Good show from everybody!

Well, almost everybody. There were a couple of drivers that made me want to duck every time they went by. Turnout was understandably slim with 2 other events going on, but it was still a lot of fun.

Worth getting up at 5:15AM for? ....yeah, but I think it might be a while until I make the Mineral Wells run again

Fun and longgggggggg course (~90 seconds). Kudos to General Default on the course design.

6 runs on a 90 sec course is always worth the drive to Miserable Wells.

General Default certainly designed a fine course. Not the usual course, but it was fun and challenging.

BEST AX I WENT TO ALL WEEK even if the stinkin neon won tires

Congrats to MadMonkey for a stellar performance.

That thing was FAST. I never expected a Neon to handle that well.. and did you see that Subie Forrester that was running in the first heat??? It was hilarious. And fast.

Congrats to MadMonkey for a stellar performance.

Shh, don't tell anybody. Especially jrj512

I really liked that course except for the far corner after the slalom... I only managed one run through there without bogging down in 2nd. Otherwise, it was fun. Just wish I had better traction, I looked like a ricer trying to drift out there

Wow... what kind of party did I miss out there in the "Deliverance" Boonies of Near West Texas?

Sounds like it was a hell of a lot of fun... I'll be sure to make it out to MW soon!

GREAT course! Challenging, frustrating and fun all at the same time.

I thought it was a very unique course and appreciate the thought that went into making all the elements a challenge.

Thanks General Default!

Worst. Course. Ever.


No I'm kidding! Good course, would've like to have tried it with fresh tires.

THat's become Jon's signature way to finish off a set of tires.

Just some figure 8's in the RX8. Time for some 275 Hoosiers .

Thanks to all of you for spending your time at the ER event this past weekend.

I wish the turn out had been greater but we did get to go home early. The two driver cars had the hardest time as turn around time was quick.

A few people had mechanical issues, including me, but I guess it is good to find these things out before the National Tour.

By the way the course was the short version.

GREAT course! Challenging, frustrating and fun all at the same time.

That's an improvement!

I still find it hard to believe that I got 19th out of 35 in the PAX runs... and that Onething was 23rd

Yeah for showing you're clueless!!!

Onething was running the tire class and is PAX'd according to his classing as if he was running R-comps. You were running a street touring class and PAX'd accordingly. That is why you PAX'd higher than Onething.
