Turn2 at ORP was amazing this past weekend. Clockwise on Saturday, counterclockwise on Sunday. My first time there, and it's a very technical and rewarding track.. even moreso when you remove being able to use brake markers when running in reverse direction.
Tom ran a great event, no incidents, great track, friends, and memories. Expect some pics will show up here son. My cam was not working well. |

I have to agree with Larry. It was a phenomenal weekend: Awesome track, light traffic, good friends to play with and perfect weather. Can't wait to go back next year!
Here a couple of videos. First one is from inside the car and the other one is playing with some friends in a GT3RS and e92 M3. Enjoy!

Here's my latest attempt at the Ridge. This was taken back on June 29th. Here you'll see me chasing and trying to keep up with a Z06 but a slower red car (BRZ I think) got in the way.
The best time I did was a 1:57 |

The Oregon PCA has a two day event at ORP coming up July 27, 28. Standard HPDE on Saturday and open lapping on Sunday! I am thinking I will make it out Sunday. I am planning to have the new side exhaust finished for this event. I hope it sounds good as it is going to be loud!

I just got conformation that they will run clockwise on Saturday and counterclockwise on Sunday. This is a great opportunity to run the two best tracks in the northwest!

How was the 26th? My days are few and far between right now but I just signed up for the BMWCCA Sept 6th day and I'm debating between Sept 13th and 25th for a second date in September. I really wanted to get a BBK for that month but it's just not in the cards this year. |

Its all just a matter of practice and seat time, you'll get there too! the 26th was a bit so-so, for some reason I was dead tired that day so I was pretty beat up by the afternoon and had to leave early. Couldn't get below a 1:58 however my NT01s are also pretty shot now (8 days on them) and I think with a fresh set of BFG R1 I can dip into the 1:55-56 range. |

But the question is how much would a set of r-comp tires bring down my overall lap times? (on average) 4-5 seconds? More, less? Curious what folks have experienced when finally making the switch to a dedicated r-comp track only tire. I think I'm about ready to make the switch when these are worn out. |

yep 2 seconds... remember its a slippery slope though. once you get to r-comps you never want to go back to street tires... Its like an addiction with no cure.

Its different I feel also. It may take a good amount of time to be able to really get to the limit of the new tires. I've experimented quite a bit exceeding the limit and working the nt01s to find the proper way to use them. They won't give you audible warning your perspective out the front window will just change so be careful. Race seat will help connect you.

Makes sense, thanks guys. The lack of an audible warning is worrisome. I like being able to hear a little squeal when they are approaching the limit.
Btw - the rs3's got pretty greasy towards the latter (warmer part of the day). But I always felt in control...just a bit slippery when they got overheated. |

I'm in the same spot as you (I'm on NT 05) and decided I want a BBK before R-comps, which will happen next year for me. I also have about 6 days of tread left for now but next year I'm thinking strongly about jumping on the NT01 bandwagon.
