WILA: The 2005 Shootout

[Greg F]

How to finally launch with the new clutch/flywheel setup...and stay off the trailer.
Victoracers can beat 710s.
I want to do Solo 1 and/or track days.
'67 is good year for ESP.
CLASSIFIED.

One hand is better than two.
'Fence racing' is faster than 'bench racing.'
Given the right TV interviewer, it just may be possible to 'magically levitate' a helmet, despite having both hands in the air.

1. I could do timing all day again....
2. I'm exiting the stop box I must not be on course anymore...
3. Wes' car isn't like my car....
4. if the marshalls call an off course and confirm over the radio it's an off course then I'm going to mark down a off course...
5. in Timing you do what your told, there is no place for discretion
6. threatening DNFs is effective.
7. setting up the timing tent so that I could work on my tan seemed like a great Idea... until I tried to view the monitor

I learned that Daniel... while APPEARING to be a tall, pretty-boi, blonde-haired choir boi.... when put in a shootout position... can get REAL serious.. AND EVEN DO A BIT OF TRASH TALKING!!!!

I learned that RX-8 fender flares are a visibility problem! Even 6'11" Daniel had this...

I learned that after 10 mins... I STILL couldn't find a good seating pos. in that bad-handling Mazda

I learned that if you have a good pax-able stock car... that finding a better-paxing stock car can be a smart move!

I learned that SS is way under-represented... I blame the popular MacPherson design.

I want to see more Celicas (stock), RSX-S's (in SS) and SRT-4's (sp) out at our events... WTF?

Opposite lock is becoming all too comfortable for me...

Being ALL OVER the wheel... (because you're sideways) can lead to some weird briusing on your elbows.

I like the DDT.
Most fun event AND course of the year to be honest.

I learned that VW's can "foam at the mouth"

I learned a new word-game in the trailer.

I learned that you can NOT take that bus-stop thingie FLAT in 3rd... but I learned it after 1 try... others (from Montreal... ) took a little longer... = denial! LOL! :D

I learned that sun is important.. and makes a difference... almost kissed styrofoam because of it! WTF! WOW!

I learned that a "balanced" approach is best... and that while our mind can somewhat control our left and right independantly... our other sensory systems work via the lowest common denominator.

I learned that plastic shoes like Ronald McDonald and some highlights can make an old man feel young again! LOL! oh... and a 21 Y.O. blonde don't hurt eevah!

Welcome to most race cars... very low seating position... as for the lack of handling... i agree it pushed... partly tires, but mostly setup... :eek:
