I could possibly be in on this. Weather dependent though.

Um Gross Zimmern?

Im coming for sure . I can write a weather status sunday morning at 8.30a.m and let you know if it is dry or raining.

Michael

Web cam is showing a dry track right now. The wetter net sayiing partly sunny or partly cloudy( glass half full or half empty) Hopefully it holds.

Wish I could, but I still gotta get mine tuned and registered.

The last 2 days it was dry in Hockenheim and i think it will stay like that so dry weather tomorrow. I write a weather status in here at 8.30 a.m. to let you guys now if it is dry or wet.

Michael

Car is prepped and ready to go . We should be rolling by 9am and be there as it opens at 10.

-4 at the house but dry . So I am still heading that way. Will make thefianl decision by 0900AM.

Oh yeah I am dragging Nick up there with me . Should be a fun day if we don't freeze to death.
Any body else , if your at the ParkandRide by 0900 at the KMC Military exit on A6 , we will pick you up.

Good Morning,

And here are the weather news, it is still dry and the sun is coming out right now. It is still could with -4 here right now. So dont forget the warm socks .

See you guys later on the track.

Michael

See ya there . signing off for now

Wow that was fun . My car sucked out there . Too much brake hop, understeer going into corners , and oversteer coming out. I believe it was my replacement tires Falken RT 615 Second session was better but I had to slow down quite a bit to get things working . I am going to miss the Toyo RA1 .
Also drifted thru the Sachs Kurve , and I wasn't even trying to . Man I hope that never happens again.

Hey Roy,

That was fun, thanks for schlepping me with you up there. It was finnaly our chance to have our meet at the hock. After reviewing the videos about 30 times, I did notice that your car was experiencing some strange behavior at high speed braking and in the banked turns, it seem like a wheel hop or something from the axle, like it was locking up some, you will have to see the vid. It was a fun day for sure, I got shake it out finally to see how it is running. I spoke with Ray, he said he went out after we left, he wanted to go out with us, but was not to sure about the track.

From my home made G force meter (Pine scented air freshner hanging from the mirror) I think I was hitting some good G's. It was a little tricky out there in some spots. I hit about 143-45 at the end of the parbolica, once hit 4th rev limiter. That was it for me for a while I think, my car will be in the chop shop getting ready for its new birth.

Nick

Nice, sounds like a fun day, sorry to hear about the tires Roy, What made you choose the Falkens over the Kumho's? Just giving an opportunity Roy?

So this Sunday 20.01.2008 are again Touristenfahrten in Hockenheim. They open from 10 a.m. until 3.pm. I will be out again. Like everytime i can write the weather status in here Sunday morning at 8.30a.m.

Michael

Hi Michael
I won't make that one . Got to work on the house and Yard.

I'll be there, I think.

Ben

hmmmm the morning I am free. If I can't go karting.

Ben are you REALLY going? I will have to go to Mainz and pick up the trailer tonight. I need to call and find out if I can have it. I have to be in Friedburg by 1500 though. Give me a ring or I will keep checking here.
