Nice summary Erick!
Seemed to me Jim was pretty fast on the front straight and lost time in the braking zones and corners due to the All Season Radials (and the fact his POS is FWD )

BTW

Let's check out the footage later tonight. I need to borrow your ODBII cable to figure out the CEL I got on the way home last night.

Sound like a Deal?

Lap times? There are no lap times at a school event!

Here's the first batch of photos:

Ray was duking it out with a damn-fast Porsche 968. And the S2000's were killing the BMW's from what I saw.

Ted: Dude links are broken.

Were there any "Reverse-Kills" as Ray calls it?

This wouldn't count but: Remember the joker with the Red Miata in B Group? He nose-dived turn five right in front of me.

Agreed. Jim's braking seemed like less than what I had... and the S2000's were outbraking me by a healthy margin. Don't forget Jim also has rear drums. How good could those be? And he cooked the Super Blue!

Jerry: they seem to be working now, but there's something a bit hinky with the board's photo album feature.

Yeah, I had that reverse kill that you're saying you had (unless it happened twice). That red Miata was holding up a big train of cars, as usual; at the start of the front straight he pointed two cars by, leaving me (and Ray?) the next two cars behind him; seeing that there was only 7/8ths of a mile left, he decided that there was no way anyone else could complete a pass , so we were stuck behind him, still. At turn five, he drove stright off the track and up the dirt embankment, allowing us to finally get by.

Jim,

sorry, dude. At least we said "Hi and bye" as we sucked your doors off on I-90! Thanks again for hauling the spares.


Erick,

I dunno. By the next lap it was gone, and I think it continued running, but there were reports of two red Miatas, so who knows. We eventually paid my instructor off to get at least one booted out of the B group into C.
