    Ooh...I like that run/work order. I'm assuming the Novice pax just runs with their class, only with the modifier added in scoring?
    Also...since TR SCCA doesn't have a "novice" points winner like ER, should I run with a Tire pax instead?

    Note to self: if Novice is an option, choose it. Now I'm wearing my ass for a hat after trying Street Tire. Not that they are bad cars anyway, but it was humbling to see a Cooper S run almost 3 seconds faster BEFORE they calculate its more-favorable pax. I would most likely have been top-5 of 25+ cars in Novice. Oh well, now I know.

    Wow, the event ran very smooth! Good job!

    Now I just need to get faster! We lowered the car an inch after our runs, so we shall see what happens next weekend.

    And what did that do to the camber and toe numbers?
    Did you check them yet?

    The event ran smoothly and was even better after the sun came out! The Z06 was fun and I have much to learn.

    Nice to see everyone after the long offseason and looking forward to the next one (and warmer weather).

    The car is going to get an alignment this week. We just wanted to get it done while we were there. The car felt very good today, but I feel like my driving let me down. A spin on my second run really hurt me. I didn't really run as hard as I should have for the last 2 runs.

    I'm looking forward to a tweeked alignment next week and new, wider Toyos in 2 weeks. We're still working on the car setup and our comfort level with the new car. We just hope we can catch up with Neal by the end of the year!

    I thought a toe joke was possible.
    Never mind about the toe settings.

    Great seeing everyone again. The event went smoothly with the number of entries.
    Although I am not a big fan of getting my first run at 230pm, I am glad out autocrossing again. After the long off season, I have to relearn how to drive.....

    Looking forward to next sat!

    you guys need to re-corner weight and re-align at the same time, otherwise you will be chasing unknowns

    if you don't have the ability to do that, I know someone who will do it for you for some bucks, but not bad

    and no one is counting you out of the hunt

    did you see Dixie Tour results? interesting those who won last year won this year on the same brand

    Miata's in GS? Sorry, I haven't been paying attention... I didn't know there were any Miata's in GS. How many classes can these amazing Mazda's run in?
