have done.

Rick what did you do?

ULLLOSE

iTrader: (1)

9 times out 10 the short way is always faster.

You guys have fun today.... I am off to work, for the first time in 2+ years.

sft05

I took the short cut after watching the 2nd run group (only 1 car took the sweeper on their first run). I was too impatient on all the sweepers and drove a tight line rather than setup properly for some of the decreasing radius turns; and I braked way too hard exiting the slalom at the back. I worked that area and when taken properly the real fast guys (Red Evo Rick J.) was flat out through the esses heading up the hill.

what happened to keith??

ULLOSE going to work???

ChopsMcgraw

Still got it, no one wanted it evidently.

speeddemon32

yeah we shoulda taken the shourt cut.... all well.


What happened to your car Jason?

WHat job are you doing?

speeddemon32

Jedi.
Keith was sick. he was throwing up before his runs. I think the pre race/wedding nerves got to him.

I am glad he threw up though. he was looking a million times better once he did.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

My guess was pre-wedding nerves but wasn't sure ...
Isn't it funny how most people feel / look better after they've thrown up???

Another driver did not set their parking brake and their car rolled into ours. The paint damage was minor, a marker light left a scuff on the paint that I was able to wax off. There is a small crease/dent in front of the tire at the edge of the fender. No biggie, they should be able to push it out.
