Draco-REX Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 No pics of me 46.4 is the fastest for me today. Video is being edited and will be posted. I was fighting it all day. Understeer turned into oversteer in the blink of the eye. The car and tires did not like the cold. Power was virtually impossible to put down today. Ended 2/13 in RTR, 12/100 in PAX It was fun watching you wrestle that thing around the course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Running in the old guy/old car class, the Fire Arrow managed a 47.1xx and struggled to a 26th place PAX - but it ran all day and was driven back into the trailer. A successfule first outing. Now, about that body roll..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripleskate Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Looking at that really helps my decision of "should I buy a GoPro?". Looks like it would be really handy to see where I'm screwing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks Jones Looking at that really helps my decision of "should I buy a GoPro?".

Depending on where you put it you can see how your inputs are going and what it does to your line and car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwohio Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm glad I finally got to put a name to a face for a bunch of you yesterday. It was nice meeting you all. I'm sorry I wan't more available for ride alongs and such, the first event is always a busy one. I thought the course flowed very nicely yesterday, and there was definitely a 'line' that should have been taken, and I just didn't have my head in it yesterday and couldn't find it. With 100 entries and 40 of those being novices, I was too worried about running a smooth event. Oh well, that's what seat time and future events are for...... Here is one of my more 'fun' runs from yesterday while giving a ride to someone. I think this run was a 45.9...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashburn Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ah shoot, I should have asked who was from the forum at the event. Only guy I remember is Jones. I was gridded up next to you in the black... rough... Miata. Jones: Any thought in getting some track tires and putting all that power into the pavement? It was fun as hell watching you launch. I'm looking forward to OVR posting the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmwohio Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 How do you go about assigning instructors for the 4/13 school? We try and match up our instructors with students who drive or have driven similar cars. You are more than welcome to request instructors, but we can't make any promises.

racerx78 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I can say one thing i learned saturday is i don't need to any more power to the car. I need to work on keeping the cars transition under control. As fun as my spin out was i don't want to make a habit of doing that. Nice to meet you BTW! It was nice meeting you too. It was great to get to see the TTRS in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
