    I stuck around Saturday evening and drove the ProSolo course to help them tweak it. No worries, I'm not going to enter. It's a decent course that flows a bit better now. From what I understand of ProSolo you go for the competition not necessarily the course.

    Thomas, I think you need to change this.
    Thanks! I'll have to come up with something.

    Like you even need to ask. Bean changes mine rather frequently, and I have never needed to ask.

    I enjoyed it except for the one cone that was really tight. It was a dicipline course that you had to be ahead of almost the whole time.

    What kind of times were you running in the mini?

    We'll see when the official results are posted. I seemed to be faster on the right-hand course, but that might have just been me.

    I'll gladly accept one as a gift! Make sure it works for a Sharp Mini DV camcorder. Let me know if you need the exact model number.

    I had a 48.7 dirty and 48.8 clean on the right.

    And on the left I had a 49.0 clean and a 48.7 on my run that had the timing fockup (we had an in-car and I stopwatched it). So thats why I was pissed about getting a re-run.

    Those were my rapide pax times.....the regular runs had sheety tires on the front. We saved the good ones for the afternoon.

    The left side course had more dificult turns that were off camber.

    The 180 at the back, the final left before the finish, the 2 left offset gates after the 180.

    On the right the hard turns were all on camber so the car would stick better. The mini made this very obvious on bald tires.
