Good idea, I think it will be to cold for them, might not get up to temp.

[Airbalancer]

I will watch out for you guy head east down the 401 as I am head west to Oshawa.
If you see a green pick up with a couple of ladders on top that me.

This is probably intuitive - I don't think I'll put my new R - compounds on for the track tomorrow... :crying:I am using my A032Rs tomorrow. What did you get again, the new A048?

They seem to be pretty good in the rain. I've been driving on them for a week and it's been raining a lot recently. No probs in the rain even when they are cold.

I was surprised how well my R's got up to temp when I was heat cycling them in a parking lot Thursday night. It was only 2 degrees out and within 3 or 4 laps of the lot there was an amazing difference in grip as the tires got up to temp. I went from sliding like in the wet to so much grip that my neck was getting sore.

[Yorgi]

Weather Network:
Morning POP 20% 3°C - Cloudy with sunny breaks
Afternoon POP 60% 7°C - Cloudy with showers (less than 1 mm)

Environment Canada:
Cloudy with 40 percent chance of showers. Rain beginning in the evening. Wind becoming northeast 20 km/h late in the morning. High 8.

So no rivers hopefully.

Yeah - A048's - Staying at home, going to burn the $#!+ out of the Pontenza's - need new street rubber next year anyway... Curt can't make it tomorrow, I have a new pump for you...

LOL...You remembered the pump? Cool. I bough an $8.49 Canadian Tire compact special yesterday just in case. I love how small that thing is; I'm going to leave it in my car.

[STALKER]

Looks like it could be another wet day.
Not good news for Cabrio, that makes 3 for 3.

[Yorgi]

Wet track days are better than dry days in many ways.

Since traction is so much lower in the corners you can practice driving at the limit with a much lower speed; so if you do get it wrong you will leave the track at a much lower speed (or maybe not at all) which is a very good thing. It really teaches you to be smooth too. Plus it's a lot easier on your tires, brakes and other suspension parts.

The big drawback, especially like now when it's cold, is the crappy time you have once you are in the pits. Cold + wet sucks when you are standing around.

[Yorgi]

Not good news for Cabrio, that makes 3 for 3.
I guess we can call him the Rainmeister. :thumbsup:

[Yorgi]

Another thing to remember for anyone still awake that is coming tomorrow.

It really sucks standing around in the cold when it's wet. Dampness goes right though most coats so make sure you bring lots of layers and very warm shoes.

A tarp is a good idea plus an umbrella.

Hope we can get a bit of a sunny break tomorrow...really tired of this rain...

Hello Everyone,

I was at Shannonville yesterday with you guys in the Blue MINI. Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for the invite. It was a great time and we really l***** out with the weather. Car was running great overall, being there all day I had a pretty good opportunity to try out some new lines. I didn't get a chance to run the Long track that much as I got there a little late but the Pro was good as I haven't run this layout in a long time. Also thanks to Frank for timing my laps during my last session. It was pretty cool having someone call out the lap times from the passenger seat. The last session was pretty slick with the drizzle but my best time ended up being a 1:24.1. Times were getting better lap after lap but then it was getting really greasy so I came in. I've never had my laps timed before but at least now I have a bit of a barometer. Anyone want to share any times for the Pro track? I'm just curious as to how the MINI compares. Thanks again, looking forward to lapping with you all next year.

cheers

Great having you out Amit and the Mini looked amazing going through turn 1 after the front straight. I brought my in-car lap timer and I would have lent it to you to use if I had remembered. The only problem is the sending unit has to sit outside at the pit wall, so in drizzly weather, I'm not sure it would be so good getting wet!
Can't compare against the M3, but my times for Pro track are in the 1.19.5's.

[djafactor]

I just got my new exhaust put on a month ago and it does make the car scream, the combo with the supercharger whine is intense at WOT. Glen, 1:19 is in the dry right? I'm wondering what the MINI will do in the dry? Usually how many secs difference do u find between your wet and dry times? Can you give me a link to the timing device you use? I go to Shannonville so often now that timing would make things more interesting. What mods have u done to your M, I didn't get a chance to check out your car. Also if you are ever in MTL, drop me a line if you are free, we could meet up for a drink. I live on the corner of StLaurent on Sherbrooke.

well yesterday was dry! I didn't time yesterday, but I don't think my times would be far off that from the summer. I don't know my wet times...
The in-car timer is called Hot Laps and is made by Longacre. You can get it at online race supply shops like Pegasus and OG racing for about $250 US.

the scream along the front straight from the superchargers were loud!

I'm in MTL next week actually. PM me your cell phone and if I can get away from family stuff I'll give you a buzz. Maybe hit the bar Thursday night?

Rick!!!!!!!!!!

[glenspeed]

Incidentally, Trevor was driving Peter's SLK and down the back straight I could not pull on him...damn that car was fast. I was not gaining one inch down the whole distance.

200lbs lighter and about same torque is what I attribute that to...would be interesting to see how Pej's car would do in the same situation.

[djafactor]

well yesterday was dry!

True yesterday was dry, the last session I ran though was a bit slick with the drizzle so it was difficult at times to guage the grip. This was my first experience driving in semi-wet. I've driven in full wet and all out downpours, yesterday was a bit tricky cause it was kind-of that in-between stage. The track conditions were a bit deceptive making me a bit over confident at times because the track looked ok. I had to recalculate my brain and slow things down. I think conditions like this is where you are more likely to run into trouble. You are still driving your "dry" line but with different variables.

Can't wait to see the pics!

Glen, nice mods! Next summer I would greatly appreciate a ride.

Amit

[glenspeed]

can't wait for a ride in the Cooper S as well Amit...

Shame on you Glen. Letting a little Benz get away.

[glenspeed]

Shame on you Glen. Letting a little Benz get away.

he WAS holding me up in the turns and wouldn't get out of my way...

it will be interesting to see how your car does next year against mine and now Peter's car for comparison...

[STALKER]

Yup, but your driving skills make up for any advantage in the straights.
Im really looking forward to getting it out there. Im trying to see where I can cut some weight too, but I can't find any CSL seats, I dont want to go Recaros, and the CF roof is not an option cause I will not do with out my moonroof. Oh well. We have to get Yansha out there and see what the AA kit is like. Glad it didn't rain, especially for Cabrio's sake, lol.

[glenspeed]

Yansha's car would be very interesting to see...

What about Recaro Pole Positions? You can get them upholstered in leather too. I know Sparco makes a tilting seat mechanism. Maybe that would fit and allow you access to rear seats too...

[webbie]

Try mosport back straight next year, you guys can walk over me up and down.

It was awesome yesterday, I have been driving non-stop, lap after lap for almost an hour after lunch.

Everybody follows the rule, make it the safest event I ever been to.

Actually, we were waiting for you to take some videos. :)

Peter's SLK will perform better in the turns with better tires. It's still running stock tires run now.

[Axxe]

Awesome event. The rain man just needs to slow up a bit in the pits :D

Go marathon lappers!! The only reason I came off in 45 mins is because I ran out of fuel, trying to run a light load (25L max). Good fun, hope to see all you guys next season, and hopefully I'll have some manly tires on by then.

Any word on the pics? I'm looking for some new wallpaper and all my co-workers don't beleive that my old beater got a thrashing on the track :D

[STALKER]

Looking forward to next season. New track wheels were delivered today.
PICS????

[Yorgi]

I feel asleep at 9pm Monday night so no chance to even look at the pics on my camera. (taken by Slava, not me) :D

I did not take any pics myself since I had 2 other full time photographers there. Here are a few from Ilia. (this was his first time shooting cars at the track)

Shannonville Photos (http://ilia.ws/gallery/shanonville_2005-11-24)

I'll get Slava's up tomorrow night. He took some very nice shots.

[STALKER]

Nice pics.

[Yorgi]

I love this shot. Here is an example of a good suspension (Glen's) vs a semi-stock 330Ci suspension (I have H&R sways only). Note Glen is flat and I'm tipping like the Titanic.Glenspeed and Yorgi (http://ilia.ws/gallery/shannonville-2005-11-24-gt4/IMG_7957)

[STALKER]

I actually noticed that aswell. We'll just say you were travelling at a much higher speed and that was causing the excessive lean.

Im surprised the SLK is lighter, that roof and all its magical pumps must add a good amount of weight to it, then again, it is tiny.

[Yorgi]

Anyone want to share any times for the Pro track? I'm just curious as to how the MINI compares.AmitI was doing mid 1:21's to mid 1:22's during my last pro track session with a passenger. It was starting to drizzle a little then but I did not find the conditions were any worse than the rest of the day.

Specs:
H&R front and rear sway bar
Stock 330Ci sport suspension
OMP front strut tower bar
UUC Stainless brake lines
Carbotech XP9 race pads front/rear

Yoko A032R Hard Compound tires 245/45-17 all around

[STALKER]

Rick,
How were the Yokos??

[Yorgi]

Rick,
How were the Yokos??
They were great. Like Glen said I think they will last forever. Very little wear after one day.

I think the A032R probably has just a little less grip than the Dunlop SSRs. The Yokos were 245/45 vs the 225/45 Dunlops so overall the A032Rs stuck a little better once they were hot but it took at least 2 laps before they got up to temp. They are a very good beginner tire since they last so long and are just a little less sticky then something like the Toyo RA1 or the Dunlop.

The Toyo RA1 is still my fav tire for the track by far. Very sticky, lasts forever and can take a lot of heat cycles before getting hard. They cost about 1.5x the A032Rs though.

[STALKER]

They Yokos don't come in 18" size unfortunately.
How many track dates did you get out of the Toyos? I hear the Michelin R rated Pilot Sport Cups have really good wear aswell.

