Course walked great, drove even better. It's not very often that we get courses with lots of speed maintenance...today was a master class in that regard. Thanks Jerrett for making a course that was atypical for an SCCA event!

Go blow a rusty trombone!

Lip lube.....

:/

I was very impressed with both this course as well as the course with ER last weekend. I think the ER one flowed a bit better. But this one, despite what I thought when I walked. Proved to be very challenging. Good mix of elements. And some visual clues that really focused you to look ahead and be patient. Wish I had been on some real tires!

I liked it too. There were several challenges and I hardly used the brakes.

My son took a bunch of pics of cars in Heat 2 & 3. Below is the link to the pics.

Thank you for sharing!

Fun event. Course drove better than it walked. Hope jj's car is not hurt bad.

Cool pics thanks ! @-BatoLoco13

Agree with the consensus; course drove much better than it walked. Nice change of pace, interestingly technical in several spots, fun finishing stretch. A couple of spots were a little too slow for the torque-challenged among us, but a solid course nonetheless.
Pretty amazing that the course was only 3-4 seconds faster than the Sat BMW course, while being around 70% of the distance.
