PITTL event #2 @ the Hersey center

Well I sucke3d big time ... the course was great course I just had a terrible off day (and the r compounds paid the price) I think my fastest time was a 56.....(which sucked) ohhh well after too bad outings for PITTL I think I'll stick to just getting seat time ... there is no way I'll take rookie or novice in this.... on to the regionals in brampton on sunday ....


and Hello Finboy I know your lurking out there ... who was the corse designer this time? it was a great challenging course for me...

I sucked *** today too.
I have my KYBs on the front and my old struts on the back, and I just kept scrubbing!

couldn't get the car to hang properly.
balance was totally off.

looking forward to having the KYBs on the back

super challenging course... i still don't know if i have it down in my head right.

I had a fun fun time today. The course was long and fast. I didn't fare too well but I did run a 56 (on street tires) and the car was set just right.

1niceSi and I had fun making my front-wheel drive car go sideways around the slalom at an insane rate of speed.

Talking

Great course!! Nice and fast but yet very technical!
Still waiting on my time for my last run, seemed to be my best except for the end.

Managed a 55.222 , but I think the last run was better.

Don't think sam & I have much of a chance in our group seeing as we are running with turbo miata's but its all for fun anyway!

We'll see. All in all great event , burnt the **** out of my neck but oh well.

Ryan I think the extra seat time on the course really helped . We should try it again for the next one

I'll do better next time after I've had a chance to think about what went wrong the whole weekend for me, I think I have to just relax a bit more and not over drive the car.

Agreed buddy. You were taking it a bit too serious I think. The best thing to do is just have fun with it and you'll find it pays off.

Cool

Interesting don't you think

Civic's can beat a turbo or supercharged miata's.

Stock Civic's CAN and will beat B-swapped Civics. It's not about the car, it's about the driver!

I personally have gone to events and set ftd in my stock crx.

PITTL (and the regionals) attrack some of the best solo drivers in Ontario, so if you are thinking that you are going to win in one of your first events....you've been mislead. It took me more than 20 events before I squeaked out a class win!

It's all about the seat time. Some of the Civic's I saw on Saturday have LONG way to go before they are going to be competitive. Actually most of the Civic's that were there on Saturday would have got beat by cars in B-Stock!

Power does not make you go fast, power eats tires!

By the way I think they put that orange crx with the b16 & Jackson SC in B mod
Once you're even slightly competitve in the wrong class, someone WILL notice and you will be moved (or told to go home for trying to cheat)

Yes he should have been in C-Mod along with all the other B-swapped Civic's

Well said tranny

I do agree its about the driver not too much about the car.
I never thought that I would be going for a win specially considering its my first year out.

Like I said earlier just out for some fun and too learn as much as I can and to see some of my buds from the club.

Maybe I'll see you at the next event on Jul 19th come by and say hi
