Weekend forcast, it looks like we could be in for another weekend of weather, some rain Thursday lingering into Friday then partly cloudy Saturday. Bucha says you can’t predict weather two weeks out so I’d say it’s a 50/50 chance of some of weather.

Shaping up to be a nice weekend, mostly sunny with a puffy spring cloud! Temps in the low 70’s

#11

Saturday will be my SE30 debut. I’m really looking forward to racing with you guys.

Any advice for standing start technique? I’ve never done it before and I don’t want to be the guy causing a pile up at the start…

Cheers,

Dean

#12

Simple…Start at the back of the pack otherwise, pump & dump:laugh:

#13

It’s like you don’t know me at all… :lol:

#14

Ok

You want to set your RPM about 1350, then ease the clutch out and then apply a little more throttle. You’ll get a nice safe start :slight_smile:

#15

So that’s how it’s going to be…

And let me guess, emergency brake on during this entire sequence, right?? :ohmy: :ohmy:

Seriously looking forward to racing with you all.

Cheers,

Dean

actually brad, thats not a terrible idea. Because i have a heavy clutch, it might make sence to start a little lower in the revs to initially keep the tires from spinning. Besides, with the adrenaline, ill probably hit the gas more before the clutch engages so itll actually be like 3000 before the clutch grabs haha

#17

yes, yes <<<< “ease” <<<< don’t forget your emergency 4-way flashers so others know to go around!

#18

Check that last post, As Steven suggested starting at the back is safest! What [color=#00ff00]color[/color] is your [color=#00ff00]car[/color] so WE can look out for it just in case theirs lap traffic :sick:
