This is from back on Nov 30th. Sorry for the delay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif)

In this one, KenH passes me after turn#3 and I chase him around the rest of the lap.

He doesn't use the brakes as much as I do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Room for improvement, of course. Still a blast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That tach is not marked for my 7300 RPM motor.
Looks crazy though, huh?

This was my first day on that track and first year on any track.

You'll see, you'll see.

Ken is a Bay Area local that I've been a/x'ing with for over a year.
He let me ride along with him several weeks earlier at Sears.

During this session he followed me for quite a few laps and then he went by so I could learn from him.

I was really glad he was there that day. Very helpful. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Afterward, I thanked him and he complimented me and said how well my car was pulling away from him on the straights.

I'm sure he could run faster laps in my car than he turns in his.

I taught that teener the line (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)
In a 4 banger momentum is everything!
A well driven, well set up 4 cylinder is a very formidable car, especially at tracks were horsepower is not as big a deal.
Once Trekkor learns the line and the braking points his car will be very competitive, indeed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

Nice video, double apex at turn two is great for 911s not too good for 914s, IMHO.
Tried it both ways in Bill Pickerings's new 911 hotrod, and with his suspension and big slicks, it was doable both ways. I still prefer the big sweeper with one late apex.
Probably because I learned it in my first 1.7L 914 where momentum was an absolute necessity. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
In a few more events, Trekkor will be showing Ken his quad exhaust! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

OK Ken, you can PM me and let me in on your secret. We've known each other for a long time so you can tell me. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I know you have been asking about different fuel injections. Is there a larger 4 in your future?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif)

Hijack over.

KT - Thanks for taking the video. Thats the first time I have seen a video of the car.

You are right, the only reason I was a head of you was seat time.

As soon as you can get into the GGR track program and have the instructors start "beating" on you
"Apex, Apex, Apex" & "Use the whole track" you will be fine.

I think the biggest single improvement in my 914 was going to the V710 tires. That along with the LSD has translated into feeling of confidence in the car.

confidence = better lap times.

Dan - the rules change removed the reason for "like" cars in the production classes to try and run together. So I am looking at making changes that will make the car faster, even if it puts me in a TT class that I will not be competive in. Just going to have fun and compete against myself. Maybe someday the rulles will change again.

Thanks for posting the video. I really enjoyed it. The only time I have driven Laguna was the day before the 1st WCC. It was in my old 4 cyl race car. This brought back some good memories. I finished the day still afraid of turn #9.
