<---- is tempted to go up again this weekend.

Got a new set of Yoko's and brakes getting put on this coming Monday in anticipation of the Weekend with Bill. Might just as well trash what is let of the current skins. I left enough of them up on Jay's road last Saturday!

And I have to wonder how they count curves on the Dragon? I am not sure you could pack any more curves per mile into Jay's road (just look at the vids in the other place). Just what constitutes a curve? I count it as any time I have to turn the wheel in the opposite direction. So a 180 curve is one curve. Is the Dragon counting a 180 as two curves of 90 degrees? That is the only way I can see them getting that curve per mile count. If so, the unoffical count for Jay's road may be significantly understated. Someone with a better mind for this stuff than me can figure it out. I have an appointment with Captain Morgan.

LOL! I am 2 glasses into Black Box wine and its surprisingly good.


Who cares how many turns! The big issue here is no LEO and no traffic.

I am in town (Sylva) right now, unfortunately I am driving the FJ Cruiser. :(

LOL!!!

Always 2 steps ahead!!

Cam Mount
 
Jay,

Here is how I took that mount and used it in-car. Notice I have the mount arm touching the dash at its lowest point, that addressed any stability issues. The camera also has an intenal image stabilizer so the picture is turning out rock solid.

I got the wee beastie back from Speedwerks, and I need to map the chip on some mountain roads. Gave it to dave and got back one honker of a 911. Let's go play!

I started packing for the Bill weekend.
 
Here is what I picked up this past Saturday. Looking forward to seeing the other Pelicans at the Weekend with Bill on the 11th. It should be a blast!

VERY nice, looking forward to seeing it in person.

Now to go get me a bottle of that expensive scotch and some cigars and we got ourselves a weekend!

Better yet .... let's get Aerkuld to bring the scotch! Is he in?

Shadetree930 03-17-2008 11:12 AM

Jay,

Did I see you in the HGTV Dream Home studio audience? White shirt?

Jims5543 03-17-2008 11:13 AM

I would chip in towards some more of that Scotch from Aerkuld

Shadetree930 03-17-2008 11:30 AM

Any idea what that was? If I recall correctly, not available stateside.

Unless we hear from Aerkuld, and since I cook for crap, I will take on scotch duty. Do we have a preference? Needs to be available at SC retail. Don't be shy, pick your poison. A flock of Pelicans in the mountains is not a flock without some damn fine scotch.

SCWDP911 03-17-2008 11:37 AM

procon, is this 4/11 you guys are talking about? I must have missed it on the other list...

Shadetree930 03-17-2008 11:51 AM

Jay,

Now that 4/11 is looming closer maybe a new thread on PP for those not on 'the other' site?

Might flush out some super-twistie fans?

I also re-ran the videos. 143 twisties in the Southbound run. I get h**d everytime I run those videos.

SCWDP911 03-17-2008 11:56 AM

Thanks Jay! I will see if I can swing it...
