Steve Ulfelder:
Thanks for your sincere apology, but if you frame by frame through Chris' video at 0:45, you
will see that you, in fact, did nothing wrong...
- I nosed in under Thiele to make a try
- I saw you on the left, and knew we couldn't go 3 wide
- I tucked in behind Thiele and stayed wide of you
- I straddled the new (off camber) pavement at the exit
- I lost the rear end (you can see the front tire turn right to correct)
- When the car came back, it slapped you with my rear quarter panel
as I see it, no fault to either of us....just racing

Glenn, I was thinking exactly the same thing as I watched the vid. At the time, I thought I had tracked too wide on exit, forcing you to either thump me or drive off the road. On further review, as they say in the NFL, I see you wiggled and gave me a harmless whack.
Therefore, I retract my apology.
Fun race, fun weekend. See you at the Rock in a few weeks.

Thanks a lot Stephen! I really appreciate the offer. I'll reach out to you via PM for details. Not sure if I can make it up, but I'll certainly try.
I did manage to make it up for part of the action on Saturday and a big thanks to Rob Thiele and the guys from Autotechnic for making me feel welcome. I'm looking forward to joining the ranks soon!

Congrats folks! Looks like a great weekend. Nothing like catching the in-car videos after the weekend.
Way to go Rob Thiele! Great drive 1:13! Smoking fast time :-)
I sure hope Rob D was not penalized on height. I have memories of trouble in the tech shed last year at NHIS :-(

Is the ITB car totalled Tim? Sounding that way since you're asking about other cars that are for sale. Man that sucks.

Oh, that's right. What happened to the Golf III? Forgot you're driving an Audi.

WTT: ITA Miata for ITR....
Dave and Greg;
yup, it's the Golf! My brother Matt did buy the Audi, and although a newbie, he's coming along quickly!
The Golf is fixable, but it will take some work. And I am just looking at options. Don't know if I feel like re-building the Golf again, may want to look at an ITA or ITS, or even ITR to get in to. I love the battles that I have had with other ITB guys - great racing! But this may be the right time to try something else? Not sure yet. If I was ever going to do something else, this looks like a great time to do it - unfortunately.
I will keep you posted! PS: had a good conversation with Jeff L. today - nice car with a good price! We shall see...............

Yup ITR ITR ITR!!! I would love to race door to door with you again!
I am truly sorry for your loss Racing isn't cheap and It's always discouraging to see another car taken out of commission

Thanks for the info. I'm still learning about the car. We just finished it last month. We are now tracing down a problem with it going into limp-mode.
Anyway here my in-car video of the 1st race Saturday afternoon. The video starts on my 2nd lap. I spun in turn 3 on lap 1 and my camera lost this footage. I spun do the normal reasons cool tires, too much speed and a general lack of talent.

Ah, limp mode when disabling one of the wheel sensors... That reminds me of why I argued to toss the stock ecu. I think Josh has found a work around, probably just keep all the wheel speed sensors connected. Second problem you may encounter is the disconnected ABS pump causing all front brakes, and no rear. I tossed the pump, and replumbed the master cylinder, and installed a bias valve.
Welcome to the madness, looks like you may do well, and good luck.

Just leave the RR wheel speed sensor connected. Perfectly legal to disconnect only three, and this won't confuse the ECU. Works fine on my '99, stock ECU w/custom flash (and the flash has nothing to do with the brakes.)
