Hey everyone I'm Eric Davis. I was at the autox today in little rock. #77 silver ap1 in STR. Got to talk to a few of you. You guys did some good driving today. I hope you guys can make some more events next season.
Hey Eric, it was nice meeting you too. Pretty sure you took the cake in the S crowd, we did have a pretty tight competition with 4 or 5 of us! Woulda been nice if it was a lil warmer...roughly 20 degrees warmer woulda been good haha but a fun time none the less. And now time for the picture whoring, sorry Stu, apparently I was always running fairly close to you and didn't catch any shots of you.
Heres 4 of us in the paddock area, had a total of three Berlinas and three silvers out there later joined by another Berlina and Tiffany and James to watch/ride/root us on
In the grid
Danny
Al trying to keep his back end behind him...unsuccessfully haha
Heres Abide on track
Erik out showing us how its done
And heres me pushing her thru a corner and then squatting across the finish
yea eric is damn good at this shiz. i need to have him ride with me a few times next year so he can give me some pointers. i had everything but that first big hairpin down fairly well, but i ****ed it up big time EVERY time. anyways, it was fun until the chaos ensued, and nice meeting all of you.
Good times guys, nice to have met all of you and look forward to the next one....Yea, hopefully it wont be so cold and I can get a bit of traction...but it's always good to have a chance to get out there n push the car around.
yea, i had a blast out there. i usually lay down some pretty fast times but that cold weather really got too me. i ended up with alot of spin-outs and some missing cones.
but it was great meeting all new faces!!! i hope to see you all soon in the next season or when it is warmer out.
on this track, i felt that the higher gearing was not what i would want. on the last event, the gearing was perfect. on this track i wanted to stay in 1 in some of the corners, but i found myself bouncing on the rev-limiter, forcing me to shift. the gears are great when the cones are set up for them. i think that if i had stock gearing, then my times would have been better.
Thats the only thing bad about gears. Though to me yours are the perfect setup for NA. If you bring her with us to the next MSR I think you will find great appreciation. The 4.77s I had caused me to have a love hate relationship. Loved the quick acceleration hated the tiresome shifting that ensued. Thats why I ended up dumping mine in the long run and going FI. Either way bring her down to a road course were she can stretch her legs and you will see a different animal with them
