Guest Red52 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 [media]http://youtu.be/__ZCtgqR9nQHighlights from the Flying Tigers, it may be slightly biased showing us passing more people than passing us. Apologies to the white miata, that contact swiped our valve stem off, extra 5 minutes in the pits and one other unplanned pit stop kept us from racing for the podium, that and a bolt went missing from the rear sway bar in the first stint. Massive push for the whole race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Highlights from the Flying Tigers, it may be slightly biased showing us passing more people than passing us.That's pretty much all my personal highlight videos show. Well, that's not exactly right, I cut it to pick up mainly my passes, but the car is slow enough that those clips usually also include a number of cars passing me. I don't think y'all suffered from the same affliction.I'm surprised y'all omitted the major offroading expedition through the esses. (Assuming I'm remembering correctly that it was y'all that did that in front of me...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Red52 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I put the nighttime offroading in there instead, but yes we had one of those during the day as well, maybe that's where the sway bar bolt went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u-turn Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 It was always interesting passing the Jag.I believe they had there drirfting setup on thier car.They have adjustable coil overs and they didn't change them the whole race.That was a great looking car,I was always worried about putting a nice little dent on it.We can't wait to go back when they open the full north course.

cleave Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah, apparently we had a close call with the Jag at 12:40. I don't know who was driving. Don't think it was me. I don't remember anything happening like that and the subsequent re-pass in T1 didn't look like my work.2.7 course will be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to turn down a trip to TWS, since it's only an hour away from our team's home base. NOLA is 6+ hours for the whole team. But I think our car will be even better in the 2.7 than it was in the 1.8.I can't believe we let a bunch of dirt trackers beat us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know,right?Maybe the Kentucky Spirits 300z,but an Infinity.Thats why i'm leaning towards Nola.We would like a another shot at "it",I wonder if Team Infinity will be back to defend their victory.What about it Team Infinity are you going to give 2 frustrated BMW teams another shot?

Team Infiniti Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Still feeling the sting of a auto/4door in the winners circle ahead of bimmers and z31 300z? Never undistimate the unorganized yahoos pitted next to you, while they are adimreing your orderly ways they may be out there trying as hard or harder .... Defending the win would be cool but we may leave you guys frusterated as RA is where we want to go and we can't do both, that decision is many months away and theres still another team vote, weather, travel time (13hrs vs 11hrs to RA) etc. can sway things.

Ogren-Engineering Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 We may go back if the straight is the same . If they extend the straight, not going back. The full course looks like a nice track with the current T 1 and the kink back out around to the left section. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably run the TWS race,much closer to Dallas.Really no incentive if that damn Infinity not going to show up for their for sure beat down!

Team Infiniti Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Well all that smack really makes me want to see you again!Remember we were having diff heat issues? PBIR prep took a sharp turn this afternoon when the gear lube turned up all sparkley, out it came to find the pinion bearing ready to give the podium to someone else or hassle us in the beginning hours of PBIR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Infiniti Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Fluke? Hope not but we do have some MOV laps so it aint going to be easy and yes a good catch, I'm still feeing sick it almost got missed, should have caught that sooner as we were struggleing in the last hours. We owe the blown up escort guys some brewskies or something for that prolonged yellow flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Infiniti Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Keeping it on track with good pits are how we took this win, It was fun ventureing out to meet some new teams. Laps? I will let CCWS tell us.Oh thanks for elevating us to damn Infiniti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
