I actually like La Grave, but I am in the minority.
Congrats to Iain for his ES win in Cone-cerned's car.
For those not there, Matt Lucas referred to some new venues for next season. He would not say anything else, but I am looking forward to it.
I know what one of those venues is ::Banana::Quote:

Oh yeah I beat a GT-RRRRRR!!!!!! :drive:
I had a great time, also. I think first through eighth place was covered by about 1.7 sec in E stock.
altiain destroyed any excuses I could have in the future with his E stock win in Mr. DFL's car. Now everyone knows that it's me and not the car. Congratulations to altiain on his win.
How long is it until the next event?
I am part of JRJ512's minority, in that I enjoy racing at La Grave. I am with Con-Cerned, when is the first event in 2009?
Nice job announcing Jarret.
Jarret had most of us rolling the whole time. I vote that he does all his runs then announces for the rest of the day :D
And I don't really care for La Grave (my first time out there). Rough, dusty, and the poles don't inspire me to push the edge like Gerry does :D (or maybe it was the Kart friendly course design!).
And I beat a GT-R too! LOL.
First "heat" yesterday was definitely a noun and not a verb - it was tough to get any temp in the tires at all. I really enjoyed watching the ES competition, and I'm sad I missed the comic relief in the 3rd heat - I was working the radio on corner two, and most of the drivers were scattering cones left and right.
It was a good event, a good season, and good to meet and get to know all of you! I'm looking forward to next year!
As much as I hate to agree with jrj512 on anything, I like LaGrave. Then again, I'm partial to almost any site that isn't Pennington.
A big, big thanks to cone-cerned for letting me co-drive his E Stock car yesterday. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to drive a Stock class Miata, something I haven't done in almost three years. Winning was just a bonus. :wink:
I really enojyed the competition in class, and my hat is off to jrj512. He may not be much of a course designer, but he can pedal the wheels off of that little 1.6! :mrgreen:
Hats off to General Default as well for winning B Stock, taking fastest Stock car time of the day, and top PAX spot in his new RX-8. Welcome back to the Stock classes, General! Hopefully Team Anorexia won't abandon the yellow banana for a Super Stock car next season, as it'll be fun to watch the three of you (and Saini) compete against each other!
I enjoyed the day very much and as far as LaGrave goes, it has the best restrooms of all the sites we visit. Simple things my friends!
I must thank Jeret for the enthusiastic "and that puts Bob in first place" even though no doubt I was the first car out in STS2 at the time. Looking forward to next year.
Heh heh, I do what I can.Quote:

I never minded the location too much. The course was good and challenging. Loved the 3rd gear section (stupid 6 speed); actually it was the downshift that was fun right at the entrance to the off camber section. I'll be back for more next year though. :drive:
my data logs are showing me hitting 60+ mph on that front straight. That's pretty good for such a "small" location.
61.3mph in this one...

For comparison, at Mineral Wells last Sunday, I hit 75 on the back stretch:
