Any good videos of IMS (in SM)floating around? would be nice to get a little help, throw me a bone. The stuff ive seen on youtube is crap. I heard some of you guys already drove the track ahead of time, kinda jealous, kinda hoping you and you hook us up some with some footage, link it or send in a pm. Thank you

Somehow I got relegated to the "B" qualy after the 1st day of qually...

I started 5 races in Super Tour all new tracks for me with a new car to boot... 

3 top 20 finish and 2 top 10 finish...

Nola

Cota 

The Glen

 

Finish on podium in a Major race in the Northeast..

 

Third place in points regionally having missed 2 weekends of racing.....

 

Being my second Run-Offs for me, I will not have the jitters as I had last year..This will be my second full year of racing...no pressure just going to have fun, race hard and clean. I have a cheater car from ESR and a great coach in Hille....doing some last minute prepping and going out Sunday to test the car and get some last tips coaching from Elivan before heading up to indy. I will be racing on Friday and you can take it to the bank.

 

I think Collin's predictions were a bit skewed, and off the mark.  Good bait, but I'm in no position to bite.  Based on your car and coaching...I'd put you in the top 44...and a few others that weren't included.  Some were clearly listed in "B" to annoy them...Smack Talk!

Don't listen to Mike. He is just a meanie and doesn't know what he is talking about!  I believe in you

Let the haters be your motivators! If you're having a good year keep it rolling. 

Side note: How much does it cost to get Danny to post for you on MazdaRacers? Is it cheaper than a full press release? LOL. 

[Danica Davison]

Ok so we now know who is going to win. (Obviously Erik Stearns)
 
so who is going to: 
 
Wreck In Q: Kicera and Stearns
 
Wreck in LCQ:  Danny Steyn
 
Blow a trans:  On the track: Mike Collins.  Off the track:  Mark Gibbons
 
Have wheels come off:  Physically, Andrew Charbonneau. Mentally, Rossini after he changes Danny's motor after every test day session
 
Smoke a motor: Hopefully nobody!
 
Get DQed:  Jesse Singer
 
Get penalized for contact: There will be too many casualties to put blame on just one person for it.
 
Put 8 quarts of oil in their engine. I don't get it. I thought it already held 8 quarts?
 
Be official DFL:  Whoever loses in the tech shed
 
Take out more than 3 cars:  Well since Yiannis isn't entered ... I am going to go with Astacio because he is fired up after being put on the B list by Collins
 
Cause a double yellow:  Astacio when he does the above^

Down to "shorter " lists...  And starting to load up the trailer tomorrow

 

Hopefully no one will need them, but we will be bringing race rebuilt transmissions, 99 and vvt engines,calipers, knuckles and hubs to seel should anyone need them

[sentercut]

Man, I hope i don't need any of that stuff, especially another engine.

 

See you jacklegs in a few days!

[Steve Scheifler]

If you win one of the less desirable awards early, I can deliver a very good and almost new '99 build and a definite overdog 1.6.

That is a very nice offer. But then we would have to pay you for all the body damage that your car gets in turn 1! 

 

Anyone else see the F1 race this weekend?

Looks like haldeman turned it on today!

Yep but only one of the guys he beat at VIR was there today... His time also was better by nearly two seconds to anyone that tested yesterday!  The real test group will be tomorrow and sunday IMO... it will be interesting to see what those that have been there a couple months back can do in their first day with the one new turn.

WE all know Drago's capabilities. I was highly impressed by Drago and Kicera last year at Grattan. First time at track for either and Grattan would be a tougher track to learn by far IMHJ without me ever turning a wheel at Indy.

Never been to grattan, but indy can be learned in two test sessions IMO.  Jim has driven Indy a month ago, as has hille, pardus, and some others... tomorrow will show if 3 days there a month ago holds any importance at all, my guess is not much if any.

FYI,

1 T3 4A Lamb 1:54.828 -0.951 1:54.828 10 125.63 58.956 22.908 32.964

Not suprising, it will be interesting as others who have very strong t3 cars test tomorrow and sunday. Be nice to see him win a t3 and SRF3 title!

SM 44 Kicera 2:00.779

SM 112 Pogorzelski 2:06.153

 

So back marker around lap 20 ? Or maybe that time won't make the cut.

Too early to speculate that. I predict 1:58s by Thursday with names, practice, track and weather. It's a 19 lap race and only 72 will start, but then there's the field stretch-out issue...
