Equipe Rapide Challenge Cup #10 Nov 13th Lone Star Park

Lots of people have been asking about our annual charity benefit. We will be supporting Guns and Hoses Foundation of North Texas again this year. Our finale autocross on November 13 will have all proceeds donated to Guns and Hoses. We will also have cone buy back for $5 per cone. PAX winners are encouraged to donate their cash winnings to Guns and Hoses. You can also stuff cash in the boot if you like. Last year we raised $3000.... I hope we can do more for the first responders this year.
The Guns and Hoses challenge event is a blast. Teams of firefighters and police square off against each other on the autocross course driving squad cars. This year will be a little different than in the past. This year we will have two police and two fire on each team. The teams will represent their city. There will be four teams this year. Southlake, Garland, Grand Prairie, and Mesquite. Each team will be assigned a coach. Our coaches this year are Phil Osborne, Steve Eberlein, Tim Schuh, and Keath Marx.
I hope you can make it out to cheer for your favorite team or coach and donate your time and money to a good cause.

You want faster slalom entry, or faster exit?

In.

Considering I tend find myself going too fast around the 2nd/3rd cone in I'd say exit.

Has always been easier for me to enter slow and build speed once I get in the rhythm, but of course I am noob so.... That's what she said..

Sorry to be that guy...Can it be non-optional? At LSP where it gravels so badly its going to make it a nightmare for blowers and drivers.

Slow in, fast out is the mantra.

Looks fun! See y'all there!

More in

me 2.

Really fast course, I liked it. Couldn't find a smooth line between the slalom and the half box of cones. Car was in between 2-3rd for good portion of that too which was awkward. Couldn't get better than a 59.X

Great shots, can really see the drivers concentrating. Had planned to make this, but our truck decided Sunday morning to kill one of its batteries ::Rant::. I guess will try again next weekend.

I was a mustard man, by the way.

Yep, mustard made the exit much faster, and entry wasn't all that tough if your entry speed was right for the slalom anyway.

I assume this is a cheap shot to those of us who own a Mustang. Mus-Tard You made me cry.

Ketchup for me. 70mph downhill is fun. https://youtu.be/2-G9TPKieng

I think he was referring to the color on the course map option. Yellow for mustard. I was a Ketchup driver. Left Entry.

Ketchup for me.

Yeah normally I'm more mustard , but the ketchup was more tasty to me

I was just plain. Tried it both ways, was slow anyway.

Ketchup for me. Mostly because I wasn't thinking far enough ahead and the slalom came up a lot faster than I expected after the offsets.

Ketchup was the faster direction according to data. By a significant margin.

I applied the 2017 Pax numbers to the first 4 that were top in Pax at this event. The new pax numbers would have made a difference.
Whitener, (STS) moved from 3rd to 1st by .026 seconds.

2017 PAX #s

BS and FS got way soft relative to last years numbers. But they FS got an .001 decrease. So beating Ken O got that much harder :/

Depends on what class you run. For me, it got easier....but only by .001.
