  1. Does anyone else have "Wearing a big pilot" as a workout goal?
  2. Can I call dibs on the 89 if you want to get rid of it? I think they look great.

    Congrats erwinner!!!!
  4. Switched straps on the fiddy. Also tinkered with the CG a little.
  5. I take protein, ZMA, and MSM (thanks lani for the MSM recommendation!). Don't see the need for anything more since I work out just for fun.
  6. Oh yeah, the "ultimate" 183 that Angus carries has an AR-coating that is damn close to gen.
  7. Well you are certainly the first experienced racer I've encountered to promote early apexing. First time for everything. There are plenty of drivers far more talented than I who probably don't need to abide by classical driving techniques to get around quickly and win. Hats off to you if you're one of them. Advising the average Joe like myself however, to early apex, is in my opinion, dangerous advice.
  8. Downhill turns are fun...every survival instinct screaming at you to slow down, yet your brain is screaming at you just as loudly to keep feeding in more throttle to make it through.
  9. Actually, if you early apex, chances are you're going to run wide at the exit unless you sacrifice your exit speed significantly. “If the signs point to an early apex (or another problem), you have to instantly switch your concerns from driving through the corner faster to driving away from the corner with the car in one piece.” - Carl Lopez (author of Skip Barber Racing School's manual) Although, depending on the track (for example if you have a long straight, followed by a sequence of 2 close turns) you can early apex to maximize your time on the long straight, and since the next turn comes up right away, your LOWER speed is of no consequence and it can lead to an overall quicker lap (since the time spent under full throttle of the preceding straight is more valuable) Of course, in a racing situation, an early apex can be a defensive move to protect track position as well. And really, wheel-to-wheel, there really is no set line.
  10. CBR, glad to hear you had a great time. Welcome to the club of converting money into heat and noise.

    V's new CGs

    I can't wait to get this baby on a 252 I just ordered.
  12. My wrist is smaller than yours. It seems to look funny when I'm just looking at my wrist, but from farther away in a mirror, I love the look of it.
  13. The ammo strap really works on it...have you given it a shot on your wrist?
  14. After my experience with a Cartier "rubber" bezel which turned out to be plastic, I think I'll hold off on this.
  15. Lani, if you're getting another ROO already, I'm calling dibs on your current one!
