oh hello! What’s your local track @captain pabst ? Congratulations on Christmas arriving early!

Hi Legaré Welcome to USA7s. Congratulations on getting your new kit. I want to see that together and you lapping quicker than Tom next year. Should make the family gatherings fun!!! cheers mike Also your car is now officially called Peppermint Patty

Added? Like what? Ground hogs? Pounds? Muscle? Wrinkles? Spins? Oil?

Its a private club style of facility. Members are responsible for their guests so we try to keep things under control. If not then this event does not occur next year. I think we want it to occur. Anyway, a few "offs" are normal as people get to grips with the place. Too many "offs" and you get kicked out. I think the record for a USA7s guest was 8 offs before 2pm on one day - he took himself out early.

It was great to see you Carl. Next year the engine foibles will be solved and you will be back. Also here is one from Thursday for you - the two quickest laps. The rubbing/wop wop noises are the diff with its 40% LSD complaining about going around corners. Sound up for some snarling noises. And if you need a different engine note then this one. Wheelspin in most corners and all gears on vintage-style bias ply Goodyear race rubber. Brakes are FIA non-existent spec. The unorthodox steering technique tells you how physically heavy it is. But sound up anyway.

By the way, what happened to my turkey baster? Never saw it again at the end of the day as we cleaned up. I would not use it for cooking....

Oh lordy! If you saw me on Thursday frantically working the wheel of the Mustang or BMW as they refused to behave you would have had a very different statement of my driving. Charlie should chime in but he is using a Racebox Mini S which mounts on the car, is activated by a phone app to record GPS and G data. Charlie then sucks it into Racechrono phone app for analysis. I particularly liked the big blue arrow so he knows which way to drive. I like Racechrono - first started using their logging products 12 years ago. I use the RaceBox Mini S but export the data into RaceRender to combine with forward/rear looking video. RaceRender can then create video overlays and track map. Its a matter of what style of analysis you are most able to derive benefit from. A lot of my driving actions are unconscious reactions now and I prefer in car video to see what I am doing where. A top down map style of analysis helps you understand when you have a late apex for example. I never said you missed the apex there - just said it was late. At least you are starting to track out more fully to the left on turn 4. Needs to be full width of track as you add speed like getting it from the current 85mph corner speed to 100mph+.

