    Yep, yet again this year I managed to place poorly in class, then out-PAX the rest of the class in the money runs. I guess POS is rubbing off on me, as I'm starting to go faster with the Rs on the car as well.

    My hat is off to Kestrel - we've had plenty of close events over the last couple of seasons, and he got the better of me yesterday in the regular runs by about 3 hundredths of a second.

    You ain't kiddin'... lugnutjon finished out of the money for the first time this year, and General Default and I both got bumped back to the low teens. Still, we'll show those pesky power cars a thing or two at the next event at Pennington.

    Interesting reading...

    Looking at sammm's times, I think altiain wins the instruction overload award...

    Thanks again, general, for helping me remember what to get my head around. I had a great day.

    I can feel your pain after reviewing the results for my class...... Making me start to rethink the “everybody gets a trophy deal”. I think I like it now!

    You're just lucky that CSP PAX is hanging around my neck to give you the chance to beat me.

    Your just lucky I've got a beat up NA with stock springs, stock sways and skinny tires.

    I've probably got 80 WHP like POS.

    Yup, looking at the PAX results, definitely a hp, or hp/wt course. To win PAX, I would have had to go 2.1 seconds faster, times in the mid 91 second range....not without another 25/30 hp!
    Ok, no more whining, I promise...

    The next ER event is at Pennington Field. We'll see what happens on a more "technical" course...

    Pictures are up! :cool:

    Be sure to give Dennis R (he drives the red Mustang in DP) a pat on the back. He (1) takes all these pictures, and (2) puts them up on a website all without being paid one red cent! Of course, you can help him by purchasing one of his pictures...
