Get a room!

[Charlie Hayes]

I paid for Laguna.

[Dan Cooper]

Ill be there all weekend, but unfortunately spectating.

We have rented the car for group 5/7 both days (gotta pay for the festival weekend somehow)

If anyone needs a hand with anything (eating steak, drinking extra beer you have laying around etc...) just give me a shout.

And of course, if anyone is feeling a little under the weather before a race, ill bring my gear.

[Ron Alan]

No racing for us either...but I'll be down to hang out! I'll bring food and cook Sat with the Coopers...who's in?? Dan...we can race pit bikes up to the cork screw...i get the 50!!

[Juan Pineda]

I'm in. Both ITA and SMT.

I had Evil Genius built me a really nice exhaust system with a removable secondary muffler for Laguna. Curiously the car dynos better with the Laguna muffler -- about 1ft-lb more torque, same peak HP. I've heard similar from two others.

Ron: Glen and I are up for joining the BBQ. We will bring extra food to throw into the pot luck.

See everyone there!

I'll be there. Missed the first race due to school, it will be good to get back in the car again.

Hope to see you guys out there.

[Alberto]

I'm registered as well. See you guys there.

[SCCA_Racer]

I will be there too.
I will be trying out my new Rumble Strip Racing Lap Timer. Hopefully I will be able to get some good data as to when I am having a good lap versus a bad during practice and qualify.
See you guys there.

Weekend recap...

Saturday the car was pushing a ton so I made adjustments to fix it and by the SM race at 430pm on Saturday I finally had some oversteer. Maybe a little too much to get used to in the race but it was fine. Tossed that race out the window in turn 11. Started 13 overall and ended up 18th overall or something.

Sunday I was now settled in to the car and now focusing on the places where it mattered most for me. 6, the entry to the corkscrew, and 10. I feel like I learned how to the take the corners through out the day, I just haven't found the guts to do what the guys up front do through them. Started 13th overall ended up 6th overall.


All in all great weather, people, racing, and fun. I thought it was a good ice breaker for me and racing at laguna. Glad to see that Darin came through after all his problems with 3 wins for the weekend. Sorry to see the few cars that got wrecked in the last group 5 race. Hope everyone can get things up and running again!




Need to learn to slow down a tad more for 11. The drifting is fun but it gets old when you slow down on that huge straight.....

[Ron Alan]

Nicely done Charlie! You've come a long way in a short period. Very clean racing and car control

[dp35]

Thanks for the kind words Charlie, and congrats on your progress. I like the way your camera captures the true audio gnarliness of going 2 off in T6 - BAM!

We definitely suffered the new car blues & just plain bad luck on Saturday, and it seemed like that trend was continuing at the start of the first race Sunday morning. But then I got some good luck & finally got more used to the car. Glad to end the SSM dominance. Thank God I didn't end up in a drag race with one to the stripe like Phil did on Saturday... Happy to win, but not thrilled to be significantly slower than the old car and inconsistent too.

I'll post some video once I figure out how to edit it from a new camera.

[Juan Pineda]

Nice drive Charlie! Good saves in T11. I think I remember noticing that and hoping you'd out do yourself. This is going to be a fun racing year.
