Question about points: will both sides times be added together and then PAX'd to determine points for this event?

Yes, points will be figured on the event as a whole. The rapid pax payout will be figured separately for each side, assuming we meet the entry requirement.

Bump. Hope to see you there. BTW, we will pay separate left and right side PAX if we have at least 60 entries. Otherwise, it will be a combined PAX.

IN case you haven't heard, ER announced this weekend that Nats 2015 course designer Roger "the real" Johnson is designing one side of the mirror cross this weekend! The other side is my design, and the two sides are asymmetrical, but should be about the same length/time. Ought to make for a very challenging and exciting event. Sign up early and often for this unique event.

Can't wait for this! I love the mirrorcross format.

This time it's "Two Course Cross".

I'll be there running with Terranova.

I was recently informed that my course map attempt at humor was too subtle for this crowd.

Cool! Glad its not too pedestrian for you, unlike Savignon Orgeron

I will be there

Two good courses today. One flowed better and the other was more interesting. Liked them both.

Thanks for the feedback JJ. I enjoyed your car quite a bit on my test runs. Thought it was a pretty good day, all-in-all. Someday we will figure out a trouble-free timing system for mirrorcross, but at lease we now have a good backup plan for bypassing the RT, which worked smoothly in the PM runs.
Ironically, I was very fast on Roger's course, but never quite nailed my own design.

Fun time. Had difficulty driving with my head firmly up my *ssd. But had a great time. Thanks ER.

Combined Course Results Posted

I liked both courses. No complaints about them. I would like to see the rough sections avoided more. Or at least not placed right in a section where you are doing heavy turning / tire mutilation.

I really enjoyed running with you guys, it being my first event with ER and my 3rd event ever I liked not being treated like a "noob". Thanks everyone!

noob alert! You're on the radar now buddy. Just wait till next time.
