^ +1 IMO the course would have been acceptable if the slaloms were setup differently.

BMW had 3 under-60' slaloms and the NTAXS course on Sunday had a 3rd gear straight in 2 spots, so I'm pretty sure you are just making shit up again JoJo.

The course was decent. Sometimes with a lot as large as Mineral Wells it can be difficult to put together a layout that doesn't leave a lot of wasted space. The slaloms were a bit painful but were used to keep the entire course from being and all out banzai run to the finish. I can see where the uphill climb would have been frustrating in a lower horse power car. We ran our 2000 Miata out there a bit this summer and the uphill climb seemed to take forever.
I think for me though the biggest limiting factor on my times was balls. I ran out of them on the way down the back straight toward the left hand sweeper toward the finish. With it being a bit off camber I never trusted the car to stick at those speeds so I slowed started my turn in and then matted it again until I got to the final slalom. My rear brakes were smoking when I came off the course after my first couple of runs. By the afternoon I was feeling run down from being sick so we didn't take the second set of runs.
All in all a fun day. Thanks to everyone that made it happen.
