You going to make it to the B100 this year? Should be BIG FUN this time around. Jeff and I are looking to make up for not even getting to the start line last weekend at the NORC.
and for anyone that might be on the fence about doing an ORR event this is a good one to hit. Great host hotel and the start line is only 2 miles away. Lots of fast cars and good people. |

Being a rookie, I have to go to the practice session. Not sure if they will let me & Ellis make a run after that, but I'd like all the seat time I can get. I'm also doing the shootout. Tho with the open dif I installed to keep it cooler, I don't figure I'll do that well (it smokes the right tire if I drop the hammer at 60 mph). But at least I can find out before the race how the tune I have loaded works at that altitude.

Mark, I don't know how they work it with rookies out there but I would expect once you get the checkride over with, you can run the practice course to your hearts content. The lugs on my FRONT wheels always loosen just a bit the first day of practice. After that, they seem to hold just fine. Take advantage of practice to get comfortable in the car, make sure everything falls easily to hand and that you and Ellis can see everything like gauges and GPS' like you are supposed to. I found an intercom to be invaluable and those battery powered NADY motorcycle intercoms are cheap and work real well. FWIW, I was worried about the heat and altitude as well and it was groundless. That is one reason I will never run a car that doesn't have EFI again. Just make sure your tune is not running lean at the higher speeds and you will be fine. My A4 car ran 157 in the standing mile; Roy Mendles' M6 Lingenfelter SS ran 170 as a benchmark. |
