Sorry for my error in pming Rd 1. Will read entire thread and try to remember what I read.

Reverse is backwards, right.

Yes, reverse is backwards.

 

[oldmodelt]

Yes, reverse is backwards.

Might be fun to try it while backing up though.

(IMO) This car even on N3's still handles better than most cars do on S3's.
For example, the Elan's stock suspension/handling is still better than what I've managed to get out of the fully tuned Toyota Corolla GT-Apex '83 which I'm currently running in the WHHC. Whether it's because I'm not great at car setup, or the little Lotus really is just that good I'm not too sure.

Time Submitted.

Having a nice time on this track. One more go before deadline. A replay from a past race run by RacerPaul. Yes it's forward and not in a car. But 3 of the series current drivers participated in this one I think. If posting these occasionally is not acceptable to the race organizer just tell me. Otherwise enjoy. A few more clicks and I'm well on my way to a millon views.

Ah yes, good times, good times.

( No problem here with interesting and relevant vids or photos,

your fearless leader ).

I always enjoy TT replays more than GT4 replays, especially the handebar views.
Still have the first pic you posted for that round T?

 

[oldmodelt]

Still have the first pic you posted for that round T?

Yes I do.

Time submitted. My guess is that I could have lower it a second or two more. But tomorrow is my 23rd anniversary and the little woman for some reason stills like to have me around.

A picture from our last trip out to SH's state. San Diego to see our middle son's MCRD graduation. Click on the link in my sig for me to make big advertising bucks.

Well, you are rather tall, maybe she needs you to reach things in the top cupboards ? 💡

Congratulations on the Anniversary 👍

I have finished my run,very enjoyable despite killing myself umpteen times at the first chicane

I must admit I agree with shotamagee about the Elans handling, truly impressive.
Hope everyone is enjoying things as much as I am.
I should have the results up pretty soon after deadline as I have a free morning.

Good Luck all !!

Time submitted. Seattle isn't one of my favorite tracks, but this combo made for an interesting challenge. 👍

I just sneaked my time in to you about 2 minutes before the deadline. It seems you added the results table 33 mins before the deadline!
You have a PM from me timestamped at 3:58PM (PST) which is 11:58PM (GMT)
I've been racing against the realtime GMT clock trying to shave off a few more 1/10ths!
Sorry for buggering up your results table, but I arrived back from holidays yesterday afternoon, having driven a roundtrip to Seattle of 1690 miles (all bar 5 of them with the Miata's convertible top open! ) in 5 days and caught 4 They Might Be Giants shows! Only had a few hours to run this today, but happy with my lap. NTSC replay available or a YouTube video could be prepared if anyone needs to see it.
I'm off again on Wednesday for 3 days, heading south as far as San Diego, and will be giving the Porsche a chance to stretch it's legs down there. Hopefully the Targa panel will remain in the boot for the duration of that trip too!

Wait, where's the results table?

 

[Cedar]

Oh, wow I'm quite the moron today... disregard that last post.

Indeed. You're persistently double-posting despite being told not to and given a link to the FAQs which explain post-editing and Multiquoting. Pay attention and stop doing it. Thanks.

G'Day all,

I am afraid I miscalculated the time difference between local and GMT because I did not allow enough for Daylight Saving Time

My brain freeze allowed 10 hours difference instead of 11 and I rushed in to post results quickly and did not check sufficiently.
My apologies
I can only offer the excuse I was tired from staying up to watch the F1 Race.....another disappointment for me, I mean really, does the Red Bull team sit around thinking up new ways to do Mark Webber over ?

Anyway, results updated, and did'nt we get a shellacking !!
Well done smallhorses.
On to Round 3.

I'd had a request from Cedar by Visitor Message, for a replay of my lap for this round. I figured I'd post it here for everyone's benefit. 👍

​

Apologies for the poor quality, I don't know why my camera constantly changes it's lighting when it refocuses and leads to the black areas at the top & bottom of the display.
