Wow Noby.....you are my new best friend! Thanks for the offer. John has found some more fun stuff to do on my car so it probably won't be ready for the MSR event. But he is thinking it should be ready for TWS. Thanks!

Great!

I look forward to the rides. Being in the Blue run group I probably can't scare you, so I'll try not to bore you.

Hahaha! Well, as I often say to students, please don't try to impress me, because you can't (although there have been one or two exceptions). Please don't try to scare me, because I already am!

As we get closer, let's pick a specific Blue session, since my free time tends to evaporate on these weekends...

LOL! Y'know, I have been very, very fortunate. In all the years I have been instructing and now coaching, I can count the number of times I was truly concerned for my safety on one hand, with a finger or two to spare.

It's more fun in a Miata that way.
I think CCW is more rewarding than CW.

Why was it changed? Safety reasons (the aforementioned T1)?

Just curious ? Why do you guys prefer CW ?
Maybe this should be a new topic ?

It's not really so much a preference for CW over CCW. It's more that it is not often I get the chance to run it the other way and I was looking forward to the variety. I've only ever driven CW once before. But you are right that CCW will likely reward a lower hp car more than CW. 13-14-15 going CCW is the great equalizer before the long straight. But I do think though that turns 6 and 5 flow better CW rather than CCW.

Nothing wrong with CCW at all. I think folks just like a change every once and a while.

Agreed. The same reason that ***** come in pairs.

I like them both for different reasons. I agree--we were "due" to go CW this time, per Jake's desire to alternate. I am not sure why he picked CCW, but he did.
