Hey Guys,

mikey and DJ Qube, the room was just under $42. divided by three, that's $14 each. can you guys just reimburse me at the next time we're at the same event? thx.

speedventures just updated the info on their next event - 11/15 at Buttonwillow again. this time in the clockwise configuration, with the back straight open. that means 120 mph + on the back straight!!!!

I've driven it CW and CCW with the back straight and it's faster CCW. Going CW on street tires I got to ~113 before braking for Riverside; I did 120+ before braking for Cotton Corners going CCW. I wasn't as experienced then, though; I'd guess that 118-120 is possible CW, and 125-128 CCW, again on street tires.

The R-compund guys will definitely be seeing 5th gear, though.

I hate you. :-)

See you at the 11/15 event with some more scrubbed in tires and a little more knowledge of the track (I've run the west loop clockwise before). Got to get to 2:20 or better before I go swaybar and bigger tires.

I've signed up for the 15th already. I'll be doing Laguna on the 2nd too. I hope I have some rubber left...

A belated thanks to John and his crew for the great day. In spite of the bogarted first yellow session, I still got plenty of .

And it was awesome to see the s2000 escort team on the way home, through the grapevine and all the way into my turnoff at the 5/405 split.
