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

[Evan9999]

Has anyone purchased their tickets for the EMCO Gears Classic at Mid-Ohio on June 8-9?

Here's a link for the Mazda Owners Car Corral.... http://www.midohio.com/Store/Tickets/Event-Tickets/EMCO-Gears-Classic/EGC12-Mazda-Car-Corral-Advance

It says Advance ticket pricing is available through Friday May 4th....which is this Friday! I don't remember seeing a thread or anything about this. Does someone want to make one and sticky it? I can make a thread, but I don't believe I have the sticky ability (lol sounds gross)

All I saw was a boat race...

But that was great to see!

Seriously! It was a shame they cut the race short though. Did anyone catch what happened to the SpeedSource car? They were in the top three, pitted, then immediately re-pitted and ended up in like 15th? What was the reason behind the second stop?

The Speedsource car had an off if I remember correctly?

Blah blah blah I kept screwing up and I need some work with using rcomps, that's for sure and a tune would be nice. Oh wellthere is plenty of time before the next event June 3rd

Won my class yesterday it was the battle of the street tires since the other drive forgot his lugnuts at home and couldn't use his brand new Hoosier A6's.

Thank you everyone for the B-Day wishes!

Weather looks like it's going to be great in Columbus all week.

I thought you was coming up to Perrysburg to run at the NWOR SCCA event #1?

 

[Josue6WGN]

Sound quality is crappy, but you guys get the point. lol

 

[eprx799]

Porsche sounds pretty cool, I love to here it running down the street @ WOT

I did that was me with the Black Miata in CS #99, I am running it a few times to get the MSM discount since they are getting picky about results.

I have a longer vid of it at higher RPM's, shoot a few flames out. hahaha

It's not loading for some reason though....fail.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Flames @ 0:34. hahahaha

Looks like someone needs some more seat time in a manual or get someone who can drive a manual in there.

 

[Josue6WGN]

Nah....looks like a car running around with open headers and every light on the dash on due to all the things that are unplugged. It's not exactly in "top running condition" in this state.

 

[subspeed6]

Ahhhh gotcha. At the end of the video the car seems to idle just fine so I was wondering.

 

[Josue6WGN]

That was after that hold of about 4K RPM's (seemed much higher with how loud it was). You can hear how heavy the lope was in both video's, and that was without touching the gas. lol

 

[subspeed6]

Yeah I caught that... I was wondering if it was because of throttle tapping and clutch feathering.
