Reno SCCA Test and Tune pics

[sperry]

Here's my set of pictures:

I'd like to get copies of everyone elses pics too! The easiest way for those of you with a place to host files... put up a .ZIP file with all your images and I'll grab it straight off your site w/ my shell account on doink.net. Otherwise, email them in pieces to me at sperry@doink.net. I'm not sure the max size that account can receive... it might be pretty big, I'm not sure. Either way, drop me an email and let me know how I can get your pics if you want me to include them in the gallery.

Here's some of the better pics:

Good stuff

Who won? How fast was the course? How many runs did you guys get?

Oh, heres a vid from the 23rd here in sac of me running: http://home.surewest.net/ddman/KostasAutoxMuffler.wmv

Anyone record any of the laps up there? I'm very curious what kind of courses they have a stead...

Well, since it was a test and tune, there was no official scoring, but we did get times, and I was happy overall, Sperry was the fastest of our group. I ended up doing 12 runs I think...It was a great day.

The course was quick, not American-AutoX quick, but pretty quick. Unfortunately for us WRX owners it was right between 1st and 2nd gear .

I'd say the average lap speeds were right around 49-50 seconds for the field. Since it was out on the airport tarmac, it was pretty large and spread out, and the racing surface was very nice asphault.

Course went like this (if this makes any ense to someone who wasn't there, I'll be amazed):

Start gate -> 100 deg right hander, long double apex left hand sweeper -> long, fast slalom -> tight 100 degree left hander -> fairly wide and fast right hand hairpin -> short straight into three 90 deg right handers (loop-de-loop) -> cross over the short straight -> 90 deg right hander -> 180 degree double apex lefthander -> shortstraight to left/right chicane -> end gate

It was a pretty fun course, but not quite open enough for me since I spent the day either avoiding the rev limiter in 1st or begging for boost in second. In the afternoon session, we ran the course in the opposite direction, which felt a bit faster because you could stretch the slalom into that right hand sweeper, keeping the speed up a little bit.

They also had a circular skidpad set up.

Oh, here's a pic of the track (not that it'll help much )


Hopefully by the next event I can come up with some way to safely mount my digital camera in car, since it takes pretty good short movies.

I just came back from Stead and I caught the last 15 minutes on my mom's cam corder .. if anyone is interested in watching it.. not a lot of people there but a few .. there was the RX7 Twin Turbo.. the black 260Z, a few Mustangs ... and another S2000 (Like yesturday's) as well as the Mini Cooper...

[BOO]

True Dat dude!! thanks for responding

Ps: how did your bro do yesturday ?

[ArthurS]

Won his 1st two, then lost his third. This was freestyle wrestling, so much more 'hardcore' for lack of a better word. They can actually use more moves that are legal. So basically more like WWF kinda stuff.

Pic of him last year in freestyle: (In the red)

[BOO]

DAYYAM !!! :shock: Just Looking at that makes my back hurt ...lol
Thanks Art for the Visual.. lol

[tysonK]

LOOK OUT Matt pulls over a G! :shock: I was with him once. Check out that tilt, not too bad, thank you Cusco.

I talked to the guy who owns this. and 535HP at the back wheels :?

WRX's ready to destroy some tires. and Hopefully peak some boost gauges.

feakin v8 in this one.

A terrible pic of scott pulling up, after his runs.

Making sure nobody had nitrous.

the cart was fun to watch.

[tysonK]

oh and I have the radio!...If you what it back there is instructions at a phone booth on 4th street near a muffler shop, don't come till 8pm or the radio gets it.

seriously though, i can give it to after 5pm during the week or on the weekend.

tyson.
