Almost forgot this one. Teklord, which was worse, the CC or the open hatch? Nothing quite as bad as trying to figure out where all that air is going, at speed, for me anyway.

Yeah but the hatch wasn't my fault, although it really distracted me. It wasn't completely open anyway, the left side didn't latch when I closed it. The hatch is a pain in the ***. I took way more pics at Tobay Beach, would have taken more but it started raining. Check out those pics here: <a href="http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~yarin/Picts/tobay/" target="_blank">http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~yarin/Picts/tobay/</a>

Judging by the pics something tells me there is a little more $$ floating around the NY area compared to central Jersey. Although a 360 and Viper did come to watch, not too bad.

I'm about to acquire a telephoto lens for my digital camera, should double the zoom power. This way I can grab even better shots, full digital zoom sucks.

Al, I guess the header is part of the improved class deal, sounds nice though. Any other mods, or am I asking for the secrets to your success now?

That's why I asked, I had mine open up at an event last year and I thought it was more distracting than the wipers. You can turn off the wipers without losing much time, but that hatch keeps you distracted 'till you stop and close it .

EDIT:Ever notice the Ferraris and Vipers watch, but don't run? Wonder what they're afraid of ?

Thanks for pointing that out to everyone. As if enough people didn't see that. Besides.... I didn't run over any of my stuff. Those were Adrial's sunglasses and his oil. So THERE!

Next time come up to me and tell me, i'll take pictures of everyone. I grabbed some video with my digital camera at Tobay Beach, no sound though. I'd like to bring a video camera too.

Al P., You've got a good chunk of my wish list there, so at least I'm thinkin' in the right direction. Does your chip lack a rev-limit like mine? I haven't been pushing as hard since I caught the tach at 7300+ rpm, I guess I've gotten paranoid.
Yarin, The puddle was yours too? You had a rough day, didn't you

I was getting very pissed off, things just weren't going right. Besides that fact I was making an *** of myself because there were a few other things that differ between NNJR and MetroNY, IE: starting order and stuff. Yes the puddle was mine. On top of all of this I OCed on my first 2 runs, I was ready to turn around and go home. Luckily I figured out that I kept missing the last set of cones before the halfway mark, just like a bunch of other people. On a positive note I didn't touch any cones. Did anyone else see the #66, the other BMW 3 series who managed to lodge a cone in his tire well?

yeah...he took the cone from my "station"...it was from the gate right before the one you kept missing...which i also missed on my first run

i ran out to replace the cone but it never surfaced from under his car!

adrial was going to replace it with a yellow cone even though the one missing was red...that would have been funny.

At least you know where you OCed, I did it on the fourth run but I can only guess where. Worse, I think it may have been the third gate from the start, which shows how short my attention span can be <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> . And worse still, I'm pretty sure it was my fastest run of the day (shortcuts will do that ) I didn't feel as fast in the afternoon.

HAHA suckers! I didn't pickup a single cone all day, nobody touched a cone at station 4. A few came close, but not close enough. Dan drop me an IM sometime, teklord310. peace
