Awesome ... I saw them in Va. Beach 10 years ago with The Bloodhound Gang. ICP shot cola out of a tank. Good times!
Edit : I'm tentative for running this week. I'll be running tyro series, and love my Subaru, but with my back healing still 4 hours might be a bit long for me to run on Saturday.

Great fun last night. A single wall scrape will really cost you this round.

In race 2 last night, I rode Wins' bumper all the way to catch otaku & micantony... once I got there I lost it in those double lefthander's, hit the wall and watched them leave. Nothing I could do after that met their draft speed. Those 3 are FAST!
Edit: it wasn't the same without mbobb and pyscho though. It was like watching a gold medal basketball game without Team USA... it just didn't look right, lol.

Sorry, but we had to go test for the new Enduro Racing Series schedule. As it is, so far so good!

Ph1sherDid u guys have boost on or anything in last night's practice? Everything was set up right? Because I have no idea how you guys ran 2:03s, guess I need to get back up to speed since leaving for my vacation
Lots of room to draft on that track. Once I got up to speed I was running 2:04's. The usual people were hitting 2:03's on perfect laps and I know a couple hit high 2:02's. I don't know whether draft was involved on those as they were during practice

I had 60 miles on it going into the night. 2:05's were my average. 2:04's were the good laps. I drafted Wins and Drex for 2:03's.

I was in the same Boat. 2:04's and 2:05's mostly. Car not yet broken in though, so i hope i can get into the 2:03's consistently.
I really need to learn the track though, there's a couple corners i kept doing incorrectly. I could tell because the guy behind me would close right up to my bumper! Right RacingOtaku?

Race 2 was exceptionally fun. I looked in the mirror to see you slam into the wall with 3 laps left, I think. We were definitely catching them fast! I caught up to otaku and mic while they were battling each other and snuck by on the last lap.
I wish I had more time to race. I would join every league we have. Everyone is super nice, clean and good racers. I'll confess, I signed up for another league that claimed to be 'clean', ran 1 of their 3 races and got punted off on the final lap. Needless to say I leaned my lesson and I know where I'll be when I have time and a race is going on.
Btw scarecrow, you keep giving me the big head and its definitely showing. I ran the time trials today on deep least after reading this post and snuck in a 22nd place finish lol

Here's how I ran the track for a 2'02.466. No drafting.
1st u-turn style curve: start braking right at the 100 meter sign soon as you get the car started in the general direction of the exit, 2nd gear to the floor. Hold it to the floor until the first part of the double left hander using a line that goes from the outside to the inside. It sets you up for the double.
1st lefty: at the 50 meter sign let off the gas and cut to the left, right before you kiss the apex, floor it (should still be in 4th gear) and almost touching the outside wall.
2nd lefty: I'm not sure about a braking point. You may have to trial and error it, but you'll need to slightly dab the brakes and cut in to the apex, gassing after you've crossed it. 4th gear is best but 3rd is fine if you're not carrying enough speed.
Fast Esses: out of the 2nd lefty, line up on the left side of the wall. Soon as your about to make contact with the first rumble strip, turn to the right and ride that close to the wall, then back to the left up to the double right.
Double right: this is hit and miss for me. I basically stay on the outside until I get close to the 50 meter sign, Brake to 3rd gear and floor it once I get close to the inside apex.
Long sweeper: coming out of the double right, get to the right side of the track. Right before you get to the start of the rumble strip on the left, let off the gas and use throttle control in 3rd or 4th. Once you see the 3rd set of comes in the right wall floor it to the next set of esse curves.
Esse: line up on the right side. Right before you get to the first left you'll notice 2 sets of pedestrian cross walks. Right as you're passing the 2nd set, brake, but just enough to get into 3rd. You'll want to ride up on the flat spot close to the wall and as soon as you get off that, let off the gas until you get right at the apex, then floor it while turning. I keep it in 3rd gear coming out to reduce wheel spin.
Last lefty: come in at a small angle towards the rumble strip on the right. Brake at the 50 meter sign and cut hard left. Not like your doing the Harlem shake, but in a smith motion. Get as close to the barrier as possible and floor it. Should put you right at the end of the apex on the right side. I leave it in 3rd but I never tried 2nd.
Finish line: women (or men?) and alcohol for everyone!!!!
If this helps let me know. Or if any of it confuses you, let me know and I'll try to explain it better.

This is great wins.Shaving off time every practice session with your help. Guides like this and the replay from practice makes a big difference..
Also I may be the only one who's forgot, but don't forget to check your oil before the race.Since break in I've only put 245 miles on it and it had already dropped to 198 hp.
Thanks everybody, racing with you gentlemen is the best.

That's what I was thinking about this morning.I know in the 11 lap practice race there was 1/4 tire wear.Might make it halfway before having to Pitt but I'm just not sure.
I'll run enough laps tonight to know a sure answer..
I don't think turtle town is reserved tonight. I'll be there about 9:30 if you want to come an run some laps.i really need work running with another car too.
