Nice meeting you and Rick. You guys are providing a service that is rare and appreciated by all of us. The videos can definately be used as learning tools, especially the in-car vids!

As always, anything I can do to help, just ask. A paypal donation is on the way...

TSCC put on a great event. Great course, perfect weather, and well run. Kudo's! Now if I could only find some real horsepower, that course would have been even better!

Yeah, I remember. Looks like you figured out the full-throttle-when-loose thing!

Sentra is a work in progress. This was only the its second outing on the new suspension and we have our work cut out for us. It wasn't driving very well on Sunday.

The suspension is 400# at each corner (that's about 550# for you Honda folk) and double adjustable Konis. I haven't touched the shocks (still at full soft) yet, we're working out the alignment now.

Man pics and videos help alot!!!!!

I was looking at some of the pics from the last two events and you can see my rear tires folding. I have played with the pressures up higher but the car got loose. Well they say loose is fast I may have to bump the rear pressures and drive it. I think I may start left foot breaking on faster courses. To try and keep the RPM's up higher at exit. Oh well I'm not happy with my time from Sunday just glad I was able to run.

Thanx again to all who work so hard to take these pics and vids!!!

Great job on the videos! Seems like the camera shots were really consistent between cars, good vantage point allows you to see the different lines people were using. I had a blast, I really enjoy courses like that where you have to do some thinking if you wanted to go fast. Seemed to reward patience and smoothness, I didn't have to grab my car by the scruff of its neck and shake it to death like I usually do. I learned quite a bit by working down at the far end, watching how people were taking the big S onto the backstraight and seeing how early some were getting into the gas. I got windows playing and synched up my video with Ed's... interesting to see where where we made up time on each other. Ed really slaughtered me through the left hander after the slalom where I was coasting on entry, not sure whether or not to get back on the gas and risk screwing up the exit line which I thought was fairly important. Giving up THAT big of a chunk of time there, I think there had to be something I could've been doing better. I think maybe I should've braked a tad less and carried more speed in?

I had problems with that, too. I was so happy that I made it through the slalom without lifting that I stopped looking ahead and gave the speed up. Oh, well.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEOS!!! I appreciate the effort tremendously.
