Does anyone else have "Wearing a big pilot" as a workout goal?

Love the strap on the 112 too.

Can I call dibs on the 89 if you want to get rid of it? I think they look great.

Congrats erwinner!!!!

I really love my pams.

Switched straps on the fiddy. Also tinkered with the CG a little.

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.

Oh yeah, the "ultimate" 183 that Angus carries has an AR-coating that is damn close to gen.

Are you asking ME what track and turn?

Laguna Seca, turn 10 is where I spun.

Nope, jojo35.

Switched beaters to my Daytona for Wednesday

Awesome pic!

Check out the AR on these guys.

Loving the fiddy on ammo.

Just curious, which track and turn was this?

You're right, I must have been doing it wrong all that time. I'll have to give back all those first place trophies and the championship

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.

Um, yeah... Im gonna go with do your damndest to keep it off the wall at 130mph!

Theres nothing quite like the corkscrew to get your panites in a bundle! I had seen these turns on television a hundred times and had no idea what to expect... WOW.

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.

"An early apex is used to maximize the acceleration out onto the following straight" By braking late and clipping an early apex, you could be hammering on the throttle while the other guy is still slowing down

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.

Enjoy, brake late, and apex early

Friends don't let friends early apex.

CBR, glad to hear you had a great time. Welcome to the club of converting money into heat and noise.

I can't wait to get this baby on a 252 I just ordered.

I used to have a 1950 (& a few other Pans), but I always thought it looked silly on my 7" wrist. So I sold them all (Pans). I still think they are cool watches, just not for me.

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.

I do not generally give pocketwatch-sized watches a second glance anymore, but I have to say that your Fiddy/strap combo makes for a great picture. If only they made the 1950 (gen & rep) in a more wristwatch-like 40mm size I would still own 1.......

The ammo strap really works on it...have you given it a shot on your wrist?

Fiddy on Ted Su ammo.

After my experience with a Cartier "rubber" bezel which turned out to be plastic, I think I'll hold off on this.

Lani, if you're getting another ROO already, I'm calling dibs on your current one!

I assume you are talking about Goodwood? 15 minutes from me mate! I haven't been in a Kart in a long time mate, would have loved to move up to a formula car but its an expensive hobby. Even more expensive than this one!

Nope. Mosport.
