Hey guys I'm going to go hang with Brian Frank for a few days. I just booked the flight, arrive at Dayton in 8/12 monday. we'll be at tracquest @ midohio on 13/14th and then on thursday the 15th we are going to Cedar Point for the day. i'm fly back to sfbay on 16th.

if anybody is local at midohio or CP maybe i'll see u guys.

 

ride the magnum at cedar point

 

How's this ITR related at all? Mods?



Have fun at Cedar Point, Frank.

 

because he doesn`t wanna visit an amusement park w/ del sol owners..they tend to be a little on the fruity side lol

i'm indirecting soliciting for ITR's to drive at midohio.

ryan: locash still has my quote of "99% of delsol owners are gay or rice out f*cks.". while i probably went a little extreme on the percentage, i'm afraid i still stand behind that comment... the number is 70+%

lots of ITR maybe pretty boys, but atleast they're pimped out with nifty bling bling parts.

I'm just messing with Frank.

Frank still needs to show up at a Hawaii track day/autox.

Del Sol owners? No comment. I think the guy who cuts my mom's hair has a Del Sol...

 

That's me, except for the pimped out part.

I just spend all day washing and waxing my ITR and driving past high schools to get attention.

 

Hey, I do that, too

Seriously though, Cedar Point freakin` ownz!

Have fun!

Ryan

 

No way, Millenium Force is the beast from hell. Magnum is the old 200ft coaster. Millenium is 300ft and the first drop is unreal!!!!

Frank: See you at the track

 

I haven`t been there in 12 years

 

is that a direct quote at me? LOL


yshi - who may not be pretty, but he blings

 

blinging is all that matters.

 

which one are you in that pic?

 

omgosh, I didn't realize to j00 ax'd. We look like twins - LOL!

yshi - who thinks he's the one standing


For those in the OH area:
if you can make it to this event, try to get Frank as your instructor.

 

umm i was there in March. maybe i'll visit again soon. i love the weather, the beaches, sunset and... cute chicks there. did someone offer to hook me up with their ITR???

maybe i can bug justin to let me check out one of his 640 whp b18c bad boys... too bad the speed limit is damn rediculous there.

 

Magnum is weak. The Mellenium...now thats a rollercoaster. Look at the Magnum in the background of the first picture!

GR, I'll see ya at the TracQuest event! And like they all say...

Millennium Force owz, great first, second, and third hills 310ft, 169ft, and 181ft! Just rode it about a month ago, it's like 3 coasters in one.

well I made it home finally. i've got lots of great pix from the trip. I got to drive both Sean and Kyle's ITR's. interesting handling... they both had more understeer than stock ITR's. but yet both had rear stiff springs (kyle has 8k f 12k r) and sean had 450 f 550 r... i wish i got a chance to try them again on the 2nd day after i suggest tire pressure changes. i got brian's little dx powered civic down to 1:59 on 2nd day. i think i did a 1:55 in kyle's car and 1:56 in sean's, both cars were pushing way more than i liked, but i guess i didn't trail brake well enough. i'm used to a more neutral setup. i probably could've got them down to 1:53 or less if i gone solo in them on the 2nd day as i got more familiar with the track.

my favorite part of the track was... i drove a 2002 911 GT2 for about 10 mins on track! hit 150 mph on the front straight, and did 1:44-45 in lots of traffic. the owner said he thought i was on pace for a 1:41. what a car... it was so easy to drive. i'll post a more complete story and pix later.

ps, the best ride at Cedar Point was the PowerTower going down... Millenium force, not as good as i hoped.

You drove a GT2!!!!! I now bow down to you. So is it worth $183,995?? That is my DREAM car

 

NO!, That is my DREAM car !

 

Frank, since Sean and I made it down to the 1:53's on our solo sessions, I have no doubt you'd have been in the "or less" category

Can't wait to see your pix... I'll try to get some pix and video up soon.

 

Alan said it's about 200k with tax. is it worth it?? well, really depends on the angle you look at it. bang for the buck performance? probably not. an engineering marvel that does everything well? yes. is it that much better than the regular 911 turbo? yes. it is actually much easier to drive for the experieced drivers.

 

How is the Mid Ohio Track?? Is it good?? I really want to sign up for one of there schools, i think it would be fun and a eduactional experience. Thanks

 

yes it's an excellent technical track. it has some elevation changes but not super drastic. their school is expensive but i think i heard it's not bad, they have a whole fleet of RSX-S's. call the midohio school for more info on their proggy. it looks like they give you some car control practice, and then sometimes in this very cool autox style course, then finally you move to the track itself. apparently they don't even use the track until 4:30 pm...

tracquest *might* be out there in oct. again, keep your fingers crossed. if you're looking for a lot of seat time with good instruction, look for TQ. we'll have you up to speed in no time.

 

The Mid-Ohio school is expensive but it's very extensive. It is a very good school. Their fleet of RSX's are set-up quiet nicely and use Progress Group suspension. Calvin Fish and Brian Till (SpeedVision... er uh... SpeedChannel announcers) run the school.
