SCCA Solo Event #6 @ Pennington Field - 8/14/2011

[ratt_finkel]

Jerret, you have designed some of the best local event courses I have seen since 2004. I've driven many worse national courses than what you have done for us locally. Thank you.

That being said, this course looks like one we've done there a dozen times already. :/

I agree, Jeremy. The problem is that with the constraints and limits placed on courses for this location, they will all look similar. All I can do is try to make it fun.

Could you possibly try harder.

Course was much better than I expected! Just wish it was twice as long

I thought the course drove well. Good job Jerrett. Unfortunately, I blew a valve stem, subsequently a wheel and brand new slick too. But the three runs I got were good, I would have been in the 35's in my last two for sure. Maybe we can run the same course next week at ER

It was fun course with almost no room for error. If you over-drove it (like I did 4 out of 5 times), you were screwed. Congrats to the trophy winners!

How did you blow a valve stem? Did you hit a cone? I have never seen this happen...

Have no idea. Went around the first 180 and it let go. When I looked at the wheel the valve stem was gone.

I saw the stem when I was picking up cones. It was fully intact. I blame the driver.

Some wheels take larger diameter valve stems.

I was working corner 3 when you went around. I just figured that you lost it, but then I saw that you were rim-riding. I hope you have a spare wheel...is the damaged one repairable?

[BMcCann]

And I second what Jerrett said...as we were checking for spills we found the stem not too far from the car. Yuck!

I'd like to know who was calling me DNF? As noted earlier, I could gave not walked an driven it blindfolded and still not DNFd on this rinky dink lot.

Unless UPS loses my package I should be good to go by Sunday. The wheel and tire are toast.

Mark, the audit sheets have both of your DNF's on corner 1.
