Re: Yippee - sub 1:30 at Monza!

13 posts by 9 people · 18 Nov 2000 - 21 Nov 2000 16:52 UTC

I finally broke the 1:30 barrier at Monza in GPL - down to a 1:29.44! Boy! I wish I could get below 1:30.38. I know that's a piece of cake for some of you, but for me... yippee etc. I can't wait for GPL Rank to get back in operation. Now it's time to put the steering wheel away for a while and play "No One Lives Forever". Man does not live by GPL alone! ...Klinn You're probably right, 'cause my wife is sick and tired of seeing me play this game. ;-p

If you're like me tho, the first time is the last, you'll never break 1:30 again :) rms [email hidden]

It does feel very good to break 1:30 as I did this week, especially as it's only taken me 18 months! Now if i can only get a sub 1:29 -- Some Call Me Tim

One of the things that helped me (besides not having a wife asking "Are you playing _that_ again???" <g>) was the track guide for Monza at http://lightsoutracing.simplenet.com/trackguides/index.html . ...Klinn "Rksanjose" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > Boy!

Congratulations Tim - I've been after the sub 1:30 for about the same length of time. Good luck on the next milestone - I think I'll go off and try to improve at some other tracks before coming back to Monza. My Spa time is really crappy, so maybe I'll head off that way... ...Klinn "Some Call Me Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jhyR5.19518$[email hidden]... > It does feel very good to break 1:30 as I did this week, especially asit's

I've been stuck at 3:22 for 4 months now and I just can't for the likes of me think of any way, where or how to go quicker. Still Plugging Away -- Some Call Me Tim

And you're STILL two seconds faster than ME, for about the same length of time.... :( Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPL hcp. +49.12 Never argue with an idiot.

And two seconds faster than me as well - I tried shifting for myself yesterday at Spa and managed to get down to 3:24.58. I'm still a little gun shy about attacking some of the apexes, what with having lost it in the dirt in some spots, so my line is too sharp & slow in some corners. Sigh. Practice, practice... ...Klinn [ http://SIMplyRACING.freewebsites.com ] "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > And you're STILL two seconds faster than ME, for about the same length of > time.... :( > > Eldred
