Yup, new gloves/suit. Gotta love CDOC contingency!
MX-5 suspension had twice the spring rate for a lighter car and adjustable shocks…not to mention the much shorter wheel base.

Thanks for sharing. You need more power. It looks like you can probably run a similiar ultimate laptime to most of the cars due to braking and handling but you are going to have a hell of time passing anyone.

Yea he was all blinged out.
Nice read at 10:40!
Yikes at 11:27! Did they rule against you or do they support wrecks because it improves tv ratings? 
I agree with simon. You guys were fast in quali but I think its better to be faster on the straight and a little slower overall so you dont get passed on the straights and then held up in the turns. That can be frustrating.
Nice job and thanks for sharing! It looks like you didnt back off much for a 6 hr. race!

Looks to me like you held your line, and he turned into you.
After that dive bomb move at around 7:20 I think he deserved it!

Thanks, nothing ever came of the contact there. I certainly didn’t want to make any contact, but didn’t really get many options as I saw it.
He divebombed at 7:20, but also the lap before which is a bit harder to see. At about 5:05, you see me hesitate to turn in because he ducks inside and lightly touches my door. Pretty much racing incidents I’d say, but if he had given more room as I had done for him, he wouldn’t have spun (just as I kept myself from spinning).
But of course, my opinion might be biased.

Wicked awesome video, Skeeners!
That was some hair sh!t. I bet you felt like you were all hopped up on Mountain Dew the hole time you was in the car…
I agree that d-bag in the while car got what he diserved comeing out of hogpin.
I tryed to stop by to say hello a few times but either you was not there you my tubby @ss girlfriend had to take a leak.
We’ll hook up soon. Maybe you can give me a few pointers so I can take over as the new lord and master of Spec E30 after you go on to bigger and better things?
Nice drive. Sorry about the bad luck. My moms says bad things happen to bad people. but she’s a stupid old bat and doesn’t know what she’s saying half teh time. I think it was Gods way of keeping you in check. Your day will come. Don’t let it get you to down.

As always you looked nice a smooth man. The car looked to be pretty balanced! It definitely looked like you were at a power disadvantage though. Looks like fun man I hope I can get into one of those one day.
cheers,
P.S. Let me know about VIR

MikeD-
First you’ve got to find a way to get some weight out of your car!
It’s probably the equivalent of being ~10 hp down.

Good job Mike…Looked like fun.
So that sounds like it would be more like a go kart than a spec e30 car.
What about the Hoosiers?
Lap times comparable?
It sounds like it has a very usable 5th gear too.
When is that race going to be telecast?

It was lots of fun! Doesn’t handle much like a spec car at all.
Hoosiers were fine, but nothing too impressive.
Lap times were 2:10 range. SpecE30 record is 2:18 and probably wouldn’t have been better than 19s or 20s on this weekend.
Six speed, 3-6 very useful.
Not televised.
