    Default SCCA Solo Event #6 @ Pennington Field, 8/16/2009

    More info here: http://www.autocross.com/tr/modules/news/

    I know that Robert has been trying his hand at designing courses. Will they use it? Bring your stones in case we don't like it.

    I'll be there, in a much slower car

    I'm in for the practice on Sat. and the event on Sunday.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Speaking of Saturday, Doesn't BMW have an event at the Bus Lot on 8/15?

    My car exceeds my driving ability. That's the only possible explanation.

    I think we are going to use my course for this one, so be nice it's my first time. It's going to be third gear, 100sec, with 4 cars on course.










    You wish.

    Depends on when I get back into town.... if it's super late then I might not show up... but I've paid already, so even if I roll into town at 2am, my cheap ass will likely be there.

    Sure. We can all determine the best way to rag on Robert's course that will bring him to tears.

    One up side to all of Greg's changes is I can now blame him if people don't like it (I still like the course it's just not mine).

    I still like my orignal course better (maybe because I did it), but I have to go with Greg's experience and as jrj512 said it may have been too jiggy for a first event. Greg may be keeping me from getting beatup after the event (Looked good on paper but drove like crap).

    edit.

    Just sent Greg a revised design in between the orignal and his changes. You guys may get to make me cry yet.

    Exactly why I won't design a course!

    The course got better on my final run.

    I'm glad we didn't use that course the day after the novice school in the spring, and I found it very challenging to figure out. On the other hand, ovals are easy.
