Forget all this group 2 group 3 stuff. If you want to become a better driver, use more tape:

PS: Time trials or better yet actual wheel to wheel racing is where it's at. Short of that, come to the cart track w/us!

10/5/2006 1:04:58 AM

i love how when people are far right they give a point by to pass on their right lol maybe if i brought my off-road tires

10/5/2006 3:40:30 PM

I PASS WHERE I WANT

10/5/2006 3:53:27 PM

I make a pass to whom i want

10/5/2006 4:04:27 PM

i pass gas where i want

10/5/2006 4:38:10 PM

i use as much tape as i want

10/5/2006 6:46:37 PM

i think you have me beat.

hot damn

10/5/2006 8:37:35 PM

What's the deal with all the tape? Covering up holes for aerodynamic purposes? Trying to cover up the paint to keep it from being damaged by pieces of rock going ~60mph?

10/5/2006 9:10:53 PM

rock chips mainly. for headlights, parking lights, paint.

hah, and its not ~60MPH.

the tape actually helps. i put like 2 coats on the headlights.

plus its makes you faster. its "racer" tape

10/5/2006 9:25:10 PM

Even my first gen Teg would hit between 100 and 105 on the front straight at Roebling. Good times...

10/5/2006 9:29:28 PM

i think the front strait wall at roebling road is still undefeated

10/5/2006 9:40:24 PM

That's not my car, btw. My M3 is white and I think rock chips are hot. That pic is some kids signature on bimmerforums and thought it was pretty funny.

Here's another fine example of "racer's tape" being put to good use (and I'm talking about the vette behind my car, I thought they were going to enforce the tape on headlights at summit):

10/5/2006 10:21:52 PM

^your instructor is like "over there, noob"

It's funny that that piece of shit m3 didn't tape his clear turn signals... they needed to be replaced anyway

ive seen them enforcing the tape on headlights only when the weather may be calling for some rain.

10/6/2006 12:24:43 AM

I DRIVE ON ROLLS OF TAPE

10/6/2006 12:43:51 AM

I DRIVE NSX

10/6/2006 9:28:57 AM

i dont use any freaking tape cuz im not a pussy

10/6/2006 10:24:56 AM

Yes, I too am not a pussy.

10/6/2006 10:38:22 AM

my flip-up headlights protect my lenz

10/6/2006 11:08:20 AM

my evo power keeps my headlights protected. no one is ever infront of me

10/6/2006 12:06:24 PM

Evo Power can follow me out of the infield and onto the banking at Rockingham and we'll see who wants tape, plastic, or a bra.

y0 i was up at VIR last year and this husband and wife team rolls up with 2 porsches. i dont remember what kind, kinda looked like ^^, well the wife drove hers there while the husband had his towed with this F250 (or whatever) rig and trailer.

i was like damn nigga talk about $$$$.

and he was damn quick too.

but he was no match for the Hype R in the rain.

here is the wifes car. the husband had a white hardtop. not sure if his was Turbo boost or not

Eh..thanks for ratting me out. I'll take the high road here cus I can't bash a guy that has a Type R (provided its a "real" one). I love those cars too much.

10/6/2006 5:54:26 PM

y0 i wasnt bashing you.

10/6/2006 5:57:54 PM

It probably was real at one point but I'm sure Baonest swapped the motor with a GSR body and then blew a piston.

haha...follow you out of the infield? more like entering the infield as you exit the infield...can't hang with porsche power!

10/6/2006 6:43:03 PM

It's a shame you guys won't be coming to rockingham.

PS: A picture of a car in an HPDE event is a sure sign that the car in front is winning, especially if tape or a bra is utilized.
Ahmet

10/6/2006 8:54:34 PM

What about Home Depot carpet plastic? Thats carrying the concept about as far as you can go.

As for the bra, I'll probably only used it at Rockingham since it seemed to make the car "feel" weird down the straights at both VIR and Roebling. Plus the nose mask was starting to come off and I would have eventually gotten black flagged.

Porsche bra's suck.

P.S. Thinking about Rockingham...work on us some more on Monday.

10/6/2006 9:13:57 PM

why is there two dudes in all the cars? is it that hard to get lost out on roebling rd? or he sitting there pedaling as hard as he can to get that extra 1/2 hp?

10/6/2006 9:38:33 PM

^instructors

10/6/2006 9:59:39 PM

oh. i thought you were a pRoffessional? or you are the instructoR?

10/6/2006 10:17:36 PM

aint no one a pRo.

you've got 2 levels of instructor being with you, then you can drive freely.

its far from real wheel to wheel racing

10/6/2006 11:15:57 PM

INSTRUCTORZZZZZ

10/7/2006 1:01:16 PM

It is possible to "solo" in the first two levels once you have demonstrated an understanding of the dynamics of your car on track, have a "feel" for the track, and obey the rules of traffic and passing. Being offered a solo run is definately a reward for a good weekends work and a good sign that you are progressing as a drive.

10/7/2006 2:22:24 PM

SOLOZZZZZ

10/7/2006 2:24:30 PM

i was at CMP at level one and got written off, after the session, this other kid in an integra was all hoping to get written off this and that. it was probably the worst idea ever. all he did was drive crazy just to mess around with me. it was annoying. i pitted for about a minute so he can get the hell away.

going solo is fun, but no when other people are not putting their lessons they learned to use
