Single day ticket is $70 for Sunday. Jeebus--maybe that's why no one comes out to watch these races*, eh? Two-day pass was $65 "in advance" but isn't listed on the ticket site, so I"m guessing we are no longer "in advance." Bah and humbug.

*compared to the "good old days" of yore...reportedly.


edit: for $95 I can get a weekend pass to the NASCAR race at Sears Point, including pit passes for Friday and Saturday. Just sayin'.

B, have you had any free time with your engineers? have you gotten a chance to get technical with them, I'm just, naïvely, wondering if they could help you chase your Z's suspension problem...

[CudaMan]

The ticket is probably primarily for Tudor. And if memory serves it was cheaper than that for a Daytona24 3-day pass with paddock access.

Advance ticket sales ended Monday. Which sucks because that's when the announcement went public that I'd be racing this year. Had to keep quiet until then. Just bad timing with Laguna (my home track) being first up.

My race is Saturday.

My suspension problem is looking like valving, and possibly bind in the suspension. (Nobody ever told me poly bushings could introduce bind... until after I had installed them). Race teams use heim joints and wouldn't have that issue.

I missed that you used poly, and the characteristics make sense now. I have never been a fan with the harmonics and wear characteristics of it over rubber. Rubber has flex, but that is what is great about it. Poly doesn't and does weird things under load, great example is the RTABs on the e36. Stock z4m rubber with isolators makes poly feel like a step backwards.


BTW congrats on the announcement.

So if I'm not mistaken, you can't watch the race streaming on IMSA.com in about 45 minutes. (3:45p.m. Eastern) Bryan's second in the car I think.

Good luck Bryan!

If anyone knows a stream without timing & scoring, or a way to turn off the auto refresh, please share. It's extremely annoying.

Figured it out.

That's just the player of the stream.

How did the race pan out?

Need another two seconds to be competitive, looks like.
