t-minus 9 days for me

just a few odds & ends to wrap up, can't wait. I'll keep you guys updated here on how everything is going

Gairloch · 09-03-2007, 07:05 PM

Good luck, Ken!

You going to have some in-car video to share with us?

kbrew8991 · 09-03-2007, 07:10 PM

no video, but should have some data logger stuff from the G2X unit I'm borrowing... not quite as good in some areas, better in others...

Gairloch · 09-03-2007, 07:13 PM

I have an in car mount if you have a camera. Hook us up!

Hell, I'll even trim the video for you.

kbrew8991 · 09-05-2007, 06:15 PM

let me see if I can scrounge up a camera then, whats this mount of yours look like and attach to?

kbrew8991 · 09-13-2007, 06:53 PM

updates will be here:
NASA Nationals 2007 - Page 2 - Trackpedia Discussion Forums

currently 2nd, just ~0.7 off of 1st in class, who is a local, who I'm hoping won't have as much time to drop as I do

last session was a ~1:51.6 (pro course config)

Gairloch · 09-13-2007, 08:00 PM

Sorry I didn't see this sooner, Ken.

The mount I have attaches to the passenger head rest. If you're interested shoot me an email and I'll take pictures.

kbrew8991 · 09-14-2007, 12:41 PM

ah, no passenger seat in (and I'm still 50lbs overweight, ugh)

we'll see how today goes, I'll be gridded right behind first in class so we'll see how much time I can drop chasing him

Gairloch · 09-14-2007, 03:29 PM

It can just as easily be mounted to the driver's seat. I'll try to take a picture of it today.

Hey, do me a favor will you? A friend of mine is working the event in registration. Her name is Kathi Jorgensen. Her husband, Jeff, is the NASA MW HPDE 1/2 director. She just told me that she's spending most of her day cruising the net in the hospitality tent. Go say hi for me please.

She'll be in driver info after 4:30 and is wearing a red NASA shirt at the counter.

Gairloch · 09-20-2007, 04:53 AM

So how did you do?

kbrew8991 · 09-20-2007, 06:01 PM

still collecting various pictures, I'll post a gallery link in a few days

ran a 1:48.797 versus a 1:48.302 (0.595 faster). 2nd place and I drove my heart out to go that fast.. ah well, time for some more development with the car and another year's worth of seat time

Gairloch · 09-20-2007, 06:18 PM

Congratulations on second at nationals!!

What was the gap to 3rd place?

Did you ever manage to run into Kathy?

kbrew8991 · 09-20-2007, 11:56 PM

sorry man, didn't get a chance to run into her

1:48.302 for 1st place, Allen Skillicorn, Mazda MX6 V6
1:48.797 for 2nd place, myself, MK2 MR2 NA
1:50.838 for 3rd place, Bill Marquart, NB Miata (99-04ish)

Gairloch · 09-21-2007, 12:28 AM
