[QUOTE=AUTOwrXER;17161055]Actually it was Rob Faulkner driving Charles' car. Rob is a madman, but the car is a killa. If Rob drives it this weekend he'll win by a second with sand in the trunk.
Bill - I didn't think the car pushed. I thought it felt good except for the diff. Fix that and you'll be well ahead. We've got our work cut out for us with Jason Tipple in a S2000 on a transition course. This is basically an airport course, so we may need the rain on Sunday...[/QUOTE]
oh....sorry..and 3rd gear.....;)

Ok....update time....
Suby's are going well....
1st ASL
1st STU
2nd STU
3rd STU
1st BSP (16 in class....All cars are within 2.8Sec of Joel in Brians Car)...
I would be 2nd right now behind Joel...But coned ALL 3 of my Runs...
So I have some Work to do...Jason Tipple is officially in 2nd about 6/10ths back...then it gets crazy close...If I didn't cone...I would have been ahead of Jason Tipple by a 1/10th and half...or so...but I am now in 11th place..:rolleyes: 2.5 seconds down....I am really disappointed...but sometimes thats how it goes...I have incar...but I don't think my hotel allows you tube....we'll see...Car Felt Great...Definitely can be into the mix of things power wise and handling....just needs a better driver :( Oh well nothing to loose now...balls out tomorrow...and maybe I can salvage something...
NO diff issues today as the course was pretty much a balls out 3rd gear (STi) run...
Ian Stewart ran a 36.1 in the GT Porsche in SS... .only to be beat my MR. McGeorge in Z06 by a 1/10th from the ASP folks.....BSP was about 1.2 seconds off McGeorge's Time...For a 37.2 by Joel...(Mine was a 37.7 with a cone...and Tipple's time was 37.8....Fastest Street tired car seem to belong to STX and STS2 in the low 39's....thrdeye is leading STU by a few 10ths... and Meridith is leading ASL By 4/10's...so....Most of the Subies are doing Well
....just wish I could have cleaned up my runs..:(...Oh well...Till tomorrow...

Well I found a guy driving an 05 STi in BSP who let me run his street tires, which are RT615s in 245/45/17's.. And Jon Krolewicz adjusted the toe, he said there was 3/4" toe out!! Too damn much!
After today I am leading by .247 over an 05 STi from TN.. THe course was so damn fast too! It was a 1/4 mile down, and back, with some ofsets, and slaloms.. I spun my first run, had a 41.2xx second run, then got a 40.4xx on my 3rd to take the lead! Should be interesting tomorrow. It is supposed to rain.

"Man those tires are wide....Are you sure you not going to hook a gate with them things..."
"Man those cones like you huh"
"I think all the Rally cars should have their own class"
"You didn't drive a 100%....:eek: Holy ****"

UGH. Second day. One wet, conservative run, and then getting too out of sorts to stay on course the last two. :( Third to ninth is a hell of a drop.
| jcroy66 | 02-26-2007 09:24 AM |
I disagree that those are all mind game comments. They CAN be. Some of them likely were. Doesn't mean they were all meant that way. For instance, quite a lot of those were comments I'd say, and I almost never play mind games. I'd say them either in the course of a normal conversation (like the comment about the diffs) or just to tease a buddy (like the comment about getting beat by a Civic with no LSD). :) But that's different than playing mind games.

I'm just lucky I held on to 2nd spot in STU. Kornhaus drove great under the stress of trying to find some tires, etc. I am really not used to shifting that much and I think that's one reason STU was so slow compared to the other ST classes. I just suck at shifting.
Saturday I had to go from 2>3, 3>2, then 2>3 again, otherwise, I would have been on the limiter for a looong time.
Sunday was a little easier, but still had to go into 3rd and back into 2nd. It sucks that everyones last runs in STU were a washout. Mine was dry up until about 15 seconds in, then there was VERY heavy rain and that was it, I actually had to turn the wipers on in one of the straights.
All in all, I am pleased and it's the first time I've ever won any money racing (w00t!)

That car was a LOT faster than I expected.
C3 Corvettes in BSP should get a one second cool points reduction per day. :cool:
Looks like it's going to be another interesting year up here. :)

[QUOTE=KC;17179997]Wait... Carter is in an RX8 and not a 350Z? Ohh man, I need to find out why. :lol:
--kC[/QUOTE]
They were running 285s all around, and Carter actually turned a 37.0 on his last run Sunday (but danced a few cones too far). He looks at home in that car, and should be very tough in Topeka. Jim (Carter's dad) looks 5 times better in the 8 than the 350Z. When I was watching him run on Saturday I thought it was Carter at first until I noticed the car number.

As far as the mind games were concerned, the tire changing thing didn't really get to me. When it was raining it was coming down hard enough to justify the Wet Radials, so we switched them on one half of the car and started playing the waiting game. If it would have continued raining we would have switch the other side to wets and run, but it stopped raining and the breeze quickly dried the course so we swapped the drys back on. I was just hoping that it wouldn't turn into a 1 run heat, but the course dried so quickly that 2nd drivers had a dry line on their first runs.

Thanks. I still feel like I left a little time out there each day, but for a airport-esque course I was happy with the way I drove. I normally suck it up on those type of courses, but they are always fun to drive.

A question for the entrant's, why was STU so much slower than STS2 and STX? Did weather play a role based on run group times? Driver pool? etc.?

I answered that in my other post, I think. I am the 2nd place guy in STU.
A lot of new experiences for me on this course with all of the shifting. We have also added a lot of power since last time I drove the car, and b/c of that, we were in between 2nd and 3rd a lot. Also on new tires, new front spring rates, and a stiffer front bar.
I was also being careful not to cone away a win because of all the slaloms and transitions. After talking to the experienced guys, I've realized you can't be careful....you just have to drive.
I feel like I would have been faster in my STX WRX, back in my comfort zone.
But the real reason STU was slower is because the guys at the top of STX and STS2 are way better and more experienced drivers.

Nationals contenders....Not to take away from the STU folks as they drove great...
STS2: Andy Hollis, Darrin Desimo...etc
STX: Mike King, Meridith etc....
I think the gene pool was deeper in those particular classes with no less than about 4 Nationals champ/contenders in there..

thrdeye and Bill are dead on. Put those top guys in STU cars and they'd have been miles ahead of STS2 and STX. :)

I talked to Carter, Story goes. He got back from Nationals and Got a Call from Nissan informing him they we're hiring in young guns to replace the veterans at less salary and they wanted their Leased 350z back in 10 days.
So Carter Bought a Mazda (which he thinks will be better on the slippery surface in kansas)!

yes, that last finish was quite entertaining. I wasn't sure you could get through that last offset that far sideways without a cone.
Only picture I found of me in all those pics is of me driving the sweeper. Oh well probably some of my best driving all weekend. :lol:

so...just out of curiosity, what does winning a National Tour do for you? nothing? just wondering. didnt have any contingencies, so nothing there.
| thrdeye | 02-27-2007 04:47 PM |
National Tours are good for contingecy. I think I am getting $150 from Yokohama, some guys get free tires, etc.
