Thank you N0tt0N for your most generous compliments. Still have a lot to learn from the senior drivers in our region and I know the car's setup can be polished some more.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make it on Sunday (family obligations), but that gave me a chance to ride along with Will -- by the end of his last session, he was actually catching that black 997 in the corners.

I think even the puppy had fun -- lotsa of new people to lick!

Gave a bunch of ride-alongs, although I had to cut one session short to avoid car sickness. :vomit:

Finally remembered to hook up the phone to record two sessions on Sunday, the last Red and the first combined Red/Black. I agree with N0tt0N's assessment of that Red/Black session -- it was like being in a Lemons race, only with nicer cars. I'm a little surprised some of those drivers actually made it to Black -- my passenger got to hear some "choice" comments about the (apparently unintended) brake checks going into 10.

However, the last Red session did result in a new personal best. Here's the video of the lap, chasing down Vranko:

Thank you to all the volunteers who set this up and ran a great event. Even the dinner was great, despite the monsoon. I'll place my vote now to have Railside cater next year's dinner too.

Here's another video I took Friday. A Spec (I think) Boxster came out during White and I got to chase him/her around. I was working it but I'm sure he/she was just having a relaxing drive. I think this is the only time I wish I had grippier tires (and a lot more experience). :)

It was fun for me and I learned a couple things, and even more re-watching it.

Unfortunately, if you had grippier tires he would have just driven faster. That's SilverStreak and he had PinkieLift out for a demo ride. Still, very nice driving again. Almost looks boring! :) Thanks for sharing.

^ I'm sure Silverstreak used the GT3 near the end just to mess with you!

Yes, very nice. Very smooth, need to correct that with some autocross :shock:

Modian 08-16-2017 05:50 PM

Actually, I do autocross as well. :) I started both DE and autocross last year and did way more autocross than DE. This year I've only done 3 events and a couple test and tunes because the PCA DEs keep colliding with the NCC autocross and I'd rather do the DE.

Nice lap, Bill C! What tires were you running?
