NHMS Memorial Day Weekend Roll Call

[Abhi]

Andy / Abi, got any video that I could learn the right way around the track?

I do have video from the last weekend. However it is 3GB. I will burn it to a DVD and leave it at Matt's for you.

Unless I figure out how to convert it to a lower resolution, then I will post it to Vimeo. Just got the new GoPro HD2.

Ah, cool! Thanks. The file would be large unless only showing 6 or 7 minutes worth. Much appreciate Abhi.

Follow the red #17 around the track from green to checker and at least you'lll finish behind me!

[gran racing]

Won't be racing in ITB.

Ziiiiing!!!
(on me) Although Andy can show you a 14.8, I can show you my 15.0...... (and we're not talking inches...........)

I'll either do the Thurs Test & Tune or the driver's school. (Certainly not both.)

Although I didn't double check I don't think there is a test and tune on Thursday. However, they will be selling test "sessions" in between school groups. I think it was in the sups

Correct. The Cycling Club is there Thursday. Test groups can be bought on first come first served at the event.

No Jeff. I know you've gone fast there in the Saturn but also realize you're on transition phase with the Miata. I will watch your Miata video for entertainment purposes too. LOL

After this weekend, I'll watch your video to learn.

[Andy Bettencourt]

There are a million SM vids out there to help you. It will be fun!!!

My line through 3 and 9 are a bit different than most.

Anyone know what the deal is with the numbers listed on motorsportreg.com? For some reason the number listed for my car is wrong.

Dunno, in the Prod group, there are three # 1's!

You are all winners!

Izat spelt "whiner"?

We're up to 14 ITA cars and we still have 3 weeks to go. Teehee... I feel bad for the lone SSB car though.

Don't feel bad for Bob. He's been running like that for years.......

It's more the SM cross overs running 16s you should be worried about............ If you're running 18s this race you probably won't make it into the top 5......... That will be embarrassing if it's Andy, then four SM cars..........

it is sad that we get excited aver a field of 14 ITA cars.......... Used to get in the high 20s

[mossaidis]

When did we have 20+ car fields Jeff? WTF happened? I started in 2009 yet with the belief that we would have 20+ car fields. I almost want to back to the entry logs from 2006 on and see who has fallen off the list: which ones went to another class, which ones left SCCA.

Do you include yourself in that SM cross over list?

[Ed Funk]

Back just after the earth's crust cooled, B was the big field, many 20-30 car fields. Frequently more B cars than A,C,S combined. My first win was at LRP at the 2nd John Stim race...B only, 30 plus cars. Steph (who I had yet to meet) was in the back of the pace car and has a photo of the field going through West Bend....cars were still coming over the top of the Uphill!

Just as I get to the 18's ( and thrilled to be there ), hoping to get into the high 17's I now have no hope and need to get into the 16's, It will never end!!

[JLawton]

It will never end!!

After three years you're just figuring it out NOW?? Wait until you start going nuts buying new tires..........

[Dano77]

I can remember fields of 20 to 25 A cars and 11 of them were RX7's 2000 NARRC Runoffs pic with me on row 2 and cars still coming over hill at west bend.

The good old days.

I'm not sure if there is anyone else left besides Andy, Shane, Anthony Ruddy and I that I can recall. I think most have moved on to other classes. Richie went to NASA, Crazy Joe finally got a girlfriend. There were a bunch of 240s that ran......