[STALKER]

My next question, what you doing up at 4:30am????

[glenspeed]

The AO32R's are now discontinued I think and replaced by the AO48R. You might consider that Pej...I haven't heard that the PSC's wore that well and they are expensive!

[glenspeed]

Great pics! Like how he organized by car into each album...now where's mine???

More pics!! Rick we gotta book these guys for Fastlaps next June!

There are tones of shots of your car Glen don't worry. He took a lot of those cool close-ups like Rost likes to take. They look really good at first glance. I will put them up tonight for sure. Lots of Mini shots too. woot

[Yorgi]

My next question, what you doing up at 4:30am????I fell asleep early and woke up at 3am..lol
:sick:

I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the pics.

Hi Yorgi - wow that's a lot to get thru. If you come across any of my little black E30 leaning haaaard into those turns - I'd very much appreciate seeing them.
Thanks in advance

kam[shaft]

[djafactor]

Lots of Mini shots too. woot

Great! Can't wait to see these. It's funny as I don't have any pics of my car except for the day I picked it up at the dealer and at the track. I need to get "The Beast" all cleaned up and take some shots. In contrast I have about 200 pics of my old MINI. Here is a great shot from Mecaglisse last month (photo taken by Benoit LeFeovre of MTL). My passenger had never been on-track in her life, her face was priceless.

as far as I'm concerned the pics you guys take are magazine quality. I love how the action and spirit of the moment is captured. awesome stuff...keep it up.

btw, welcome to the board Kamus, djafactor and Axxe!!! Good to have more trackers on this board!!! woot woot woot

[Axxe]

Thanks for the welcome. I love to lap and you guys have excellent events. Expect to see me a lot.

BTW The pictures are sexcellent. I hope there are some more of my track rat whipped

I look into it, we see how long the eagles hold up, Im hoping they will last at least from April 06 to Oct 06, Im sure they will be gone after that though. Rs for 07 season though.

[STALKER]

We should look into getting a track date at the new track near Ottawa too. Preferably when Im in town.

[djafactor]

Thanks for the welcome, it's always great to meet new track-rats. Just curious as to you guys running R Compounds, who many events are you getting out of them? I'm running the Toyo RA1s and have two dry events, one down pour, and the Monday semi-dry event. I know the more they heat cycle the worse they get. Tread still looks good and they aren't blistering anywhere. My last set of Rs were Hankooks, after 6 evening events they were blistering all over the place. Toyos are way better. I actually haven't bothered to take the Toyos off yet since Monday, everybody is looking at me all crazy. Nutter with big balloons on 15" wheels...ha!

I lost count of how many heat cycles I had on my AO32R's, but even at the end when they were completely slicks they were still better than street rubber. The Dunlop SSR's so far have seen 4 dry events and 1 wet. They should be good for another 2 dry.

Just found this. Good news.

Thanks for the welcome, it's always great to meet new track-rats. Just curious as to you guys running R Compounds, who many events are you getting out of them?My Dunlops lasted 1 wet and 3 dry days this year. These were all private track rentals so there was a lot of track time on each day. I ruined my left front at the Mosport Driver Development Track (it has a few very slow right-hand corners) back before I installed my stiffer swaybars, otherwise they would have lasted another day or two for sure. The other 3 tires had about 30% tread left.

My RA1s would typically last 1.5 seasons back when I used them. Usually 6 or 7 events per year. They were on a 944S2 and the events were 2 day Porsche Club or 3 day BMW Club driving schools plus one private track rental.

You can use RA1s until they cord. They are amazing in the dry once they wear down to slicks.

hmm, might be in the future, depending on price. Where is the cheapest place to get them? I heard really good things about Michelin Pilot Sport Cups. The new Yokos are the same price as the Michelins.

What a great track day. Thanks to all who arranged the meet, and thanks to the camera man for the solid pics. I'm sorry I haven't mentioned any names here but I'm just starting to figure out who's who on this forum lol.

Now that I've seen my car LEAN like a SOB, I'm fully aware that I need a full suspension kit, and a seat to keep my butt from flying out the window (Pej can vouch for that lol). Still, the Goblin's doing pretty well for a fully stock civic. If ya'll can believe it, I bought it two years ago at 100K, put 80K more including 3 track days, and all I've done is oil changes and tires. Like a rock baby.

Amit,
Nice meeting you and thanks again for a SICK ride in the mini. That thing is amazing. Gives new meaning to the term "pocket rocket".

Axxe,
How the **** did you get that old car to go THAT fast? I still can't believe it.

Pej,
Missed you buddy. Wasn't the same without the most menacing M3 to ever hit the track, along with the "I ain't scare of you MoFos" driver.

Warren,
Highest score for endurance goes to you. What was it, like 50 hot laps at the end there? And you said you were tired at lunch... psshhh!

Good times boyz!

Glad you had a good time bros.
