FM4 Friday Night Race - Month of June: Mazda Miata 400PI w/ Sports Tires

[sroth88]

I put down a clean 9:58.4 that should be competitive.

GRD,  can't find the 2013 Dodge Viper.

[Nunzie]

Ok, got it. It's under Viper, not Dodge.

[OG Wretch]

Sad I missed the racing but by the time I got in I wasn't up to it.

I really did want to run The Ring too but I guess I should be happy to get one evening a week to myself for online racing.

[D Seeker34]

Missed having you there OG.

Good racing guys. Enjoyed the evening.

I wish I read the "fine print" and prepaired a car for the 'Ring. I had two tunes; one for Suzuka (sp?) and the other for Tsubuka.

Like I said last night, I probably would have had the same lap times regardless.

Great racing last night. That 2013 Viper needs some down-force in the rear.

Thanks for the clean racing!

Did the same thing and practiced Tsubuka all week. We'll were ready for next Friday anyhow

Sorry about the confusion, guys!  I will be mindful of being more clear in the future.

Thanks for coming out to the races!  Miata races are very competitive and we stay together for many laps which is great.  Close racing = good racing.

We all know next Friday's race = Tsukuba Full Track x 50 laps (no Tsukuba Short track race).

That brings end to June races already!  I already have the hot July car picked out.  Just to whet your appetite, it will be raced STOCK with no upgrades (but tuning will be allowed).  We will have a shakedown practice after the Tsukuba race.  It is a great handling/performing car even in stock.

Glad you guys had a great race, i need to get internet at the river. hate missing out on races. Even if I am on vacation, was a good trip. Nothing like having the river to yourself, middle of the night smooth as glass.  Run your ski as fast and as far as you want.

 See ya guys wednsday...... Medi

For all those who tuned and practiced for Tsukuba, the day of reckoning has arrived.

Better tune & practice to hit 1:06 lap times to have a chance at podium!

This one is easily going to take 1 hour so we will vote on whether to pit or not.

[Medik8d]

Going to be a tough race, saw your 1:06 lap time. Quickest lap I can get is 1:07 going to take some work, to get down to your times.

I'm not sure I can make tonights race due to some over use Today trying to troubleshoot the folks 04' TDI Passat.

So far I've broken one bowl and dropped my water glass twice which luckily is plastic...
...the floor needed cleaning anyway.

Anyway, I don't see me hold a controller for very long if at all. 

[GRD 4 3L]

OG, if you join, I'll knock down the laps to 30!

Race #2/3 is going to be practice of tomorrow's Lotus 111s race (Hockenheim National & Silverstone International, 10 laps each).

Race #4 is going to be July Series car shakedown (Mugello, 10 laps).

[OG Wretch]

Thanks GRD but I believe I'm just going to lay back down and rest tonight.

[GRD 4 3L]

It was a night full of races.

50 lapper at Tsukuba was tough!  At the end, Medik8d prevailed after GRD missed 2 pit attempts!  Still, the time separating the two was only 6 seconds after almost an hour of racing!

Sroth & Seeker had a fantastic back & forth race for the entire 50 laps!

Congratulations to all!  That brings close to our Mazda MX-5 June Series.

In the 2nd set of races, we practiced for Saturday's aquiel2k's Lotus 111s at Hockenheim and Silverstone.  Fantastic car!

For the 3rd set of races, there was a shakedown of the Friday night race car for the month of July = Ferrari 355 Challenge - Stock.  This car is relatively inexpensive but handles great as is.  In stock form, the suspension can still be adjusted so have at it!

Thank you all for participating in the June Fright Night race series.

Oh, jase180x joined really late, and we had a good romp!  He staged couple of drag racing and he's got some fast drag cars; I got my ass kicked.  On circuit/road tracks, that's a different story . . .
