Great fun on new years day at Marina airport. Would be fun to see some 914s out for this event. You just show up pay entry fee and run. No membership required. This is a happening. Amazing how many cars show up for this event. I think Randal and Bill C will be there for sure.

Hey Richard you need to change your Avatar. Want to see a picture of that nice Lotus on there!

Nice job on the course yesterday; you're starting to get a good feel for that fast machine of yours.

Actually running on street tires is smart as any issues you have will be brought to the forefront quickly. No question slicks would make you faster, but would partially mask driver input.

On another subject, Greg has built so many engines, for himself and others, that there is always something of his breaking at an event. But he uses mostly stock components and twists them 8K, so not surprising. I talked to him after the event and he said the next hill climb motor he builds will have some good solid after market parts to help with the longevity.

Done!

I definitely need more seat time - I think my spin yesterday was me doing as I was told (Randall said take the corner flat out - which I tried), but I was understeering out to the cones on the exit and I tightened the steering - then the back came out and I lost it. The Lotus is incredibly communicative about its intentions - I was just not fast enough, nor experienced enough to adjust correctly at that speed.

I will try a mount for video in the car - a little analysis would really help afterwards - as I made my mistake very quickly and its hard to recall accurately.
