hi guys!
the Probenstien has the BIGGEST heart of any car i own! it held itself together the entire weekend, and i was FLOGGING THE STUFFING out of it!!!!!!!!
two of the fast guys in PTE, driving SE-Rs, blew their motors bigtime. it was super super hot out there (i was praying for rain, cause i would have dominated in the rain!
), but it was hot and sunny both days. the track was totally falling apart -- pieces of it were ripping up and flying out, hitting your wheel-wells and other cars following behind you. T1, T5, T6, and T10 were going quick......here is the incar from a competitor's car in PTE (steve harper):

note that there is a guest appearance by darren mingis!
i was absolutely flat out, asking everything of the Probenstien; and it gave it to me! this battle was for 3rd position in PTE.
enjoy!
todd
PS i am trying to post my incar vids, but am having a little problem with google video; it keeps failing to upload. i'll try again tonight!

I think it is time to take summit off of the calander.

Thanks for posting the video Todd
It was a fantastic weekend...my new motor and trans held up quite nicely and my car is working great.I wish I qualified as well as I start...I like being on the outside of T1 at VIR and Summit...esp Summit with the rumble strips on-line now.
I thought I was doing relatively well blocking Harper. Through T10 I was about 1.5 car widths off the outside, I was worried about him going inside, but instead he goes exactly on-line and passes me on the exit. I guess I should have went inside and out-braked him into T1....but at the time I thought it was best to let it go. In retrospect, I should realize he isn't going to dive bomb me because of how he drives.
Harper ended up passing that yellow Civic and then I immediately did so also. I ended up trading back and forth with that car though (out of class) and couldn't get back up. Things got more complicated as I was trying to stay out of the H5 race, the H1 race, and the leaders in Spec Miata.
I'm interested to see the lap times of that Sunday race. I was in the low 1:30's all weekend, but I want to see if I broke into 1:29 in that Sunday race.
Great example video of the racing we do!!!

Also, watching you in the same turn, T1 defending against Harper, you just taught me something....thanks for that

todd, thanks for putting up the video. this past winter I studied your videos alot, this is another one that I will refer to before going out to Summit. you really do get alot out that old car.

hey, you are welcome, michael!!!
i am still working on putting up my personal in-car vids from both days; i am having some kind of problem with video.google.com; it only puts up the first 2 secs of the vids! i am trying again, right now.....
darren -- i picked up a copy of the provisional results for sunday's races before i left. here is PTE:
P1 = Eric Rosen (SE-R) fast lap = 1:30.056
P2 = Robert Allen (BMW Spec E30) fast lap = 1:29.674
P3 = Todd Reid (Probenstien) fast lap = 1:30.482
P4 = Steve Harper (SE-R) fast lap = 1:30.636
P5 = Darren Mingis (Integra LS) fast lap = 1:30.834
the other guys were DNS in PTE due to blown motors
the track was SLOW; especially felt slow to me, with the 8 weekend old tires on the Probenstien! no grip anywhere.....
i hope to have my incar up soon!
todd
- Darren - 06-25-2008
Thanks...not what I had expected. I think the grip was a problem for everyone, I know I was getting a lot more oversteer than normal on the fast turns.
BTW -- the e30 was illegal (didn't take LSD points and driving on R888's instead of RA1's) so you were really second.

Aren't the RA 1's stickier than the R888s.

in NASA PTx classing, RA1s are worth +5 points; 888s are worth +7 points, and Hoosiers/Hankook Z214s/Kumho 710s are worth +10 pts. (street tires with treadwear of 140 or more are worth 0 points).
those are the rules.
todd
PS i don't know about which one is stickier; it definitely seems like the RA1s last longer than the 888s.
