NEW E*TRADE Baby Outtakes

Ok, if you don't get a kick out of this, I got no idea what's wrong with you. Laughin still.

March 2009 DE @ Eagles Canyon with NVR-E-NUF

Note: This post should have appeared earlier this year.  For some reason I neglected to post it.  The video has been posted on YouTube for several months but I felt it should be here as well.  Let me know if you enjoy it.  I had fun making it.



NVR-E-NUF cranked it up this last weekend at Eagles Canyon for the March DE with the PCA Maverick Region. Although it was a little overcast for most of the two days at the track, that did little if anything to dampen the spirits of those in attendance. NVR-E-NUF established it's normal spot on the lower paddock at ECR but we found that we spent most of our down time at Bill's new garage. It's a 'double wide' and has more than enough room to house cars and goodies. Bill's brother Rick was in charge of the grill and was likely responsible for causing everyone to gain at least a couple of pounds with the great burgers, brats and breakfast burritos that he was making.

My last trip to ECR at the races last May was marred with a track that was found to be chunking up and splitting at various places. The folks at ECR have spent quite a bit of time and money over the last several months to make great improvements in the quality of the driving surface. Everyone in the group mentioned that they though the track was in good shape now.

This was the first time on ECR for Larry M. He certainly didn't show it. Glenn S. was screaming on his new R-100 Hoosiers (sticky sticky sticky) and was turning 2:00 minutes flat. A couple of the GT2 guys got down to 1:57 so I'm told by a little birdie. That my friend's is fast. Bill, Azam and Mike R. were also really fast, which was no surprise. Mike W. in his Vette was plagued by a few technical issues and having to jump from his car to go drive with a student since he was instructing.

We also had some new friends, Thomas, Bob and Michael that added to the fun.
Lisa was in great form as well but had to leave a day early to deal with work. We missed you Lisa. I can't forget Doug Smith. He recently picked up a GT3 RS from Steve Hill. What a beautiful car. I'm sure that once he really gets comfortable with it he will be very very hard to catch. Check out the pics over on Facebook.

Many of us will be going to TWS in a couple of weeks to run there. Before that happens I need to replace the right rear wheel bearing in my car.

An update on tires: I'm still using the same set of BF Goodrich R1's that I bought prior to going to Barber. I stopped counting sessions when I got past 40. The tires still have great rubber on them and are very consistent. I got less than optimal performance from them since it was a little cool for R1s to really perform at their best, but with their lifetime, that's something I can live with.

New Boxster Spyder

The more that I see and hear this car the better I like it.  I have yet to experience one in the wild  but feel that one might be coming to a dealer near me before too long.  They just keep making these Boxsters better and better.  Now if I can just snag that home on 17 Mile Drive!

Hallett Race in the Rain - Boxster Spec InCar Sprint 2

Here's a great video of my friend Glenn Smith in his first race at Hallett up in Oklahoma in the rain. Fun stuff. He's a great driver.

Porsche Boxsterm, Spec Boxster vs 993 at Motorsport Ranch on the 3.1

This video from earlier in the year shows me ahead of Glenn and hanging with him. He's gotten some more experience in that car and the lighter weight and setup leave me behind today. Checkout his posts on youtube at jonasd99.

Porsche 993 -vs- Boxster at Motorsport Ranch

Here's a great video my friend Mike @ manurfast took from his 993. He has the traqmate system with the data logging and video that is really fun. He's chasing me as I go through and off on Big Bend at MSR. A little off road is fun. Check out Mike's "air time."

Chasing Mark in his GT3 at MSR

The NVR-E-NUF gang got together for one last track day before the new year. Great friends, food and driving. I'm playing with the gopro Hero Wide stuck to the nose of my car. Mark, a friend of NVR-E-NUF drives his GT3 while I give chase.
