Hmm. Looks like I've got a goal to beat! I'll be there Monday-Tuesday. Curious what a set of fresh Hoosiers will do!
No wonder you have the box truck. How many does it sleep?
Lots!

Huge Miata crowd here with the Audi Club. I think we outnumber the BMWs!

Pete Artsinger in my 1.6 with me in it, on NTO-1's, best time without someone to chase 1:25.8

His best time chasing someone in my car 1.25.1. 5600 rpm at the T11 exit, he told me there's nothing left in the car.

Really nice guy.

Jeff, how could you tell the lap times ? Audi Club does not allow timing :D :D :D :D :D

I believe the "no timing" rule is one of those "rules" that is not strictly enforced; at least 1/3 of the cars there had timers in them.
Besides...you can always have a friend time your laps with a stopwatch... :wink: :sunny:

I am unable to turn off the timing device - it's compulsory timing!

I suppose I could have used duct tape, but the chief instructor didn't have any around 8)
