True story...

NASA Check Rider -"hops in the car, sorry to be an asshole but what do you do for a living?"
Me - "Some people got it, some people don't...they told me I'm full of it!"

When are you coming back up to VIR?

Nice, I am as excited for Fat Tire as much as the shit I bought from you. That may mean I have a problem.

It is OK. Follow me on track...I usually run one of the following:

1.) drunk line
2.) drug line (running from cops FAST need practice)

Ask Doc

I am stocking up for the 4 day weekend... Track Daze then BMW CCA. I have a lot of beer so stop by and steal some.

Now I just need to find a way to transport the hookers up there

That's why you should have kept your E90.

kartracer12 · 08-07-2011, 06:53 PM

Martin I hope to still make it. I am mentally recovering from my close call at Summit Point this weekend with BMWCCA. My brakes went to the floor entering Turn 10 at 105mph. I passed the no braking exercise with flying colors.

I didn't check my pads after 1st day and I had about 1/8" left up front for day two. A guy from RRT at that track said I should change to new pads after they get close to 50%.

I did drop my times by 1.5 seconds studying the race keeper data and video.

Hey man nice to hear for you...

Yes, go with the RS3 by Hankook. You will have a lot of success with this setup.

I will be there in the GTR. Are you staying at VIR or in Danville? We may have enough room at the Villa if you want to stay with us...
