piknockout · 08-03-2007, 04:00 PM

To each their own I guess. I'll put my flamethrower away for now.

TTsupra911 · 08-05-2007, 08:30 PM

Just completed my registration for the DC event. Now I gotta figure out if I'm going to drive down Saturday night or leave early Sunday. Either way Josh and Aaron I'll see you two on Sunday.

psushoe · 08-05-2007, 10:21 PM

Nice! Gonna be a fun day

piknockout · 08-06-2007, 09:49 AM

I kept checking to make sure you two got it. I promise you guys are going to have an absolute blast! And Adrian, if you want to meet up with us around Columbia and follow us down let me know.

TTsupra911 · 08-06-2007, 10:50 AM

Yeah I'll just meet you two in Columbia. Josh just shoot me a PM with where you want to meet up and what time I need to be down there.

piknockout · 08-06-2007, 09:02 PM

FYI, the D.C. event this weekend will be held on the same lot as the D.C. Pro Solo. This lot has more elevation change than the one that is usually used, which should make for a more interesting course. I also think the lot is a tad bit smaller than the lot that's usually used, but I think will be more interesting with tons of camber change and more hilly.

psushoe · 08-06-2007, 11:16 PM

Ooo, that's going to be awesome! I remember walking that pro solo course(s)... something else to learn about

piknockout · 08-09-2007, 01:47 PM

TTsupra911 · 08-09-2007, 02:13 PM

I'm really looking forward to getting down there. Funny part is that it isn't bothering me knowing that I need to wake up at 4:30 on Sunday to get down there...

piknockout · 08-09-2007, 02:16 PM

Well, you'll be done early so you can head back pretty early and take a nap. It'll be worth it.

TTsupra911 · 08-09-2007, 02:38 PM

^ exactly what I plan on doing

TTsupra911 · 08-13-2007, 09:35 AM

So yesterday I woke up @ 4:30 to go down and run with the DC Region @ FedEx feild. I had a great time once again and the experience gained due to the off camber corners and elevation changes was great. With the Philly region you are usually able to see the majority of the course from one spot, not so with the DC Region

. Made it interesting not being able to see the next gate at times until 20' before you crest the hill.
I personally had a heck of a time getting any sort of traction out of my tires by the end of the run. The Azenis where just to hot and would not grip. This is mostly due to the off camber corners. My passenger side tires where both extremely hot, while I couldn't get my driver's side rear to heat up at all. My quickest run ended up being a 45.2, but I coned it away at some point in time and stood on a 46.x.
Both Josh and Aaron placed respectivly in their classes, although Josh will still claim that he drove slow. Josh thanks again for inviting me down, I'll have to try and make it down more often.

piknockout · 08-13-2007, 11:21 AM

BTW, results are now up.

http://solo.wdcr-scca.org/results/20070812.php

Glad to see that you and Aaron made it down. It was a little shorter than the typical Fed Ex courses though, which was a little unfortunate. Usually the courses are in the high 50 second range instead of the low 40 second range. But definitely still a very fun course. You gotta love all the elevation changes, makes for an interesting course. Video will be up tonight.

Best run was a 44.2xx, good enough for 2nd in STX out of 11. My fastest run was a 43.8xx, but hit a mysterious cone, and then continued to go slower on each subsequent run. But most importantly, I was able to get a 4pt. advantage in the season standings after the event. The guy I was tied with for first came in 5th yesterday, so I've got some breathing room. I still need to win at least one of the next two events to come close to clinching the season, so I've got some work to do still. What's nice about our class this year is that nobody has won 1st place twice this year, and yesterday's top 6 were within 0.6 seconds. Definitely a nice competitive class.

And congrats to Aaron on his 3rd place SM finish out of 16 drivers. Adrian, you're only a set of R-compounds and a little more experience away from beating him. Trust me, he's not that good.

psushoe · 08-14-2007, 07:00 AM

^^ Lol, thanks for the vote of confidence, Josh. I had fun, and I'm glad I pulled a top 5 finish. I could have broken 41.x if I hadn't screwed up that last run. I pulled a 42.0 while completely over driving a few sections. Oh well, next time

piknockout · 08-14-2007, 08:04 AM

Ugh, I watched the video last night and I left tons of time out there. Watching my third run, I was totally on point and it would have been my money run...except for braking late cresting at the hill after the lane changes and going off course. If I hadn't botched that I think I had a mid 43.xx that would have pulled out the win. Oh well, better luck next time I guess.

psushoe · 08-14-2007, 11:42 AM

There's the could'a would'a should'a. We need to stop doing that
