more boooooost, d1 shoulda been a wake up call to everyone, need 100 more wheel horsepower to compete with the rest of the countries pro-am top drivers
 
Me and Jeremy both did 90's.
Apparently someone did a 93, and then Zoltan did a 98....a fucking 98.
I was launching school car and flooring it till entry. Shit was sooo good.
 
ya problem with zoltan doin that 98 is it was pushing him so far wide he was having trouble coming back in. but this track was possible to do in 2nd, when i was taking it easy i was 2nd through sweeper and didnt need to but decided to throw 3rd for the transfer, but ya even that pro dude with the ka was having trouble keeping angle, i sure hope gville happens, i wanna slide more!! maybe ill fix my shit so i can speed up my entry and do some e-brake entries
 
I did it all in 3rd because 2nd isnt awesome. Zoltan Sr even got docked hard for banging limiter in 2nd every run.

I will get more power before long, just waiting for the lotto to stop cheating me.
 
i did a fast 88
4th gear entry, dropped into 3rd and just let it loose.

im pissed i didnt make top 16

:mad:
 
I was told I hit 93mph. It was pretty fun.

haha D1 USA?? Where entry speeds are all in the 60-70s? The only wake up call D1 USA gave anyone had to do with the skills of the Japanese drivers.

when you get faster, the 'gap' between the poles at Gville are going to feel a lot smaller.

Usually that would be true; but, not in this situation.

The gab between the poles is huge. No one even got close to the inside pole.
The problem was the outside pole was lined up with exact line someone would take if they under steered after initiation (the most common time for it to happen). When we showed up and the track owner said the entry straight was not allowed to touch the 100' of new pavement that moved the straight 100' closer to the poles running the middle line of the lot. So instead of initiating far away and sweeping straight threw the middle of them on a long arc, the drivers were pushed closer to them and had to drift threw them at a much shallower angle.

I have no doubt that it would be fun and safer this time. since I have actually been able to drift the parking lots full width before (back when I worked there) and it was dramatically easier than what we pulled off for the FDC qualifier
 
Well i do think i will agree, I guess everyone does need some time to fix their cars and for other ppl to get their cars ready. past few weeks was a killer for the hardcore ppl with some going to FD atlanta and others doing D1

Oh we move THAT way over, I get it, yea thats actually not so bad then.

but as bill said, its slippery there.
 
well slippery isnt always bad, saves tires. pbir was awesome on tires, went through nothing lol, but im deff. down if gainsville comes through, i dont get enough slide time and now that ive actually got some money everybody else is broke. come on ppl start saving a 2 or 3 bucks a day now lol, it will add up

No, PBIR was not slippery at all. It was a real deal fresh race track.
