Lets see, I'll keep it quick.. First of all, it was great to see the usual crowd again, but sorry to not see some guys (Scott, Brinson, ****...ect..) and miss others on the track (Jack, Alex, Phatty.....) We miss you guys..

Car understeered all weekend, eventually worked the rear tire pressures to 45 cold, and that still wasn't enough.. The only thing I changed since the enduro was rear camber, which instead of 0, is now -1.. So I think I am just getting the rear to hook up to much that way.. 1000lb springs in the rear isn't enough, I am going to buy 1200 and see how long it takes to blow the koni's out.. Also ran w/ NO front bar, loved it!

Car was getting faster and faster, as was I.. I am actually starting to like CMP now

I am now an absoulute Toyo fan, the only reason I unbolted a wheel this weekend was to change an axle, and thats it.. Raced on the same tires that were used on the enduro, so they already have 3.5 hours on them.. They seemed to fade less than the hoosiers, but very very slighly, and grip felt very the same.. I never knew some of those corners were so fast!

Brakes were excellent! When Andie said he wanted me to use a different pad other than the DS3000, I was quite reluctant to go w/ it.. I mean, I LOVED the DS3000, but Cobalt's GT-R (VR) (which is not another pad painted ) is nothing short of awesome.. Its much more linear than the DS3000, and even less rotor agressive (which the DS3000 was great at). I will have pics of my rotors/pads soon.. Pads only wore about 25% if that, and the biggest stress crack in the rotor is about a 1/4", not 3/4" like we normally get. All without ducting, no fade at all.. Also ran w/out ABS all weekend, rear brake lockup rules! I used w/ the Cobalt XRF fluid, still unbleed since the enduro...

Both races have tons of stories, from yellow flag incidents, to uprooting 4 pylons in T9 TWICE, catching the "school" of 944s, chad's 4 wheel off pass and more.. Was really a fun time, and can't ask for the car to do anymore than it did.. Thanks to Karl for working so DAMN hard all weekend, and to Andie, Heather, Becky and Nick for helping me all weekend

My track record last year 1:53.9xx
My track record this year 1:52.000 (sunday)

James's car is just sick fast! Keep those axles on
Props to R&D for the hard work on the hatchcraps, both were very fast!
John's car is damn purddy!!!
Robert dropping hella times!

See you guys at Beaver, with the same tires and brakes

 

CMP was a blast and Congratulations to all the drivers, it was a great racing weekend...


R&D ownz

 

So does anyone agree the place is a freaking blast in the rain?

 

Busted Master Cylinders and Axles trackside suck ***. Lugnuts that wont stay seated suck. Car being slow as **** also sucks (massive exhaust leak). Forgetting to cornerweight and align the car is bad too.... Fading pads arent fun...

Another weekend like this and i'll say CMP sucks. But the track itself is so fun to drive, i love the technical sections.

But!!! I had a great time. I saw alot of familiar faces, got to drive most of the time and just enjoyed being at the track. I'm glad i went.

 

That's a damn good review of brakes if I've ever heard one...

Sounds like a good weekend...

 

DARN IT!!! I knew I should have gone...

Awesome job CJ..

 

I missed Becky? ****!

you guys are so funny...

 

I am serious, I don't get to see our sister very often

 

Don't remind me



Seriously, congrats on the sweep, dude. There couldn't be a better guy to shoot for

 

How was the female situation at CMP? Any hotties?

 

[Earning of points]My wife, Tammy was there.[/End earning of points]

 

Corey's sister was there....

 

My girlfriend was helping out at T&S.

I must say, having a girlfriend that doesn't mind you going to the track, wants to come as well, and is willing to help out is AWESOME!!!

 

Yep, they rock, don't they?

Workers rock too!!!

 

Very True!
I found out this weekend.

 

Do I count? hehehe... Probably not huh...

 

Women that "race" get double the 's in my book..

 

Awww, I think you're a hottie Diane.


Matt

 

watch that, she is my sister too...............

 

Nick thought she was a hottie.

I, unfortunately, must refrain from commenting on my customers' sisters, girlfriends, or other female family members.

Congratulations to Corey for his H2 and overall wins on Saturday and Sunday. The races were very exciting to watch. Jason Franza had a great race on Sunday, charging up through the field in a very consistent run.

-Andie

hey man, pretty much everyone is someone's sister... just take it as a complement that you've got good jeans.

 

would those be Lees or Wranglers?


"genes"

sorry, couldn't resist!!

 

owned..... can you tell i'm still suffering from lack of sleep?

edit: maybe it was just thinking "jeans" for a reason
