How was the school? I heard there was 55 or so registered.

Im guessing either SM or ITA??

[Gilgamesh]

the school was good, the weather was great. not to hot or cold.

there were like around 50 ppl registered, i cant imagine the 150 they had in the past.

our car is an ITA car, but with my brother and i both co driving. i ran with the SM group. a russian chick in a black 99 miata was the fastest. my exit speeds were faster, but she blew me away in the straights. id say she had 10+hp on me so around 130+

Oh I know. I've heard of the crazy schools from the past.

How many IT cars attended?

Sounds like you have a pretty good motor in the car. What is done motor wise? And are you running SM suspension or IT suspension?

[StraightSix]

a russian chick in a black 99 miata was the fastest. my exit speeds were faster, but she blew me away in the straights. id say she had 10+hp on me so around 130+

There's a small possibility that I know her, lol. By chance was she from Florida, and does her husband drive a 'vette and sometimes a SM? Dark hair and kinda tall? Also, if it's the chick I'm thinking of, she's Czech, and she knows how to drive the wheels off of a Miata.

[OnURleft]

haha. How fast are you going down the back straight with a donkey?:lmfao:


Well we pushed around 145 inches per second last time but we got black flagged because he shit the track on turn 9 and sent a zo6 into the wall

[Elbow]

^LOLOLOL. I can imagine calling that in.

[Thighs]

im not on the list? LOLOLOL

[cwhiteboy]

Would love to go, but family's gonna be in town for the weekend, so, no go.

[claybird]

[ranger250x]

I'll be there everyday for it.

[Gilgamesh]

yea sounds about right, tall, skinny, stright black hair. accent. they had a double decker aluminum open trailer. blonde dude was with her.

there were more ITS cars there, speedsource FC, porshe 944s, a z car or two. about 4 ITA cars. fewer itbs, and then there was an itc civic lol.

My miata was purchased from saferacer. its a 1.6 spec miata block with a sunbelt head. were running the spec miata coilover package with revalved bilsteins ISC top hats and a RB front sway bar. its kinda a mix between ITA and SM. but its a well prepped car. were gonna build an ita motor for it though, .40 over and .5 compression bump, and all the other goodies.

[claybird]

Quesion^? What kida cars can run there?

[Gilgamesh]

question?

[StraightSix]

Quesion^? What kida cars can run there?

Reading, it seems, pwns you. The question was answered.

[StraightSix]

yea sounds about right, tall, skinny, stright black hair. accent. they had a double decker aluminum open trailer. blonde dude was with her.


Yeah, sounds like the same girl. She's a riot and stupid fast in that Miata.

[Gilgamesh]

yea that miata had some serious power.

she had all the other sm guys laughing too

[Elbow]

Quesion^? What kida cars can run there?

Miatas, lots of them, very gay stuff.

[Elbow]

Thats cool. I have a ITR E36 that I was going to run this year, but money got tight and its for sale. I going to be driving in a ITS E30 for ECR's and the VIR 13hr in a Miata with Casey Carden and someone else.

Have you driven your car at RA? I had a 1.8 miata that was pretty equal to a ITA miata and was curious what the lap time difference was (but i was on dead hoosiers)


Matt are you instructing the PDX?

yeah, im instructing both PDXA and PDXB

[Elbow]

Me too, well not sure if both groups but I am instructing.

[matthewAPM]

Me too, well not sure if both groups but I am instructing.

Uhh no ur not. Number one, your not on the registration list, number two, you dont have a current SCCA membership, and 3 is you have not been approved by paul

[Thighs]

[matthewAPM]

Uhhh, yes I am.

thats funny, I am talking to Paul in emails as we speak and he said its me and a few other road racers who are instructing.... And i just looked at the registration list, your not on it.


LOL :no:

How you going to say thats not somewhat close to a ITA miata? Ask CJ Johnson, him and I had almost the same setups on our cars and he had like 5hp on me. The only difference is mine was a CSP full interior car and ITA doesnt have interior. The cage makes up for the weight. fucking retard

[Elbow]

That's funny I talked to Paul earlier and he put me on today, yes I know registration is closed.

[matthewAPM]

?!?! how?!?!? you would still be in PDX B!:eek:

[90_ACCORD]

how much it cost to go and watch?

[Elbow]

No, I can be in C. PCA lets me run highest class track day with instructors. NASA lets me run without instructors, etc.

[Elbow]

how much it cost to go and watch?
2 day tickets are $30.00...not sure if that includes parking, I just got an answer of $30 when I asked 2 day price.

your car was CLOSE, but not anywhere close to "pretty equal". you never had that car dynoed, so you dont know what kind of power you were making. you were running anywhere between 50s and 48s, and ita cars are a good 3-4 seconds faster.

HAHA on street tires!!! Danny Carrolls Dad had multiple 1.45.XXX on hoo hoo's.

The ITA record is 1.42.xxx done by a CRX that won the ARRC.

[Thighs]

Your right. One event was 1.48's. Bad weather, fading brakes, and no heat in the tires.

[matthewAPM]

SCCA member, corner worker (your allowed anywhere), and PDX instructor, so I can get him anywhere if he is with me.

[Elbow]

SCCA member, corner worker (your allowed anywhere), and PDX instructor, so I can get him anywhere if he is with me.

No you can't..lol

[matthewAPM]

No you can't..lol

uhh yeah. you can. Why do you think PDX people and people that ride are allowed onto grid?? :doh:

BTW, call me bitch. your mom is off da phone

[Elbow]

Because that's during PDX...lol

[dazn]

Because that's during PDX...lol

hahahah. funny.

we were going to run,but its gonna too cold for us to get any decent data so we are doing a private test day tomorrow at RA and then another at Lil Tally monday. Its gonna be cold.....
I cant wait until everything gets into full swing. march should be really busy


alright, looks like we are doing test day tomorrow now.

[OnURleft]

When is the next drift event, bring the donkey & wagon out there next time :goodjob:
http://www.wimp.com/driftpro/

lol i'll stick to drifting on 10a and 10b and around turn 5 at road america. My favorite places to slide in the whole world thus far. I would however do a drift event if someone paid to reinforce my subframe and and for my tires. That would be good fun for a day. Unfortunately that guy has the weight reduction mod, so I can't quite slide like that with donkey power

[matthewAPM]

^ your gonna need a running car first. ha

[civic95]

I was wanting to do the NASA HPDE even there, but looking at the schedule I can't see getting very many sessions in... I'm not paying that much to only get 30 mins of track time.

[Elbow]

I was wanting to do the NASA HPDE even there, but looking at the schedule I can't see getting very many sessions in... I'm not paying that much to only get 30 mins of track time.

NASA HPDE you get more then enough track time, an hour will wear a new person out. But HPDE is ran both Sat and Sun...

[matthewAPM]

^ how was it today? I saw my neighbor getting the viper ready for the weekend I believe.

Ill be there nice and early!

[Elbow]

Late reply but it was pretty good, yeah the Viper was out there, Kinetic had one of their Koni Challenge cars out there, Randy Pobst was out there in a SSM Miata doing some driver coaching.

[OnURleft]

NASA HPDE you get more then enough track time, an hour will wear a new person out. But HPDE is ran both Sat and Sun...

+ Friday 9am-4p.m with BMW if you got some skillls. +1 with what Simon said, you get morrrrre than enough track time. Sometimes I think just the BMW Friday is worth the fee, then I remember I still have two more days

[StraightSix]

I was wanting to do the NASA HPDE even there, but looking at the schedule I can't see getting very many sessions in... I'm not paying that much to only get 30 mins of track time.

To clarify, NASA HPDE at Road Atlanta or any of the other tracks in the southeast will give you roughly 1.5 - 2.0 hours of track time over the course of a weekend. You'll also get about an hour of classroom instruction each day. So, you're right you aren't paying that much for 30mins. of track time, you're getting *a lot* more.

[matthewAPM]

Just got back. Tired, cold, hungry, but it was fun as shit!

Nice getting to see the people that came!

[Elbow]

Yeah, FREEZING cold, I am tired as HELL, and about to pass out. Slept in the back of a BMW on the floorboard lol. Fun weekend though.

[matthewAPM]

cant wait to get out on track again!

[Elbow]

Yeah, ITU or IT7 for me to play around for fun lol.

[matthewAPM]

Yeah, ITU or IT7 for me to play around for fun lol.

IT7 or ITA in the RX7.

I was checking that thing out. nice. need to take a few more things outta the interior, paint it, new tires and brakes, and ur good to go!
