LOL, thanks for automatically including me Rob. And I am a track ho fo sho

I'l be there on sunday. Have fun sat.

that was probably my best day at the track - not once did i lose control, and i got better as the day went on. car is much more stable nowadays... good turnout!

It was an awesome turnout by the 350Z/G35 community and a very good track day with nobody having any major problems. Although I must say, the 3.1 mile configuration is much more fun that the 3.5 mile. I did cord a tire however so I am only going out today to take pics . Rob, what was your best lap?

my best was 3:23.5xx. i really like the way speed ventures allows the intermediates to pass without points in the straightaways. i didn't have to wait behind traffic much at all.

Um, you must have missed the G that went off track and ripped a hole in the oil pan.

It would have been fun to see you run today, too. The time trials were pretty fun.

Yeah, that G had a bad day, but none of us knew him. Just a random G at the track.

Yeah that guy wasn't with us so he doesn't count lol. So how did you do today? What was your fastest lap? I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had those two guys with me from Alabama and they didn't want to stay that long. I wanted some ride alongs.

looks like speed ventures posts the times of their events, so we'll have an idea of how everyone stacked up in a few days...

Mike sorry about your tires and thansk for the ride

Good to hear everyone had fun! Aaron, John, and the rest of the SV crew run some awesome events and I'm glad other locals besides me, JP, and Mike got to see what they have to offer. Last time SV was out at Pahrump was a long time ago but I'd like to think with the turnout they got at this event they'll come back more often. The time attack (!!) was a blast! I wish more of you guys could've been there for that.

The last time I was at SMMR the radical loop wasn't done. It was a great track then but it's even a better track now! The config we ran was long but it was a lot of fun.

The new S2000 worked pretty well for being stock. I got down to a 3:23.0 and I know there's still time I left out there. The car is in desperate need of an alignment. The lack of neg camber makes it really easy to overdrive and overheat the front tires .

Times should be posted on the SV site in a couple of days and hopefully everyone can join us at LVMS in June... http://www.speedventures.com/6-10-2006_event.asp

I got down to 3:19:xxx. With Karim in the car I ran a couple 3:20:xxx.

Only ran a 3:32 I think... still slow. Only got 2 sessions in though, that episode of brake fade / mushy pedal kind of freaked me out enough to call it a day.

*Incoming excuse... wait for it...*




The white group kinda slowed me down a little even though there were fewer cars on the track than the blue group. That guy in the Shelby replica was really nice in person, but he needs to learn how to give point bys on the track.

the blue group was great...

results are posted...
http://www.speedventures.com/event_results_db.asp?
apparently I was 5th place in Class 4, which results in 2 points.
mike - 4th in class 6, 3 points.
ty - apparently you have no class, sorry.

With Mikes power level and weight he should probably be T3 not T6

how does that class system work anyway?

^^^Yeah. I was in a class?

I think it's based on the hp you enter when you register. I put 400, yours says 300. I think they asked for flywheel hp, too.

I think they only rated him at 360-390hp?

Every car starts in a certain class depending on how capable it is for example The Z starts in T7. Then as you add mods, tires, do a weight reduction you get moved up classes. So a Z with DOT-R race tires automatically gets bumped to T6. Since Mike is entered with 300 it sounds like he only has bolt ons and race tires so he's not bumped as high as he's supposed to be. At the end of the year I think the winner of each class gets a trophy.
Here is the T-Series classing http://www.speedventures.net/Classin...gs_booklet.asp

so, assuming the new mr2 is in the same class as the old mr2's, i would be running in t8 on street tires... hmmmm street tires...

I must have registered back before the TT lol. I guess I should change that.

Bleh what fun is street tires when you have 710s laying around

If you start in 9 tires, turbo, and suspension and your car would fall into 6 which I think would be a a pretty competitive class for your car. The only problem is to trophy in 6 you'd have to be willing to make a lot of cali events since it's such a competitive class.
