I don't mind managing the thread, but if there's no one running, what's the point?

I think we should just crown you the winner and be done with it.

I bet people will join in eventually. I know I plan on running again at some point.

zpeed · 2006-04-12, 10:37 AM

I ran about 30 laps and got 1'27.4xx.

EQ Tuning · 2006-04-12, 06:16 PM

well I ran 8 laps and got a 1.27.353... if I can keep it straight the whole way I should be able to beat that

EQ Tuning · 2006-04-12, 06:48 PM

scratch that... down to 1'27.118. I can do the first half faster now but can't seem to hold it together for the 2nd...

EQ Tuning · 2006-04-13, 12:08 AM

Ok... 1'26.614 and I think I'm done for the night.

GarySheehan · 2006-04-13, 06:57 AM

I'll be rejoining shortly...

Gary

sperry · 2006-04-13, 08:54 AM

You guys are killing me... the challenge ended on Tuesday, and no one but me ran it, so we don't even have a challenge right now!

Are we just going to make this one a 2-week challenge, and pick a new track next Tuesday?

cody · 2006-04-13, 09:04 AM

Seems to make sense since you can't win your own challenge.

Oh, I can win it... I just can't pick two in a row.

Sorry Scott. I'll quite my racing gig and straighten up/fly right.

I was more commenting on Ed running laps 2 days after the end of the challenge, but if you wanna trade jobs I got no problem driving in Speed GT for ya while you write server software and race GT4 for me Thursday nights.

Though I think I'd probably disappoint your sponsors when I crash the car into the guy in front of me trying the old GT4 8 tire pass in T1 of my 1st event.

EQ Tuning · 2006-04-13, 10:20 AM

Ah... sorry scott didn't realize it was over. I finally had some time so I was excited to race. I say we make it a 2 week

Yeah, no problem, let's just go on this one for one more week. I think I was the only one that ran any laps last week.

Just don't forget that the laps times don't count w/o a picture!

And I'll take over updating the 1st post if Cody's not interested.

zpeed · 2006-04-13, 01:00 PM

I 2nd that make it 2 weeks. Got to run more laps

zpeed · 2006-04-16, 02:24 PM

1'25.077 there are a little more room to improve. I just need a clean lap. I just know Sperry will be in mid 1'24. I can do that by drag thru the wall

.

EQ Tuning · 2006-04-16, 03:16 PM

I got a 1'25.049 but I can deffinately do a bit better if I ever get another clean lap

cody · 2006-04-16, 04:59 PM

1st post updated. I ran a couple laps and all I gotta say is I can't wait to see Scott's best lap. This car is evil...but I like it.

cody · 2006-04-16, 09:57 PM

22 laps and I'm still 10 seconds slower than you Mofo's.

It's like threading a box of needles with a chainsaw.

bemani · 2006-04-17, 08:25 AM

I bet you can go faster than that if you just stay on the gas and *try* to steer away from the walls.

cody · 2006-04-17, 08:56 AM

Well, I ran a few more laps and got down to the 1'30's, but I've yet to get anything that resembles a clean lap.

It's just like autocross... you need to get a rhythm. Try to drive 5 or 10 laps at like 8/10 speed. Concentrate on being smooth and sticking to the line. Try to picture what the next corner coming up is while you're mid-corner on the current turn.

I bet that even driving w/o pushing hard, you'll end up setting some faster time.

cody · 2006-04-17, 09:06 AM

I've been working on modulating the throttle better (it's not an on/off switch?) and smoothing out my inputs (epileptic monkeys got nothing on me).

zpeed · 2006-04-17, 12:59 PM

So what is your time !! Sperry?
