it's mostly to discourage racing and play racing, at the end of the day it is a lapping day not a NASA time attack or sccbc wheel to wheel race. I'm sure the majority of us don't have a roll cage in our cars, we're still just out there for fun and we're representing ffdxtss/vcmc/vancouver whether we like it or not... let's not be complete tools out there, be safe.

Looks almost like Clarkson did it.

My previous track days running in the Fiesta and Miata gave me an appreciation for the "slow car fast" sort of fun, but the concentration required to tame the unforgiving Porsche and perpetual fear of wrecking a high dollar car felt like very rewarding in itself.

Here's an embarrassing video of me spinning out at the carousel


Thanks as always to Kchan and the Speed Syndicate crew for getting this ever growing community together. I would not have had as good a time if it weren't for the majority of my track buddies running at the same event and being able to ride/give rides to one another.

Girly dangly bits give me more HP, if those so easily distract you from driving, perhaps you shouldn't even be going to lap days. I've had all that shit on for the past year and going to lapping days without any issues whatsoever, the only time I've been black flagged to go back in was I left a sports towel in the rear and having it fly around.

Or may be you can be a better driver and better read the situation if you did't have to peek to your right.

BTW. Those do not block your view whatsoever because I believe you have typical newbie problem, tunnel vision.

good topic for discussion

Pretty sure I heard tire squeal when you braked and down shifted for T11.

You better work on that heal toe or else next time you may end up in the weeds.

SumAznGuy 09-11-2015 09:22 AM
I must say, last weekend was interesting.
Wife and I stayed in Lacey, which was nice since it is 1 hr south of PR and 35 minutes west of Ridge.

But on our way down, wife and I was 1 block away at a Chevron getting gas when this shooting happened.

Everett teen charged in shooting of boy, girl over gang colors | The Seattle Times

We saw so many police vehicles and first responders and we knew something bad had happened.

trollguy 09-11-2015 09:31 AM
gang colours.. damn... serious business in Everett.

note to self: dont go to everett

kchan 09-11-2015 09:35 AM

lots of room to improve on laptime especially if I can get a clean lap without sand and oil at turn 3 and 4

funny thing about this lap is that i pulled the least amount of lateral g force (1.41) compared to my other laps where I managed to pull (2.0g) but it also seems to be my fastest lap of the morning

tires were done by the afternoon

and this was driven by my friend Arthur:

for those interested you can double up both videos with this link:

Make sure first video plays 1 second earlier

So I did a comparison between the 2014 and 2015 Ridge. New turn 13 should just add 1-1.5 sec to the whole lap time.

And who says Front wheel drive is fail wheel drive

do a split screen of both your gauges falling out :p

Going to be attending my first-ever track event on Oct 10 @ Pacific with Proformance!

A friend originally registered for their US$395 Intro to Sport Lapping event on Oct 11 @ Pacific, but it was cancelled/turned into a private event. They didn't tell him this until I went to register and we asked them though. :rukidding:

Anyways we ended up registering together for Oct 10 but at US$555 each. Pricey but it sounds like some of you (Westopher?) have good experiences with them, and hopefully the actual HPDE experience will make up for the communication issues so far.

Traum 09-30-2015 10:27 AM
Instruction from the ProFormance crew is top notch. The $555 price tag may sound pricey, esp given how wimpy our loonie is right now. But I can assure you that you are going to have an awesome time.

dared3vil0 09-30-2015 11:03 AM
That's like $700CAD for an HPDE. Yikes.

Traum 09-30-2015 11:06 AM
Well, I wouldn't call it an HPDE / track day. It is really more like a school because you are accompanied by a professional instructor the whole time.

boatcaptain 09-30-2015 08:27 PM
time to practice ridge on my ps3 now !
