I'm in for Sunday only. Saturday is my grandson's 1st birthday party.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

In for Sunday only, don't know what I'll be driving. Sold the wheels/tires for the RX-8.

Driving a 90whp car on a 100mph lot doesn't sound like much fun to me. It's already too freaking slow for pennington. If one of you guys would hurry up and buy the RX-8 i could be there in a smaller car that rattles more than the miata.

I have beaten a lot more powerful cars out there in my 90whp car. Maybe it is not all the car's fault.
Yeah maybe not. Some drivers may just find it hard to wrangle the extra 20 whp that an NB or similar higher hp car puts outI have beaten a lot more powerful cars out there in my 90whp car. Maybe it is not all the car's fault.

I have to admit, the night AX was actually pretty cool. It really is just a bunch of timed fun runs and it is all very casual. Just pull up and run as many times as you want.
As they say, you actually see the course better with your lights off because you can look ahead further. There are no corner workers. One color of glow stick on the right cones and another color on the left cones. Since we had already gotten to know the course during daylight fun runs, you do not get lost as you might expect at night, plus it is surprising how much of the course you can see.
Good food, too.
Off to set up today's course...
Not a bad event, other than the timing issues towards the end. Whoever desgined that course is greatness!
Congrats to Miatamoto on his X-class win.
Good stuff! Great course jrj512.
I wish I would have gone a little faster in the afternoon, but I just kept messing up at least one element. Just couldn't get it all together.
