Wow, anything that can beat a Tunnell machine by 4 seconds is a beast. I remember seeing that green car the last year of Topeka.Originally Posted by wrx74

Did Hahn hit a timing light?
M3 is always the answer.

Must have hit the warp drive button...
Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

Talk about a short cut! There's a run in the 65's after that 47 so I'm guessing it was a re-run/false trip at finish?

Yeah, looks like he got a provisional. I'd expect that 47 to get thrown out in audit.

Now shows a 4th run of 65.239....but he was winning for a little while!!!
I hope the same thing just happened in ESP! either that or the guy ran 4+sec faster that Madarash....NAhhhhhh!
Edit - Whew - already corrected... Mark 1st The General 6th with one run to go.
I ended up 22 of 43, which is better than last year's 28 of 46 finish. Like day one, I coned my first two runs and had to ease off a little in order to get a clean run. I had a good time and I will probably return next year.
Oh, and I pulled my calf chasing a cone, today. I almost had to ride back in the sweep car, but I toughed it out. Just needed a salt tablet.
Still can't walk well, though.
I am surprised they let you bring farm animals on course must be a Nebraska thing.
Never ease up. Should have driven all out. What does easing up to get a clean run get you? 22nd place. I think at the National level every run should be 100% even if you cone out.
M3 is always the answer.
BTW, the STS winner was in a 1.6 Smurf that still had the stock passenger seat, heavy 15x7.5 Rotas like mine, OTS Koni Sports in the rear, and re-valved Koni Sports in the front. He had a Megasquirt, but with only a few hours of dyno time to tune it the day before they left for the event. It goes to show, that mad skilz can win over money. I have neither.
I agree if I was chasing a top finish or a win, but not for mid-pack ambitions. You eventually learn to take what you can get down here.

This represents four of my six runs...
BTW, plenty of good Nats pics here:

No photo evidence of it, but me too. Three of them on the second day.... coning away a 12th place finish that was well into the trophies.
Mr Wortham, however, was able to put together two great days and brought home hardware for the second year in a row, in as many trips to nationals. That just doesn't happen in that class. Kick BUTT!
Jeremy and Jon both made the stage too, Jeremy in 12th and Jon in 17th.
Next year - a TX Region sweep of the trophies for SS.
A Z06 is just like a Miata, but with the other half of the motor . . .
I think it was that 2006 SCCA Texas Region Solo School that we both attended our first year of autocrossing, but worked for him a little more than me.
Congrats, mwortham, it's very impressive. Congrats to all of the other trophy winners, too. I know how hard it is to come by those things.
there's a reason we call him flat spot Phil http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2010_scc.../sts/img_3378/
Cone 421 West Course, back wall. When I worked 1st heat on Thursday as a fill in we estimated that well over 50% of the runs resulted in an intimate encounter with this cone.

a couple of the ST pilots hit it every run....
