Dude!!!

That's an awsome video! I need to learn how to do that with my video's. Do you have special stuff or do you do it all with the video camera? Either way that is great footage and an awsome video!

Fun stuff there Jake! (Seems weird writing your own name!)

Looks like Lou (01 ITA green RX-7) couldn't decide which door to show you! Man was he sideways! I bet he can't wait to see that! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif

MR2 looks like a DEMON braker! I must remember that!

Shh! That's one of my few tricks!

Mike - thanks for the great race. I love playing with you rotory guys. BTW - who's got the blue one? I think I still have some of his paint on my car.

So, buy an ITA car!! Hey....get yourself an old RX-7, same tune, different chord! (although they changed the rules midstream on the old RX!)

I had both the 31 and the 01 spin while fallowing me-#21-I wonder if that means anything????

Jake-I think I need to be behind you-I ran my fastest times to date! Only 9.10ths and I'll be in the 106s....It's fun to have great mid pack racing!

Hey, wouldn't that be fun? But, unfortunately, no thanks. I won't be building or buying another car for SCCA for a long, long time (except a spec car). There's just too much confusion, subjective reasoning, indecisiveness, and outright unknowns to be "investing" in anything but a Spec Miata right now. Who the heck knows what IT will look like two years from now? Next year?

For all I know I could get into something and be in the same exact position I'm in right now. Hell, even buying/building a BMW 325is or Acura Integra is speculative at best, foolish at worst...

Oh, quit you're bitchin' Greg, so you bought the wrong car for the class, or you thought it could be the right car and were wrong, this happens all the time there is only a few cars that will dominate in any class in any kind of motorsports from autocross to road racing.

Look on the bright side you were the first place, I'll be it out of three drivers in your new little class, hey I thought you were going to be running at the track record with your new diff and tires this year, what gives?

I ran some numbers last night Greg. Since I have been doing ITA research, comparing min weights with max whp quotes, I think your car at 2590 would be a fine addition to ITA. Seriously.

Nice times Mike. I was lucky to get around you. My best time was 1:07.5 - I need to follow you more so you can show me how to get into the 6's.

Hey nice video,EXCEPT FOR THE END!!I still don't know what happened? I thought I had it saved but oh well. Thanks for getting my 1st spin (hope last one ha ha) on video. I'll have to get a copy sometime. It was fun racing with you guys.

Eh, blah at you, Nick. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif That's easy for you to say. Besides, my commentary above was not in regards to my current position but to IT in general. You wanna pick a car for 2005 right now?


<font face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"2\">...thought you were going to be running at the track record with your new diff and tires this year, what gives?</font>

Reality?

If only you were king...but, ain't nothing happening until the current PCA issue is resolved.

Greg - why would building a 325is be foolish or speculative? My car is new and i have been running in the top 5 all season long...Thanks Rob & Jeff. Plus I am having fun trying to beat the Mazdas...the cars are pretty equal...Hey Nick, maybe will finally come up to NHIS....

Sorry about that, it was considered but other things happened! Next time if we're not there, try to find Dave or Jake, we see them a bit. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/smile.gif

Jake,

Great video! But.....where is your spin?

Nick Leverone
08-13-2003, 07:47 PM
John,

You guys better make it to NHIS, people bust the track for being small but there is a lot of action. My best races prior to the ones this year at the Rock have been at NHIS.

I watched the video, I think I pushed you half way up the back straight on one lap, unfortunately the T1 vette was ultimately my down fall as Kip and the C-GT1 car got by becuase he held us up on that lap. It turned out to be the end of my race as I spent the next 7-8 laps watching the three of you racing together while I got more and more frustrated by the Vette and Capri parking it in the corners and pulling away just enough so I couldn't get by under braking.

Jake - I'll get you at the next LRP race! Darn red car (BMW?) on the downhill (also on the cool-down lap during qualifying). Practice was awesome; still need to show and Diane the video.

Scott - Where were you? Rain scare you away?

I definately agree with some of the past comments. How much are we racing for? Believe me, I am extremely competitve! But not worth hurting my car or really more importantly others. Some of us, myself included, can't afford to fix the car if destroyed. Although that won't prevent some good rubbing if well deserved.

Dave - Yellow ITA 13

Oh....that would be me, I guess. http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/frown.gif

Okay...what exactly constitues a "spin"?? I would call Lou's event at the end of the video from "the other" Jake to be a classic "tank slapper". Is a quick 180 degree job with an instant recovery considered a "spin"? In the middle of Big Bend? Hmmm...thought so.

Well, fortunately, my video uploading skills aren't up to snuff yet, so that particular scene will forever be locked in the camera!

But thanks for bringing it up! http://Forums.ImprovedTouring.com/it/wink.gif

>> I am lobbying to go - I haven't ever seen the track so I'll have to follow you guys around during P&Q - I's up to the other guys - not sure I would make the tow myself w/ no help....

I watched the video, I think I pushed you half way up the back straight on one lap, unfortunately the T1 vette was ultimately my down fall as Kip and the C-GT1 car got by becuase he held us up on that lap.

>> Would love to see the video - not sure you pushed me THAT far, but it's always nice to haved someone kissing your ass!!!! The traffic did suck, and Kip got the better of me with it also - I got stuck between an SPO and an AS thing, and had to let the crazy 944 turning 0.54's by...not sure I would have caught Kip but it might have been closer at the end.....
