Yeah, jason was very fast. Nice work, man!

Now the key is to run those times AND keep the brakes together!! LOL!

Or just convince adam to pony up for the StopTechs, lol.

Can't wait to see the EF out there.

that is true. i need to learn how to drive less violent. it would be nice to NOT boil the brakes ONCE this year. and then maybe adam woudn't have to worry about me putting his car in the dirt too. it made me feel better though. that laura also boiled your brakes in your car on the same lap i did.

this is interesting. keep in mind, the track was was very fast yesterday. the weekend after ALMS with all that rubber laid down. cool with a slight breeze. we had a unfair advantage on these times.

True. On the last run group (the one where i ran 2x 1:45's) i didn't even get a long pedal. It can be done. It is easier on tires too.

Were you there when adam swapped brakes for me? That one pad that I was betting my left ******** on? Still perfect...lol. You owe me one left ********...lol.

we should. but i think dave only buys 1 run group per MPRA weekend. and the other run groups are full of 1. big bore (turbo challenge and big boy porsches), 2. small bore (spec miata, little boy porches, and those weird looking rx7 things), then 3. motorcycles. SCCA takes up the 4th run group.

so i think dave is limited on what he can do.

Beginners can pass, just in designated areas with a point by. It may be an excercise in patience, but oh well.

Well the scca pdx was fun on saturday. The west track still has a few surprises in it (at least for me).

I made a few suspension changes and added a front splitter and ran a couple of 1:40.50's in the am.
