Race school!! +)

My brother did that last year, but with a sports car club here (we live real close to Mosport)
He has a blast, though he drives a Toy Corolla GTS RWD.

Dad bought me a day of Dirtrack school (motorcycles ) oh at least 5 yrs ago, i soo looked forward to it, I drove 3 hrs to get there only to be rained out +(

BUT!! it looks like I have a early 70's RD 350 yamaha lined up which I would like to prep for vintage racing one day +)

Ahhh,..racing...you are correct.  The fastest I have ever managed was 196.7mph on an oval track (300ZX TT, heavily modified).  It is simply amazing.  Talk about an adrenline rush!
One day I really want to break that 200mph barrier though.

The straight away at Pacific Raceway (Used to be Seattle International Raceway) only allows about a 125-150 mph jaunt before you have to start breaking for the next corner (see map here). Sounds like fun Skuzzy! Whew!

Lol Skurj and no thanks.  I was nervous enough doing the speed I was doing in a full racing harness and helmet.

That is a neat track Ripsnort.  What is it, a half mile loop?  Looks like if you vould get a good line from 3B to 6, you could push it, only if 7 and 8 are banked.
Is it a flat track?  Dang,..I love a good track.

2.2 miles Skuzzy, I've been out there watching them race for years, but this will be my first time actually on this track. Will post pics and let you know in August, unfortunately, I'm again giving up the Con to pursue something else this year :(  Damn hobbies, so little money, so little time for everything. :(

2.2 miles!  Uhmmm,,,from turn 9 to 1 should be about 1/4 mile then.  You should be able to get above 150 and brake in time for turn 2.  Well,..I am assuming a car that can get to 100 in the 11 to 12 second range from zero.

Is turn 2 banked?  What angle?

I would love to put some rubber on this track.

Ya, thats what I meant, with MY car, only capable of 125-150 (going by what other 330 drivers tell me)...Turn 2 in not banked, if it is, its very slight.

I know we aren't all self-employed or 'the boss'

Does he know? :rolleyes:


SKurj


I don't post on weekends because I have to spend my  weekends in County Jail for the next several months. And judging by the tone of some of my fellow posters I assume I'm not the only one who spends weekends playing cards and talking about how not to get caught at miscreant behavior at the local County Correctional Facility.

Sometimes the law makes no sense. My job in jail is to milk the county dairy herd, but it was a cow that landed me here in the first place... Now I double check the barn door the barn door to make sure it is closed completely before I spend some quality time with a cow.
