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!

Thanks! I finally got a Dell. All the goodies came with it.

**MKB** · 08-12-2003, 05:30 PM

Hey Jake nice job on the video! Thanks for the clean race I had a blast!... Mike #21 yellow-ish RX7

**lateapex911** · 08-12-2003, 08:21 PM

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!

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!)

Yes! I actually brought a copy to LR this past weekend thinking you might be there. I will send it out ASAP!
thanks again
Stephen

**MKB** · 08-13-2003, 07:18 AM

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!

**MKB** · 08-13-2003, 07:26 AM

Of course that was for MR2 "Jake"

**Greg Amy** · 08-13-2003, 08:05 AM

 So, buy...yourself an old RX-7...

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...

**Nick Leverone** · 08-13-2003, 08:32 AM

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?

Nick forgot his

's!

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.

**83rx701** · 08-13-2003, 09:45 AM

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.

Oh, quit you're bitchin'...only a few cars that will dominate...

Eh, blah at you, Nick.

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?

...thought you were going to be running at the track record with your new diff and tires this year, what gives?

Reality?

...your car...would be a fine addition to ITA...

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....
