PEP Racing Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Hey Brian, PEP Racing (Phil Trau) here (only Volvo driver in HPDE). Nice video...clean laps! It was nice talking with you at the end of the event on Sunday. Are you running at Infineon with NCRC on Dec. 27th? I'm hoping to make a Laguna event soon. Keep in touch!

evofan0717 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Does anyone out there have video from group 1&2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notpettersolberg Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Two of my friends have videos from group 1/2. If they get them digitized, I'll see about posting them up on here. Phil, do you have that silver wagon with the "type R" license plate frame You were turning some pretty nice laps, IMHO. I was in the white WRX following behind you for a while in the last session on Sunday. You were setting a very good pace. My friend and I enjoyed it when you smoked your inside tire coming out of turn 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEP Racing Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 THANKS! I was so jacked to have 45 hp more to play with since the last time I was at Infineon...but I realized quickly that more hp just made smoking the tires around some of the turns even easier! I could have used some WRX all-wheel drive for sure! We were moving pretty well in that the last session IMHO. I always drive the line best at the end of the day for some reason. Are you coming out to run Infineon with NCRC on Dec. 27th? It should be a blast...the last before New Years! Keep in touch.

BrianZ Posted November 25, 2003 Author Share Posted November 25, 2003 Did anyone else notice how slippery the track was? Jon the track was slippery? I didnt notice. on sunday I set a personal best lap time of 2:02 in my car (and that was with a pasenger). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clock Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Did anyone else notice how slippery the track was? Jon I had some of my drivers for the 25 testing the car in hpde 4 saturday. They all thought it was slick. It looked like plenty of rubber has been laid down since the repave, but it was just REALLY cold that dday. The track probably never came up to temp.

Icehawk Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Yeah, although a bit chilly, it was a blast out there. I was running the '66 Lotus Elan in group 1&2 and can't wait to give it a go in group 3 next February. I would recommend HPDE to anyone, and will likely make it mandatory for my kids when they get to driving age. It forces increased awareness and improves overall driving skills. Plus where else are you told to go over curbs (rumble strips) at 90 mph+ ? -Jeff As a side note, kudos to Steve and Brian for having great patience for the variety of drivers out there and making sure that everyone at the downloads learns from any one driver's error.

Thames Thames- Yeah, your brakes (and reactions) kick butt. Order of thoughts as that spin occurred...1) shit this car is toast, I am going to hit a wall.....2) If I don't hit a wall, one of the 4 cars behind me will probably skewer me 3) Is my life insurance paid in full? Seriously though, the lesson learned there was no matter how well I take a turn and set up to pass... I can not fully predict what the person ahead of me will do. Always expect the unexpected. See you in Feb -Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreco Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 speaking of order of thoughts. My first day in HPDE, I spun out at turn 8. The only thought before I hit the tires was......My wife is going to be pissed. The last thing she told me before I left to the track was "don't wreck the car!" Luckily the damage wasn't to bad, just replaced the front fender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
