That is ok, I will just put the smack down on the Indy and South Bend guys instead!

Bring it!

 

I wondered when you would chime in, I am sure Boobzilla will be here shortly!

Chris-

I am pre-registered.  I do not remember, do you run on race rubber?  If so, do you want me to help change out wheels?  What time do you want me to be there?  I will buy your lunch in appreciation for the co-drive.  Want me to bring a cooler with water or Gatorade or such?

 I am pretty psyched about this!

I run on street tires for now.  Race rubber is the plan for next year.  I plan on being there around 7:30 before they start charging for parking.  I usually bring a cooler, but if you want to thats cool.  One thing I wont have to pack. ;)   Prepping my car takes all of ten minutes so no worries there.  Thanks for lunch man.

 

Chris-

I should be there about then as well.  I just put some bottled water in the fridge to cool.  I will also be packing my own helmet, a Safety Stewards cap (in case they want me to be one or if saomeone wants to borrow it), alternate cap, as well as some sunscreen.  Oh, and hopefully I am packing my brain for "manual" traction control.

C U in the AM.

Traction Control?   Man we don't need no stinking traction control.  

Evil grin.  

 

Chris-

Thanks again for letting me co-drive in your Corvette.  The above comment about traction control seems ominous in light of my first run.  The fact that my wife happened to have time in her day at the right time to bring the girls out to see me do a few runs was awesome, especially since it was Father's Day.  They missed my first run where I spun, but caught me killing the pointer comes at the entrance to the last slolom after coming into that corner too hot and pushing out on my third run.  They were sitting on the "grassy knoll" under the trees, so they had "ring side seat" for that one.  It took a little while for me to get used to the power of your car and get the seating/steering wheel in a good position to me.  But, that is an awesome car and it felt good to progressively learn it and just to be out, driving in an event on an awesome day.

I looked at the videos last night, just on the little screen on the camera, when I got to my rental in Richmond.  I am sorry, but as I suspected, I must have pushed the video button a second time by accident and missed your last (fastest and cleanest) run.  I did get all or at least most of all of your other runs.  I should have time tonight to do a little editing and send you video.

The one thing we did not do, which we should have, is ride along with each other.  You kept saying "I don't know where I am coning" and I kept saying, "I cant see well enough through the video screen on the camera to tell".  We should have rode along with each other.  Oh, well, if the opportunity arises again or if you have someone else co-drive, you might think about doing that.

I know a quite a few people were shooting digital stills.  I am looking forward to the postings on those as well as the results.

Thanks, again!

Good event. The course was a lot of fun. Not as fast as it walked, which is a good thing. The site is fantastic other than a very dirty surface. Not much you can do about that though.

I had enough of the heat for the day and left a bit early. Any idea when the results will be posted? And where? I can't seem to find any 2009 results on your website.

 Chambers....great job, you were smoking fast!  Don't quote me on this, but if my memory hasn't failed me, the top few on PAX were.....

1. Steve Merietz

2. Dave Feighner (sp)

3. Scott Lewis

4. Chambers (I may have you and Scott mixed up)

5. Clemens

6,7,8,9,10 (?) (Raliegh and Dan Stone were in here somewhere)

11. Me

That's all I remember!

 Your going to have to copy and paste.  I dont know how to embed the video for this forum, much like I dont know how to drive in the video.

Not looking for critiquing but thought I'd post up my first gopro video.  It took me three runs just to remember the course.  By then my day was done.  Had a good time though....just wish I could of finished my runs.   

Chris-

I like the low shot and the soundtrack. Sorry you could not finish.  I wonder how bumper/front chin spoiler cam would be.

In other news, I pulled the plugs on the Subie in order to try to turn it over by hand.  First, I am embarassed by the plugs as they are totally shot 0.063-0.078" gap and completely obvious "erosion".  I did get the engine to turn over using the crankshaft pulley bolt head (it got easier after the first few cranks).  Ran into an out of work mechanic through some people I know this evening.  I might have him by with his compression tester sometime this week.  He also still has access (username and password) to a website for professional mechanics that has all specs, diagnostics and p/n by VIN. I have also brought my Haynes manual (for Leggy, but covers EJ251 engine) for reference.

Ditto for me...I'd like to see the results also.  Where are they posted?  Maybe just run the printed results through a scanner and post them anywhere and point us to the site.

I would look for a new link in the forums here.  They are not utilizing the web site for posting points and results.  Weird, since I got some chewing for posting here before allowing the website to have its glory first...  Just a FYI!

Cheers
