Coneicide, Pylonitis, Apex Directional Murderer, Orange is not the new Black. You will have to go to Conehead Prison now, haha.

The Yokohamas responsible for the heinous act have been found guilty by an incredibly partial jury of their Hoosier peers, and have been sentenced to death.

Road Atlanta: 1:56. Best I could do. First time at RA. On two year old hand-me-down vintage bias ply Good Year Bluestreaks.

I went to RA for the first time this weekend. Best was a 1:50 in green group. Coming through the bridge into turn 12...isn’t it just crazy? What a pucker moment!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

No problem , just let them know you are actually running Hoosiermama!!

 

[Bill Pemberton]

JP-X --- turn 12 just Depends, ha! Actually that is what some first timers feel they should be wearing for the " Oh Schittz " moment going down the roller coaster to the Wall is like the first few times.

AUTO CLUB SPEEDWAY

First time out at ACS, second track day ever - 1:57.05 according to the transponder. Stock GT350 except for PSC2s.



@PaddyPrix I was wondering whose GT that was on the trailer after the last run.

WSIR (BIG WILLOW)
The first track day, and the one that got me hooked! Stock. Totally toasted the MPSSs on the front by the end of the day. 1:44.02.

2:19.86 yesterday at VIR Full with NASA. Fastest in HPDE1 by quite a bit.

Fast lap first time I went 1.5 years ago was 2:32... then 2:26 with Chin two weeks ago... so I'm making progress. (Easy to do when you're new and slow) And new Goodyear Supercar 3 tires also help a bit.

I'm hooked.

My second time at Autoclub. Cirst time was with a stock car on nt01. (In 2018 Ome of my first ever trackday )
Love the speed here guys.
I definitely have the 43. This was session 4 and huge fuel starvation in t2
I really hope to go back before they shut it down. I doubt tho.
Lots of fun and nice nice friendlyMustang group with Patrick Tom Eric.

Here the video

I wonder what would be without fuel starvation and the mistake after chicane.
But chicame at 123mph felt..intense!

I was at that same event. My first time ever at that track and it was a handful to learn. And still have quite a bit to learn and improve on.

You were parked near me. I'll come say hi next time.
I met lots of nice folks- it was my first NASA event but it won't be my last.

I didn't get too many chances to get a good exit out of 6, but yeah, heh, hitting that flat and with the pedal down is quite a rush, huh?

Newcomers, read AJ Hartman's comments about his first run at VIR. I point this out because many of you know of him and his company producing top notch aerodynamic parts for the Mustang and other vehicles. He comments that it is a difficult track , tough to learn and a real handful is something new Trackmice ( figure you are not a Rat yet, ha ) need to hear. So many new drivers get down on themselves because they feel a track is tough to learn or they are not quite getting the hang of it. Well, here is a statement to take to heart , to give you confidence that we all have the same issue, and the tracks that are the most fun are often the hardest to learn. You just heard Mr. Hartman say he had alot more to learn and it was tough and..............................many of you may know about the cool Aero pieces he makes , but were you aware he is also the NASA American Iron National Champion of 2019!!!

Humble comment, but you need to know we all have this situation occur to us regardless of talent at one track or another.

Thanks AJ for you candor!

Glad my comments were helpful. I've been racing for 11 years now, and still learning. I just finished my video of the weekend (posted below). One of the challenges was with yellows, or black flags, by the time saturdays race came I had 9 green laps around the track under my belt. The race gave me another 7 or 8 green laps. So by sundays race, I felt better, but still had less than 20 laps around the track! Coupled with a weird brake bias issue that wasn't present with hoosiers, but was an issue on Toyos, it was a challenging weekend for sure. And as you mentioned, yes, I won nationals at Mid Ohio in 2019 in American Iron, and set the Ai lap record that weekend as well.
