Where do I sign up for rally cross?
Yeap, that looks familiar. I will give you credit, as it looks like your chin spoiler is a much better clay plow than mine.

I doubt I'll make it, I was disappointed with my times this weekend at Road Atlanta relative to my previous times, so I'm focusing my efforts on running 1:26's or better in 2012.
Totally understand. Hopefully later in 2012 you can sneak down. 1:26's is absolutely flying Dez....

First timers running 1:37's is nothing to sneeze about! Well done.

Even after 2 visits with RS and 2 previous visits in other cars my best is a 1:357 and a few 1:36's. Looks like I will have to step it up next time around.

Trakcar - I owe you a thank you; Before going to Road Atlanta I studied your youtube video to an idea of the speeds and gears to be in during certain sections. It was a tremedous help. I also played a lot on xbox before going. Anyone going to a new track shoudl study youtube videoa and xbox; both are very helpful. You may not remember me but I approached you at Homestead about your clear film on the windshield. Despite my name BigAL i'm short 5"4. I'll be in homestead with ERME dec 17th.

Roncfpz - So sorry bud I was behind you for about two laps during one of the session to only find out later that the camera was not turned on!!! Too bad I had some awesome video...Your car sounds awesome by the way.

Sorry I don't remember, but I probably will next time we meet. Sorry I suffer from CRS.. I was not planning to be at Homestead next weekend, but maybe I can get away if I get a hall pass.

Glad I could help I guess, so you now also brake too late, go in fast and come out slow LOL...
I also try to find Youtubes of RS when I go to a new track, but Xbox etc. I find pretty much useless. I even tried the megabuck race simulator before going to Daytona the first time, but all it tells me if we are going to be left or right, hardly at what speed, what line and in what gear because tires and car and gearing are so different, never mind elevation. Also probably because I am so terrible at looking for markers, etc. You know; Scared is brakes, not scared is gas..

Sebring
[QUOTE=roncfpz;3391848]No problem Al. Thanks! Hope to catch up with you at a track sometime soon. Great driving![/

I plan on going to Sebring in 1202 several times. I was there only once my best lap was 2:39; I know I can for sure shave more than a few seconds easily. Also, my sequential shifter is being installed right now as we speak; picking up my car tomorrw from Mach Motorsports in Hollywood Florida. Sebastian is awesome to deal with and I think the south Florida dealer. Gavin from quest is the u.s dealer I believe.

I'll post pictures.
