Smokies event # 3
Re: Smokies event # 3
I forgot how rough the lot was at the stadium. I had a great time, STM has some great competition and positive attitudes. I hated that lot last year when I was NA but with power it was much more enjoyable. Great job guys!
Re: Smokies event # 3
I usually hate Smokies, but that was the best course I've driven there. Great event!
It's gonna be a good battle in STM this year for sure.

It's better than it used to be. I will say without a doubt traveling over the drains into and out of the lower lot is much smoother the opposite direction.90civichb wrote:I forgot how rough the lot was at the stadium.
It was a fun day. 5 runs, done in time for eats and get the gear unloaded before dark.

With 3 events in the books, pro has 3 different winners. Pro is shaping up to be a good battle, now to get Randy in pro....

Re: Smokies event # 3
I haven't run the numbers, but I think Randy would either be leading in Pro or very close to the top considering he would have finished in the top three at all three events.

Re: Smokies event # 3
Course looked good from the look I had at it. Big thanks to Brian and Ariel for towing the BMW home after its brake failure. Replacing the hardlines stem to stern is going to be super fun before the next event.
That transition going up from the lower lot is quite the unsettling bump!

Yep, we had to brake early and less hard than we wanted to in the Mustang to avoid pissing off the ABS.

Sucks on the brake line. If you need to borrow a line bending tool I have one around here somewhere. It works better than a WD40 can... Yes, I have used both. Get the proper tool to bend the lines, trust me.benk wrote: That transition going up from the lower lot is quite the unsettling bump!
I altered my line to hit it about 2/3rds the way to the left. No where near the proper line. And my best time was doing all my braking before I hit it so I could turn at the pointer and have a chance of being close to the first cone in the slalom. Can any of the course workers say how far off the ground the kart was? Scott Gibson, please ignore any answers to that question. Also, any cone that has gone under the kart, into the wheels, etc. the darn thing STOPS even when I am foot to the floor downshifting, trying to accelerate off the cone. Sorry folks working the bottom of the hill turn around for taking out the wall on my first run. I hope it was spectacular to watch
From the passenger seat of the rallycross Neon... what bumps??? That thing rides like a Barcalounger while listening to some sweet jazz. Although I do need to figure out what is clunking up in the front. Its supposed to have -2 degrees on each side not -1.25 and -2.75. Another close look at the sub-frame bolts is on the list.
