The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

[thejeans]

Conti DW's. You can still get the rebate, yes. Talk to Marlon about a conti club invite code.

Like Phen said, DW's for the 3... i LOVE mine, great dry and wet grip and sticky enough to play on winding roads, should get around 20k out of a set (atleast im on pace to hit around 20k with mine)

I just had a funny idea. What if all of us Ohio guys ran for Mazda o' the Month? Any good photographers in here want to volunteer? It would be funny and a friendly competition if all of the sudden there were like 10 cars from Ohio.

HAHAHA, that would be funny!!! if i werent 2 hours away id bring the ol trusty rusty 3 and join in on the fun haha

We May Be Leaving the State

Depending on how the job search goes, we may be leaving Ohio. I know that we'll both hate leaving here, but the opportunities here are quite scarce in my area of expertise. I already have an interview with B of A for a Fraud Analyst II Position in Pasadena, California. On the other hand, I have to take an assessment for Progressive Insurance. I have applied for positions in other states as well, NC and GA. So, we'll see how it goes, moving forward.

That video was really fun to watch, #2! I like how is info for the video is "Me trying to keep up mazdaspeed 3 on slicks. Should have realized I was over-driving the car when I missed the apex on turn 1.".

You can't catch #2, silly BMW owner! He's stupid fast, yO! Mazdaspeed represent and s***, yO!

Good stuff. Awesome seeing #2's car slingshot out of the corners

Best of luck to you. Would be sad to see you go, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

HAHA silly wabbits! I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty damn fast yesterday. But I still have a TON of learning to do. I really just need seat time, seat time, seat time!

We'll be sad to see you guys go! We better still see you at the Mid-Ohio Mazda corral though! Good luck with the job search

if you do get a job and move, i will greatly miss having you around BUT i understand sometimes you gotta go where the money is, and worst case, it just gives me a reason to go see a new city and visit with you guys for a weekend.. GOOD LUCK Marlon!

I was impressed, you did a heck of a job when I was in the car!

That would suck, but make sure you keep us updated. Nothing set in stone yet! Plus, people say that there are other nice places to live besides Ohio? (Not sure I believe it, but I've heard rumors.)

Thanks again for the instruction. Those pointers helped out a lot. It seemed like you had a lot of fun haha

I was browsing YouTube and found a sweet video of a BMW 330ci following me at Mid-Ohio yesterday. He had a supercharger on it and said he was making 400wph. This was the 2nd session I believe so I was playing around with my line trying to get used to the insanse grip from the Hoosiers. It took a few laps to get enough heat in the rear tires before I could really push the car.

The guy's video is simply titled "What not to do at Mid-Ohio" LOL. Skip to about 5:44 to see his last lap

link isnt working for me, is it just my computer being an idiot or does it not work for others as well haha

 

[Evan9999]

It's just you...

Try this direct link instead of the video post http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whuuXHY40QU

I was. It was nice not to have to talk through every corner like I was with the novice drivers.

Also, I need a faster car.

I know where you can find a cheap MSP to build or where to get a race ready one

Haha I'll have all winter to ponder that option.

Tried out the FWD thing, didn't like it all that much.

 

[Kiseliok]
