Of course if he was GR's instructor there would be hope for him....

Rick

Not necessarily...keep in mind Eric got in.

Some evidence of real ineptitude might help.

rcwelch

Maybe a picture of the old SLOW car and lap times would help...and as Bull suggested I could be swayed by pictures of you with babes at the track, showing you are really NOT interested in going fast.

Bull

I ask the Big Turtle....ever had a guy in the Turtle Pond with some kind of special dashboard gizmo, spending time looking for data, etc???? All I ever worried about regarding my dashboard when i tracked my 993 was making certain Jimi Hendrix was in the CD player before I left the paddock!

Rick, the consensus seems to be that we need more evidence. Keep in mind that most here would rather look at pictures, or view videos, than have to read stuff........

I hope I didn't make a fatal disclosure here - the dash came with the car! I barely know how to make it work! Its just a fancy tachometer and shift light!
Besides, I use a sun dial for a timer.

DaveM993

Is there ANYTHING else you need to tell us????? The dashboard thingy is not fatal, as long as it is more a source of confusion and distraction...but now is the time for full disclosure.

RickBetterley

Bull - I was warned about you.
The hot babe is my wife; is this allowed? She's pretty understanding about the track stuff. I don't want to push it.
Laptimes - if I posted them it might crash John D's servers, so we can't do that.
I am just as slow in the new car as I was in the old car; must be the driver.

RickBetterley

'Those that can, do; those that can't, instruct' (just kidding; please understand I am desperate here. You guys are way better at this than I expected).

Bull

Moi? What did "they" tell you..."don't expect everyone to be as nice and helpful as Bull"?????

Well then, if you are still finding the dash to be a source of confusion, we can take that off the table of concerns!

Bull

Now you are saying that you didn't expect much of us??????

RickBetterley

The only thing the data ever told me was 'jeez, you are slow; stop braking so early.'

DaveM993

so this AIM thing does make you better??

DaveM993

OK here’s the deal. I am one of the newbies to the team. Means I get to clean brake dust off other team member wheels. I think I managed to convince the HWFMR Gods to let me in because I managed to spin in my first turn of my first track event…I guess I was looked at as one “with lots ‘o potential”…but I know my place.

So now we have someone who has not spun on dry pavement in 10 years. (My personal belief that this is where you may have err’d in your application). But since I am not on the membership committee I don’t have a lot of pull here. Getting you on the team would move me up one notch in seniority…so I am pulling for you. But you are either very cautious…or…very good…or both. The very good part just won’t do…and my understanding is that the HWMFR chi implodes if somebody on the team actually demonstrates competence (actually intended competence…)…not all podium finishes are intended I realize.

So let’s assume you are really cautious? It means you either know, or don’t want to know the limits of your car…but then there is this dashboard, telling you how to drive, keeping your butt in the limits, AIM ‘puter thing…disclosure error #2. So you might not be as cautious as we think…hence you therefore might actually be good.

Only fast people need brakes to slow them down. If you go slow enough you are already at the optimal speed for turn in and don't have to bother with that silly pedal in the middle. I already have enough distractions with the whole chewing gum and driving thing why bother with a brake pedal.
