You have R888 rears and A048 fronts with half tread. You're just asking to spin out, but you ask for that every week anyways

I am very disappointed with my performance today. My best time was a 45.2 and I couldn't get faster times for the life of me. I didn't have an instructor all day and chose not to ask for one, which is probably part of the reason I did so poorly.

I know this is around what Midashands got, but I wanted to beat Rob.

a few shots from yesterday

exarkun1178 · 06-07-2008, 08:55 AM

my best was a 44.3. with r888 up front, i would have been in the 43 i know, and slicks? 42s. guys we are getting better!

exarkun1178 · 06-07-2008, 08:57 AM

ok anyone want to try that free englsh town road course day? they are running it like an auto x one or 2 cars on the track at a time, and you just keep getting in line.

macdady2424 · 06-07-2008, 05:26 PM

Hey how did ED do? Did he have a blast? he

E.D. · 06-07-2008, 06:23 PM

I did have a blast, first time I spun with my Elise, and also the second and third time, the back of my car wanted to be the front

. So new rear tires for me!
But I turned out not to be the cone killer as Exarkun is!

I only managed a 47.0, the slowest of everbody. I promise I will do better next time. Hopefully you'll be there too! Have fun at the Canada GP.

exarkun1178 · 06-08-2008, 10:01 AM

ok now that i have a min. i win a trophy for not once spinning the car! not once this hasnt happened..... ever!

pretty cool. though i under steered through everything!

anyway pretty happy with my new r888s. the older ao48s once warmed up were ok. great event and a fun course. i loved the straights! and note 76mph on the back stright!omg. sure i didnt make the turn.. but still.

cant wait for the next event!

MidasHands · 06-09-2008, 06:15 PM

I'm working on it. Just got done pulling my laptop apart and rebuilt it on the floor/carpet. PC boards are everywhere and I destroyed the case. Something kept shorting out when I typed and I didn't have my user account or bookmarks on my other pc.

Can't wait for my new laptop to arrive (had to send 1st one back b/c they messed up my order). I'm surprise I got this working again. Anyway, lets see if I can sign up now.

macdady2424 · 06-09-2008, 07:55 PM

ok, I don't see this on the schedule. Only think I see this sunday the 15th is from the south jersey region and it's at Camden County College at Blackwood. Am I missing something??? Help????

macdady2424 · 06-09-2008, 07:57 PM

Never mind. I found it. I'm slow.
