cloud9 said:That sounds great. I do have a lap timer in my car so if we can't get them Saturday not the end of the world, but would be happy to pay the "normal" $10 MAM transponder fee if that's the case. Sunday sounds fun....a Time Trial format in this situation makes a lot more sense. I booked a hotel today in Council Bluffs and just registered. I don't know if any of my buddies from the MPH event will make it so might be flying solo. Looking forward to meeting you assuming the car survives MPH without any serious mechanicals

I got an email on Wednesday night that there were only 5 spots left and that they were capping it at 60 cars. I would register ASAP if you plan to attend.vista6019 said:Any spots remaining for this event?
cloud9 said:Had a great time on Saturday. It was great to see Bill, Jeremy and Rob and to meet Reggie. Dang his car pulls like a freight train on that corn! Here's some vid playing with a wicked fast FR-S. It was gutted down to 2500 lbs and made 400ish at the wheels. He was young, fearless and quick! I thought we were going out under yellow so let him run out quite a bit before I realized we were starting green. Had a lot of fun chasing him down though.

That's great you're moving really quick to turn a 1:45 already! Wish I could have stuck around to knock off the Vette in the timed competition Sunday but three days on the track and it was time to get home. The FR-S and I were running low 1:40s when we got some clean laps on Saturday. That was the FR-S driver in the silver Vette. After he blew up his trans he started driving his brother's silver Vette but it wasn't as quick as the FR-S.12coBoss said:Good to meet you to Gary. Had a great time this weekend and picking up some tips from you and Bill. I was happy to get down to 1:45 and a few 46's but still have a ton of room to improve. Couldn't get close to those times on Sunday though, silver vette won the timed runs with a 1:44, blue nissan had a 1:46, all I could muster during that time was a 1:49.

You forgot to post the video of your spin! LOL
If you never go off you're not trying hard enough12coBoss said:Haha, Yep first spin is checked off too, that's part of learning right?
It was hard to see your lines with the position of the camera. You're doing good running 45s already. There couldn't have been more than a few cars running faster in the entire field. Overdriving corners is easy to do and I was guilty of that when I was starting. I might suggest you try shifting to 4th after Turn 11 and go back to 3rd as you get to 13 if you're comfortable with it. I couldn't tell, but are you getting two downshifts from 5>4 and 4>3 going into 1? I only saw one downshift but I assume you're getting into 5th gear on the front straight.12coBoss said:Finally just watched your video all the way through Gary. So much smoother than I am and I am definitely not hitting your lines either, I am definitely over driving the corners. Here's a video of my fastest lap, didn't expect that to be when someone was riding with me either so ignore all the yapping. I'll have a better mount next time that was a last minute thing that I rigged up.