Week Beginning September 8, 2024 To the gentleman at NJMP Turn 5 Thunderbolt flag station yesterday who a few of us chatted about looking to buy a se7en, a big thank you for your efforts to keep us safe! I think all the folks who attended had a great day as you can see in our photo thread here: USA7s Classified Ads of Cars for Sale USA7s classified pages - USA7s club members have the benefit of selling their cars by listing them for free on USA7s forum. https://usa7s.net/ips/forum/26-cars-for-sale/ New Ads Found this Week Caterham https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2005-caterham-7-3/ Replica https://bringatrailer.com/listing/lotus-seven-roadster/?utm_source=Iterable&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=campaign_2648441 and here https://www.facebook.com/share/o2EuMMKUA1Er1jTb/ Lotus 7 S4 https://sodo-moto.com/listings/lotus-super-7-6/ Replica https://www.ebay.com/itm/176557457978?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=WebBT9SETQ2&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Mitsuoka Zero https://www.facebook.com/share/SF7iQeYDf46y93MM/ Lotus 7 S2 https://www.facebook.com/share/fk4GojndPtbgHg3j/ and here https://www.facebook.com/share/rU4D3X7C2o1uWch6/ Lotus 7 S2 https://www.facebook.com/share/8k6w2mnsTjbDexbz/ Sabre Seven https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/listing/1985-lotus-7-franklin-me-2818827 Repeat Ads From Prior Week Caterham https://www.facebook.com/share/GRkrGkoQp8a2g4uT/ Replica Project https://www.facebook.com/share/pefMf4p2mTowRDRE/ Locost Project https://www.facebook.com/share/NUTtdPhsXNbMSdbq/ Lotus 7 S2 https://www.facebook.com/share/PoyvC3hmHxXoWKJV/ Locost Project https://www.facebook.com/share/4abH8fzLKScATxdS/ Birkin https://www.facebook.com/share/xupRdP5FtatwXh99/ Locost https://www.facebook.com/share/ewfuPMgQ5s34EYUK/ Lotus 7 S4 https://www.facebook.com/share/M1uPNt6mUXwYwW8k/ Lotus 7 S4 https://www.facebook.com/share/x7ALsHLWmYTh5GAN/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/aFEGcfo4bcojX2MB/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/NRPY7Vrpz445sG63/ Birkin https://www.facebook.com/share/tVzgLuiEdGjyjb7M/ Locost https://www.facebook.com/share/iKJXxWDSA1aUeLHA/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/5i5kbcR38RhwAvhH/ Lotus 7 S2 https://www.facebook.com/share/PoyvC3hmHxXoWKJV/ RM 8 Kit Project https://www.facebook.com/share/38GCvCnbVercvF4D/ Caterham https://www.facebook.com/share/5jAYryCgVup5vBSc/ Caterham https://www.facebook.com/share/DaJbqpRZNY39AHbJ/ Westfield https://www.facebook.com/share/4vcJLVA96qDJwUss/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/2gSN9vXim5gaNQ98/ Caterham https://www.facebook.com/share/UpVm4s9vCo6muPhM/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/SwnqrLPxaCLehp2N/ Caterham Kit https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/el-verano-lotus-caterham-super/7782439134.html Caterham https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/d/seattle-2014-caterham-280s/7779800095.html Stalker https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/listing/2017-lotus-super-seven-sarasota-fl-2792670 Caterham https://www.hagerty.com/marketplace/classified/1998-Caterham-Super-7/d1ab716d-7b2f-42ee-b2e9-4a751d63254f Caterham https://www.hagerty.com/marketplace/classified/2014-Caterham-seven/0625bd7d-ff64-44ad-a7dc-a10da78f231b Lotus 7 S2 https://www.ebay.com/itm/355948489010?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4m1yw6uvr36&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY and here https://www.facebook.com/share/6CNK19oH6qjMgD6J/ and here https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/listing/1962-lotus-bedford-hills-ny-2799374 Canada Replica https://www.kijiji.ca/v-voiture-collection/ville-de-montreal/lotus-seven-replique/1699965738 and here https://www.facebook.com/share/oJJwmHERKZU7e6E1/ Westfield https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/delta-surrey-langley/lotus-super-seven-replica/1693690401 and here https://www.autotrader.ca/a/lotus/seven/langley/british columbia/19_12852618_/ and here https://www.facebook.com/share/pXKDYqj36dY1AoAE/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/gih2igC6hEiugh6R/ Fejer https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/truro/1985-fejer-lotus-super-seven/1701350048 and here https://www.autotrader.ca/a/lotus/seven/lower five islands/nova scotia/19_12900501_/ Exomotive https://www.autotrader.ca/a/mazda/miata mx-5/chelsea/quebec/19_12807617_/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/ZAZexcUZ9yKTrSdD/ Locost Project https://www.facebook.com/share/eBJS933UAC7ujGgA/ MN Sportscar https://www.facebook.com/share/c8vfiKK4wBfjYmtG/ Lotus 7 S3 https://www.facebook.com/share/yNms2fed1o3Nb91y/ Replica https://www.facebook.com/share/MBgsfNMB2dy4bhBg/ RM 8 Project https://www.facebook.com/share/hidJf7cpMwRSV342/ Caterham https://www.facebook.com/share/BcS7cx6G42QTUz1C/ Caterham https://7cars.ca/cars-for-sale/caterham-s3-360.htm

The pro photographer (Mikey) group photo will be available in 1-2 weeks - I know he is pretty busy right now. He also went to Turn 4/5 to take photos and I will share those ocne I have them. I can provide full resolution photos of both Dom and Mikey's photos if you want - just let me know.
