You don't get that for free, you have to come to Summer Camp to get it :) As for Bob, that was the potent combination of a fast driver in a fast car. Every few years, we have a really fast person show up. John Hunter has been quick in the past and if Dan Pedroza ever manages to put down a quick lap then I think we'll see some spectacular numbers. I should have put the Traqmate in Bob's car to see what he was doing.
He's done a lot of really interesting detail work on it, and it's far from a bolt-on catalog special. It's the attention to setup that makes the difference between a quick car and a really fast one. I'd love to try his wheel/tire combo (225/45-15 RA1s on 15x9s) to see how they compare to the skinnier-wheel version I'm used to.

Almost 400 hp and a really good driver is a pretty good combo for taking lap records. And Bob and Kim drove down from Washington on RA1s. If Bob hadn't nuked his (number 7?) trans he might have taken the overall car record, which he was uncomfortably close to. I need to start pedaling faster. BTW, Tom Heath (from GRM) was rotating between cars, his time in the Westfield was from the one and only time he drove the car on track (3 hot laps), so he's a fast learner. You shoulda oughta been there.

I also see that Bob Bundy apparently had a very good day, judging from lap times. Can somebody (Bob, Keith, Bill) elaborate on Bob's set-up? What was it that made him so stinkin' fast? If you can beat a 300hp Caterham (Skip) with a Miata, you're doing something right. _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower _______________________________________________ Miatapower mailing list [email protected] http://list.miatapower.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/miatapower
