currently no but mon and friday usually have good groups in practising, if those groups want to run the race program for practise that is not a problem.

brian womped on us.tq and first

first points race was pretty fun, worked hard to get around and through traffic. Looks like we need to do 5 for mains as 6 was a bit too cozy, lost a touch of the battle though traffic was a blast.

results here: http://jlapracemanager.com/cgi-bin/J...ATE=11_07_2007


Phil was not tq so he should lose a point and brian gain one, next build should fix that.

i actually do not think you are capable of not talking. But you did drive well. and got through the traffic with least amount of issues, which is much easyier said then done.

Now lets see who can do it for the whole season.

Thanks for the compliment, I think. Should I take that as a compliment?

Well, I think you right about the talking part. I also think my stomach will agree as well. When I'm hungry you guys will know it.

I look forward for the upcoming races and season. I predict it will be a close running between Andrew, Sandy, Phil, Mike, and Myself.

I also had a lot of fun, and look forward to the close racing this season.

I absolutely love the fact that the track will change every week giving us different looks and opportunities. So we will see who can adjust and adapt the best. (both on the track and verbally.)

Sorry Sandy for the Lost lap.

Overall I think well other than i gotta start to slow down when i'm about 4 centimeters from another car.

Next week goal: Wait for cars if i mess them up.

Thanks for a great race.

Thats part of the problem, 4 centimeters is too late. When you pass a slow car, thats easy you get your angle and your gone. The hard pass is passing another fast car, you may have to turn back the pace for a lap or two till they mess up or you get a clean passing angle. You can't just hit them in the first corner you catch them. Early in the race when you were trying to lap me you hit me in three corners in one lap! The otherside of that is you hurt yourself each time and were not able to go by. Finally I went high at the start finishline and you went under me correctly for the pass.

The other one the first corner you get to me you hit me clean in the rear bumper and put me over the wall losing three corners of the track and facing the wrong way, By the time I get back to that corner you are coming around to lap me again, thats not cool. You need to see your error and wait for me to get back to where I was then you continue. Even if it costs you the race with the other cars, thats the correct thing to do.

The other thing you need to keep in mind is your car is a half a second a lap faster then some of the other cars. On a track with 7 second laps a half a second is huge. So you are able to pull up on and past cars very fast, you need to realize this because the difference in speed will cause issues passing in its self. Yes I and several others could switch cars and the racing would speed up alot but thats not going to help anyone. I like it the way it is.

None the less I enjoyed the evening and look forward to the next.

Keep in mind that you're not the only one racing in the main. Try not to be selfish, and use common courtesy. It takes a while to learn how to slow down if your starting to lap cars, and it takes even longer to learn how to pass, but just try and remember to always wait if you take some one out....I know I forget some times, but if it really seems as if I REALLY did it than I usually wait.
