This Saturday (2012-05-19 7:30pmGMT/2:30pmCDT) we'll race 12 laps Road America.
Then we go around Sedona Raceway Park Oval for 25laps.

For the ones with no access to the CG, please have car at hand E/D/C/B class (historic 2-seater) so we can run some Friday night type racing after BMW series.

It was great racing and lots of fun yesterday.
Dave we missed you during BMW series, GRD was too far ahead, I think he needs someone dueling. (Or is he running on a different type of fuel? )
Derek and Seeker were one blue point on the map from my point of view and to fast for me.
I had some duel with sroth and homer but one lost his rear in the last corner early in the race and I ended up 4th.      
OG I'm looking forward you can join some races in the future.
Your CG D-class Fairlady is a well done setup, do you sell in in your shop?  

OP is updated, I'll have to look into the replays and post some pics.

good four wheel drift by derek

Sebring drift

supporting dave to stay on the course

hitting seeker, again this weekend (I try to avoid it next weekend)

I hope next weekend allows me to race.

Yes, I'm pretty sure I posted the D class Fairlady tune but will check it.

Derek hounded me more or less at the distance in that video the whole race. It was pretty darn fun and a tad stressful. 

Aquiel I won't be a target next week for your bumping. Surgery on Thursday and I'll be out of racing for awhile.

I can't make it this or the week after, holidays!

Going to miss it though, good racing with you Seeker, hope your shoulder recovers quickly

[GRD 4 3L]

When he comes back, he is going to be faster because he is going to steer clear of driving on the shoulder . . . (yeah, a bad joke . . .)

Your right, It was too much time on the shoulder that got me into this mess!

[GRD 4 3L]

D, we wish you a speedy recovery . . . (from surgery, of course).

I am getting 2:22s in my recon run at Road America.

2:23,7? my best lap for now, I try to find some tenth if possible (just don't know where).

[GRD 4 3L]

With some tweaking of the set up, all of the understeer is gone and turns nicely after hard braking.  2:20.644.  The key here is, to go fast you must brake early . . .

I'm outdoors with my family so no racing today . . .

[aquiel2k]

It was fun racing yesterday until my live-connection made trouble. All were out of the room and after exiting the race I could not exit the room or get in - I only had this spinning Forza ring. I had to restart the XBox.

Due to the Memorial Day weekend next race will be June 16th.
On 2nd and 9th of June will be LeMans endurance race hosted by GRD.

Did not mean to hijack your Saturday time, aquiel!  I assumed the series would be finished by then.  My mistake.  Sorry!

[aquiel2k]

It's no big deal. I don't see it as hijacking nor as "my Saturday time". 
I see the LeMans endurance race as a great variety the next Saturdays. Also, I had a lot of fun testing some R3s the last days on LeMans. But I haven't yet decided what car to use.
I want to use a race car, but these cars are quite "slow" on LeMans track, maybe I have to go with a sports car.

We digress from the BMW series (there's a separate thread for LeMans), but it has to be a proper LeMans race car, not a production sports car.  We can have "fun" with production sports car but the race will be limited to non-production race cars.
