Is there another event planned yet?

Every IRDC race weekend depending on turnout. These are two day events and I am driving up from Salem and staying over the weekend. If we can get more interest I will keep at it. Right now there are 3 of us showing this coming event.

I have created a FB group, if you partake PM me and I will get you the info.

I fly back sat night and a friend of mine agreed to take my car/trailer to the track for me so I can run the race groups on Sunday. I look forward to seeing you there!

ORP is hard and I've gone off twice already. Not a great start to the day.

CW today, CCW tomorrow. I got much more comfortable by the later sessions. Didn't set any track records but got much smoother.

Edit: I enjoyed going CCW a lot more. It could be that I was more familiar with the track by then, but I really enjoyed all the throttle steer you get to do when running CCW. T14 in particular was fun. I wasn't pushing for lap times, as it was my first time there, but I did a 2:07.7 CCW. I know I left a lot on the table at 13, 8, and 2.

So it felt a lot faster than it looks. :-\

Raw video again. I'll figure out how to use racerender eventually. Fastest lap starts around 2:00.

Edit: figured it out. now with data. i think the sync is just a hair off.

Planning on running RD 1 of PacNW 86Cup 5/11-5/12 at PR with IRDC

Must have prior experience at PR.

Who else will be at RMP this Saturday? I'll be there with my new Solo2 DL. Can't wait for a (hopefully) first dry day of the season!

Slim chance I will be there, may be heading down to CA instead for a car show with a friend. I've got a lot of new parts I want to try too.

I'll be there. Tires are getting tired (heh) so I won't set any records, but should be fun regardless.

Didn't you just get those?

They've got 5 days on them. They're not close to cords or anything; plenty of meat left. All I mean is that they're past peak grip.

So are my SX2s. I think I'm 7 or 8 events deep on them. I wasn't able to get closer than +1sec to my PB last time out. Heat cycling with street use and a 2014 manufacturing date probably hasn't helped either. I would guess I won't be able to go faster than 2:05 or 2:06 on them. I'm also still shaking off some cobwebs after a few sketchy rain days—I lost some confidence in my car after the last few events.

I'll have a Longacre pyro on Saturday as well. I haven't used it yet, so I'm really looking forward to dialing in pressures with some real data this time around.

@kch it would be great to trade data. Are you running in B group?

Yep. I'll be logging and can share data. Can also send you the log from my 2:02.51 lap. It's not mind-blowing, but I probably won't be as quick this weekend, so yeah.
