OK, some of us are engaged in a private discussion which has turned into macho posturing regarding who is better fit and is in better shape, and has more testosterone hormones for smack talk .......... not to mention who has the bigger ass ...........
In my view, these are all diversion tactics to the basic question at hand. Bare with me this has scientific implications for NSXPO 2003 ........
How many of you have:
(a) "heard" of some drivers using knee pads, especially on the left knee (left steering cars) while driving on race tracks ............? All that we are seeking is an answer that says yes or never. An assumption is made that often such drivers are using oem seats and oem seat belts but this is not necessarily an absolute condition.
(b) how many of you have "personally experienced" some discomfort or minor bruise on your left knee by driving the NSX on the track or even some twitsies and leaning on the door to keep you firmly planted in the oem seat/seat belts .........? Again, we are looking for a show of hands to ascertain whether this is a bogus question (as it it is "bullshit" ........) or indeed some have experienced it.
(c) If you answered (b) in the affirmative, does the dead pedal help to brace you firmly in the seat? In other words, you don't need to use your left knee leaniong on the door/door handle to brace yourself more firmly, just pushing the dead pedal is enough for you to stay planted in your seat while taking turns ........... unless you have 4 to 6 point harness belts or an aftermarket racing seat, and/or a big ass that fits tightly in the oem seat/seat belt .... !
(d) how many of you who have tracked at Infineon Raceway think this track causes more g force pulls and push in "successive sequences" on you compared to Thunderhill, or Laguna Seca? The question assumes you have run these tracks too and more than once .....
(e) If you answered (d) in the affirmative, are you adjusting your seating to brace yourself as you transition from right/left turns? If yes, do you use the dead pedal to brace yourself and is that enough or you also lean on your left knee to hold you in place? ........... unless again you have 4 to 6 point harness belts or a big ass that fits tightly in the oem seat/seat belt
And finally, what level of driver do you classify yourself as: Advanced, Intermediate, or Beginner?
Folks, keep the responses clean please ........ Those involved in this private debate, please abstain from posting your opinions, let's see what the trackers say ..........
Thanks.
