Back to racing at Loudon Last weekend !!

[palanon]

I know, it wasn't bikes but, it's great to be back at it again.

I worked turn #3 for Saturday and Sunday's COM event.

Here are some picks for the folks that are jonesing to get back to it.

[Kitt]

is that a NEW crack? don't remember it.

[Paul_E_D]

That car is so far offline that everything looks different. I *think* it's the same crack, perhaps opened a touch by frost?

[GixerJockey]

So THAT'S the line through T3???

[palanon]

It's not new. Maybe a bit bigger though.

[palanon]

A couple more.

[SVRACER01]

those guys really cut T3 huh?

[Paul_E_D]

They're going too slow.

[palanon]

Cars take a much closer line at the apex. They still drift way out towards the beach though.

Thats Bergs line through 3

[palanon]

One of my favorite cars. The guy has done a lot of mods. He 'd go sideways up the hill spinning the rear wheels the whole way.

[RyanNicholson]

Something about the idea of going over a rumble strip at the apex of a corner just seems odd to me.... even if they do have twice as many wheels.

[palanon]

You can see where I put the apex cones behind the tires and barrier at the apex. One guy still managed to get close enough to hit one of the cones and throw it out into the line at mid corner !!

Try it on two wheels sometime, it'll wake you up!

[Sheppo]

FAWK...even 4 wheels will knock a filling out hitting those rumble strips...

HA! I hit that rumble strip during a Tony's day. It did more than wake me up!

[palanon]

Here's a little Alfa that actually did pretty well.

[Pittenger5]

You wouldnt happen to see a Porsche 944 with the number 84 on it would you?

[brewmaster]

Do you know the guy? I would be interested in learning what he did to his car.

I'm pretty sure I saw him. I only remember one 944 and it was black.

I didn't run into him in the paddock. You could see some serious suspension upgrades to the car. Huge coil overs, massive sway bar. Definitely your typical engine mods.

I never drove one that handled like that.

Ahh yah, thatsp robably him. He lives in my town, I see his car out all the time, Ive been meaning to talk to him if I see him outside.

I have a softspot for Alfa's

Is this him? He may have been assigned a new number.

[Pittenger5]

Ahh yah, that looks like the car, I might've just had the number mixed up. I saw it today in his driveway. Least I had the 4 right

[palanon]

If it's him, he did pretty good with that car. It seems like the 944's seem to lose the rear pretty easy. He was pretty fast and consistent. He went wide a few times but never lost it.
