Wow!! If the surface allows that design, that's going to be one fun, fast track. :twisted:

How does that song go.....

"Driftin' (driftin')
Driftin' (driftin')
Driftin' the day away....."

Take out the slalom; link the south side turns into a decent sweeper.... and you got yerself a great DE track! :wink:

Hat's off to the designer of that one.

I'm looking forward to driving this one, even with the hand-cast still on.

See you all manana.

Wow! That was fast, Bill! These were probably up on the website before some people got home from the event and unpacked!

Looks like a pretty good battle in IS class yesterday, with Steve, Paul Jr. and Dan within 6 tenths of each other, and Paul Sr. another 6 tenths back, with all 4 of them in the top 8 on the BRI!

KI doesn't look as close as I expected--didn't Bill say he's really a KP car? How'd he put such a hurt on Martin and Bob Gagnon? Must have been a 968 kind of track. Where was Jad? Burnt out from the Parade?
Tom Comeau nearly got "double-chicked" by Tami and Jennifer. :oops:

Dan A. must have still been breaking in his new tranny, since he was almost 4 seconds off Erik's TTOD.... :twisted:

Let the excuses begin...

Bill needs to change his posting signature from:

billeye #491
Air-Cooled humbled (just barely) '94 968

to:

billeye #491
Air-Cooled humbling '94 968

Great run Bill, you had the slalom/sweeper complex nailed.

Looks like Bill's website works are as fast as his drivin'! Has anyone mentioned the National Website Award that Bill et. al. were awarded? AND ... let's not forget how well Tami drove. She "chicked" the entire IS class .... Grosekemper included. :oops:

Of course, you'd expect that from a KI car and qualified driver.

IS is rapidly becoming a fun class. Steve G. even had musing of "coming out more often in the '11SG'." Maybe I should slap on a set of 8" and 9" with super-fat RA-1's to better my chances of catchin' Steve and Paul Jr.? :shock:

Paul Sr. most-likely was exhausted from the 4+ years of getting ready for, and putting on one of the best Parades in PCA history. He drove very well and had me all day long. It wasn't until Timed Runs ... 2 Snickers and 2 Pepsi's back to back .... That I was any less than 0.5 seconds behind him. I got lucky on sugar and caffeen!

Fun day, fun track, good times.

Now Tom,go easy on Dan.It wasnt a full four seconds.I think I would say he got "Smurfed" though.
I think a track that fun should get named,maybe "The Best Track Ever" at the stadium and be run again at some point.

+1 w/ Mark.

Fun track, it would be nice to have another run in this configuration THIS YEAR. Any seconds? This was definitely one of the top configs in my brief tenure with the club.

AX Board
IMHO: I'd like to see a few of these configurations archived so we can re-run them during the course of the year. Why do we always change the configurations from event to event? There's definitely a set of 4-6 west side configurations that would work beautifully throughout the year. You can use the southeast lot as the opportunity for artistic development.

FWIW: Great track design!~!!!

by **bibbetson** on Sun Jul 08, 2007 8:53 pm

This track was AWESOME! It had fast, slow, fast on-camber, fast off-camber, tricky braking and quick technical. Yes, this is one for the archives!

They actually do re-run tracks from time to time. Problem is that two tracks never end up quite the same. For Parade they actually used painted dots on the track to ensure we ended up with the same track. Nobody knew for sure how well the dots would hold up. We can't do that for anything but the most special of events.

That said, this track is definitely worth trying a second time!

Great, I'm getting smack talked with my own sayings... :lol:

That track was awesome!. I'll third the same track nomination. I got Smurfed, Clark'd, Ibbetsoned....etc.... :lol:

Also , Thanks to Mark k for the pressure info on my tires, it definately helped turn in...just not quite enough.. :wink:

Hey! I totally forgot about the cast Dan.
Good lesson in delicate steering inputs.
Fantastic drive on your part, especially for a newish 911 driver. You have adapted well to having all that pesky weight out back.
But we all know you steer a 911 with the right pedal, the steering wheel is just so you have something to hang onto.

I had more fun Saturday than I have in a long time... well not including Friday... Or Wednesday... but before that... a long time.
I might even bring my overweight boulevard cruiser cab back out to play next time. Just to keep you IS guys honest.

Once again, great drive Lefty, uh Dan!

by **Don Middleton** on Mon Jul 09, 2007 1:34 pm

Steve, we hope you do...we need to see that again!

by **Bob Gagnon** on Mon Jul 09, 2007 2:01 pm

That video is great Dan.

I don't know how you did shifted so smoothly with that cast on, particularly the shift to 3rd in the slalom.

It looks like you are flat out from the 3rd slalom cone through the right hand sweeper and still manage to keep the car to the right for entry to the left hander at the end of the sweeper.

I could never get the sweeper speed adjusted correctly so I didn't drift out to much to the left side of the track and thus screwed up the entry to that left hander.
