Whoever might be interested ... here's the on-board videos from my three runs ... 6-7megs each ... you will need the DivX decoder (http://www.divx.com), I've used the 4.01 version which had just been released, should work with 4.0, though ...

If I could have just gotten 1 more good run and not a DNF I was coming for you Roy...LOL... Man I am tired........

I think I pull those down at work since I get a higher connection speed there. Garry, I am glad to see that you made it home alright.

George I feel bad that all the fbody's there got spanked by a Focus.

Good job!!! what is up with the focus?

Roy · **Posted:** Sun Sep 16, 2001 7:21 pm

Bruce
The Focus Out drove be cause we suck. No it was mor like the course was setup for the smaller nimble cars . I pretty much believe he was giving it his all . As for us All can say is next time maybe the course will be setup for speed next time .

What happened to the Porsches???

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Sep 17, 2001 7:19 am

Jack
the Porsches are in a different class . If they wern't we would realy suck. The fast ones are running about 30+ seconds faster. I do believe there is not a Fbody or vette mod for mod that can hang in the Slalom with these cars.

Garry · **Posted:** Mon Sep 17, 2001 8:04 am

Also, they had a mean course set up this time - remember, an F-Body is "slightly" longer and wider than a Porsche - and they had one or two places set up to slow down a Porsche, so ... George, Roy and me had the largest cars there yesterday ... even the 'vette is a good two or three inches smaller in the width, and possibly a bit shorter, too (not too sure about that though) ... Oh well ... fun none the less ... just wait for Fulda ... we'll be setting up a bit more for speed

Unfortunately, you're right, Roy, especially the ones that are AWD. That's when the straights come in handy!!

Jack you might want to watch out for a burgundy Porsche 911
that has a Ruf Conversion . The car only puts out 550 hp stock on a single turbo. I do think this one would crush us to hell and back . Top speed 190 plus

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Mon Sep 17, 2001 12:33 pm

Any Porsche with 550 HP would tear us up. HOLY MOLY..... :O

Roy I talked to that guy after we were talking about it yesterday. His car is a Bi-Turbo car. He said they are both the same size so that is the reason for the lag....

Roy · **Posted:** Mon Sep 17, 2001 2:58 pm

Yeah
I got my model years mixed up on the Rufs. Plus I was going off of hearsay also.

I stand corrected.

Hey that Convert. Camaro in #5, was that Garry... George?

Garry · **Posted:** Wed Sep 19, 2001 5:46 pm

Yup ... George was faster, but had two DNFs out of the three runs ...

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2001 7:29 am

What caused the DNFs???

I was getting cone fever. There were so many cones and I did not understand the layout. I would run one and think I had it and then it would be a DNF. I figured it out on my last run, which was faster than Roy and Garry but I needed 2 to score. The first 2 were DNF's. Oh well I had fun....

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2001 9:50 am

One more next month, right!! If it is set up the same way, you should be g-2-g!

99taws6 · **Joined:** Sat May 26, 2001 6:35 pm **Posts:** 954

I do not think that there is one next month. The track is different everytime. It is easy sometimes and a biatch like the last one.....Hey I got 1 lap better than Roy and for being an amateur I am happy. I just need to be consistant. Roy, I hate to use you as a comparison, but you are the man......
