[trackbird]

Is the deadline really Oct 9th to register online? Or can I do it Friday night? Or, is it really tonight?

Looks to me that it 12:00 Sunday mourning.

Since I have too much to do and decided that it's not practical to make the Aberdeen, MD event (I'll be there next year, at least once), I talked my co pilot into going to Cincinatti with me. So, Neil and I are both "in". We looked at the classes and dove into SM2 to run the Z06, the 98 Corvette, M coupe and a few other things that might be way faster than us. But we'll have fun and maybe we won't be last.

[Pilot]

I'll have to check the weather and all, and see if I have time to make the trip, but considering I just dropped a class, I need to celebrate. Got room on that tire trailer for some V700s? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Kevin, the results are posted: HERE


I think in another event I would have started beating you again. I lost way more than the .5 sec I ended behind you when I almost looped the car on the last run. Considering what the winning Vette driver had at the gunfight (a cannon) we did not do too badly. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Was Coleman on race tires?

Just curious.

It's nice to see the "ESP" Evo's have moved to SM. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/thumbup.gif)

As slick as that lot was, I'm going to assume so or I think he'd have been very slow.....

The Z06 showed up in a tractor trailer with car hauler (drive on the door, lift the car, pull in the top of the trailer). It was fast and I couldn't afford to catch that car (not that my driving was stellar either). It launched on some type of traction control system (maybe a tweaked factory one?) and was pretty evil sounding.

I just looked and Colemans registration on my auto events.com lists his tires as "Hoosier" and size "huge".

I believe he was on race tires. He was the guy that left towing his tires on what looked like a small watercraft trailer.

Yeah he was debating on a local board as to what he would run.

Actually slicker lots narrow the difference between race and street tires in my experience.

[shortbus]

that Z06 your talking about has traction control like on LeMans cars.. and cross over headers.... 7 liter motor.

no slouch at all.

[trackbird]

I didn't get the specifics, but the car was pretty evil. Oof.

[Mericet]

But not that much faster than us on the day IMO. :leaving:

[trackbird]

As long as you consider 3 seconds "not much". Danny Popp was faster still with less motor.

Well, I look at it like this: If he was the cannon in this gunfight we had some mortars at least. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

I know the vette your talking about I thought it sounded pretty scarey in a bad way. Brad said the guy put over 8 grand in the exhaust itself. Ahhh!!! What!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Anybody watch "Mind of Mencia" ? Then You know the catch phrase!!!

Way to go K and N , Finally a win!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
