Eating at Buck's for the third time this weekend. I'm not even driving and there are too many cars in the run groups!

All within weeks of each other

I might just start with bloody marys tomorrow and watch the NASA "racers" play bumper cars
Houston! We have a problem!!!

I suppose with the NASA program finished, the locals have a lot more spare time on their hands...

Alternative plan sounds appropriate or maybe the gokarting suggested above... Do 20 laps sober as baseline, then get smashed and do another 20 laps to see the effects. Could prove to be interesting, especially if you get faster

Cant wait to hear about watkins glen.....

I am thinking PFC for my next brakes. Looks like there was a little taper but not a big deal. Did you flip the pads at all?

Do 20 laps sober as baseline, then get smashed and do another 20 laps to see the effects.
Like today, it will be the other way around.
Did you flip the pads at all?
Nope. That is 8 days without touching them. Looks like they will last 8 day front and 12 rear to me....

FLATOUT lap:
Super sloppy, but I had to make it up as I went. Do or die.

Someone remind me to clean the camera!! My bad.

Izzone made me post this:
Crazy driver in Turbo Corvette in front:
Super nice racer guy Ryan offered to point me the fast way around the track. Just did not get enough clean laps to figure it out on my own.
I offered him air fair from Watkins Glen home and all the beer he can drink for some additional coaching. He's thinking about it ;-)


Anyone going to Watkins Glen with the Audi Club Monday and Tuesday?

January is a lot easier for me to get away from work but I'd be less keen togive up summer for the cold... Would much prefer a mid year mancation to get some more sun...

I'm subscribed and will be keeping an eye out for mancation announcements with the view to attending.

I slammed a couple of Red Bulls this moring and the alcohol hit back. Pretty swirly all. Clears right up as soon as the adrenaline kicks in on track though.
Let's say our drinking team has a driving problem.

Super nice guy Ryan signed my car; He raced (And unfortunately crashed his Mustang while in P2) a Mustang and knew the track real well:
