Default VIR weekend. Just wanted to say

It was my pleasure to meet such a nice bunch of people. I had a crazy amount of fun during and after. There was definitely some funny stories over that weekend.

the guys i went down with(bookler, christian, matt D., Dave Triano, Lance of course)

all you turkeys....you guys rule.

Jeff

PS.

i wonder if there are any photos of my 4dr sideways out there? i owned turn 3 all but once and that started with oil all over the track and went from 90degrees and 180 back and dropped to 2nd gear to pull out. I did the same thing at whatever number that is at the uphill sharp right downhill...like around 13 or something like that. anyone have any photos of my grey 3g teg 4dr number 86 please share them

truely had a blast

Don't have any photos of your car on the track, but many thanks for letting me borrow your 2nd helmet.

No pics, but I was sitting right at the fence watching. I looked over and asked "How the hell did he manage to do that?" Not knowing at the time that there was oil down. Quite a feat for the parade lap! Excellent save!

Yeah, that oil was not fun... I definitely kicked my rear out in T1 right where the oil trail started... at least none of us went off the track as a result. the bastard who left all the oil managed to coat the entire track...

Tell me about it. Lord you'd think they can keep their cars together. It seems like everytime SCCS get's out there, by the time they're done, they've either got oil or other assorted fluids out there. Not fun at all!!

Default Re: VIR weekend. Just wanted to say (Willard)

it wasn't making the turns. it was coming out of a corner at the highest speed possible that brought out the dragger in me. especially 17 going into the straights. Those people in novice i guarentee hated me. I made them use their left arm and index finger more then they wanted to. I want to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible"as far as my capabilities will take me". I'm not the type that will only go 6/10ths. If that were the case i shouldn't even try. I was surprised with the "just ok" setup i was using that i could pretty much get the inside rear to lift on the fat 4dr. Hopefully i can put forth the same or better effort in turning as i did in the gold teg. I'm already eyeing a car to build.(be it me or more then likely to begin with someone else driving the car i put together)

oh. and thank you to
my instructor Brian
Dave again for standing in as my instructor(black e30 who placed 2nd in small bore)
matt Dudek for taking me out in advanced(your insane)

most important. thanks elyse

a few funny stories.....

3 guys at the hotel we stayed out (inkeeper west) walking drunk through the drive through of mcdonalds next door. walking up and saying. "can we get 3 McNasties please"

same 3 guys, me, lance hanging out and 2 riceboys pull up to talk. one in a turbo older thunderbird and other in a civic. one of the 3 guys starts the conversation by telling them he has a dual stage d16 noz turbo or something like that. me saying i'm using a 13b ran transverse in my integra. on and on and on. and all they did was say...."thats so cool. really? wow."

Hmmm, nope, but I did remember parking behind one during the all-hands meeting on Saturday. You are dark-skinned guy with nearly bald head? I'm white-skinned skinny guy with nearly bald but technically should be bald head and an ECHC shirt on. Nice to met you!

I was probably the dark skinned guy with the practically bald head driving the grey 4 door. I was just parking Lip's car for him while he registered.

Lip is the dark skinned guy with the full head of hair. His five o'clock shadow starts at noon. Back at the Innkeeper, I caught him shaving from his eyebrows downward.

You're more than welcome.....

There's nothing better than watching someone getting hooked on this stuff. And watching a straight liner turning corners is the icing on the cake.

Hope to see you out more often--- WIVES AND KIDS ARE MOE THAN WELCOME.
