Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #6 July 26, lone star park

Lone Star Park is done with their spring season horse racing. That is good news to us as we have been waiting to get back out there since March. I hope you can attend the Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #6 on July 26th at Lone Star Park. Registration online is open. We offer cash on-site registration from 8-9 on autocross day. The first 100 entries get to smack Russ Rosenberg on the rear with a wiffle ball bat. Registration and event details are available on our website at www.equiperapide.com.

Dammit! Where did you find that? That was also my Ashley Madison avatar...

I'm going to be there but I'm bringing the trailer from MW.
I think I've got a co-drive with one of the novice GS guys.
But just in case he doesn't show anyone have an open seat ?

Thanks, Paul K.

Map: (crossover may be adjusted if entry count goes too high)

I remember that crossover part from an earlier LSP event. IIRC, crossing over was slower

Looks like I'll be there running with the Marx's!

Dang I gotta get that wing so mine can do that!

Frickin Toasty!!!!!

Good event for sure. I really liked the course, my tires where not up to the heat thou went to a greasy mess after the first run each heat. :( I guess I will pack a water sprayer if I go to another event in this heat.

GREAT course, Mike! Nice flow and lots of speed.

I vote to eliminate stupid tetris block starts. Stupid pivot cone cost me 3rd in PAX. :(

In other news, looks like Dusold is going to stomp now that he's on BFGs!!

Note to self: more Tetris block starts. Also, design an element that CAMC cars can't do...

Its official (and old news I'm sure). Mike hates HP. ;)

Good course. I had boatloads of fun hoon-ing it up on the outside lines. Apparently its still not smart to play in the gravel. Good thing I'm a slow learner and kept doing the same thing. My times sucked, but I had lots of fun.

Speaking of gravel, it didn't really seem to play much of a factor IMO. That being said, I didn't drive in the first heat so it might have been different.

Make Mike dusold drive first heat to finish blowing the line....

Wow! Thanks for all of the great feedback. I've never had anywhere close to the number of positive comments I've received in the past 24 hours via email, text, FB and in person. Sure makes all the effort worth it when you know people enjoyed themselves. I also felt like it was one of the best-flowing courses I've ever done. Interestingly, it really felt fast (and the avg speeds were pretty fast), but I never went to 3rd and only sat on the limiter for very short bursts. Yet again, the optional elements generated tons of debate/conversation. I think some variation of that figure 8 option will become an annual tradition for my LSP courses.

Interestingly, the optional slalom had very few people choosing to go left, but I thought it was a clear advantage for anyone going CCW, as it straightened the approach to the first big offset. I know Dave W went left, but not a lot of others did.

I switched in my last runs.

Feel like it made a difference?

Best Run, 67.042. Couldn't back up my 66.6 cleanly, but there was definitely more grip than I took advantage of.
