+3, We get the same PAX modifier of standard AS-HS classes (determined by cars using slicks) even though we're on street tires. Not that I care much about PAX, just an observation...unless I'm looking at it wrong? Also, Brad and Aaron have proven the genesis is too fast to be G-stock ;) (good driving btw)Quote:

AFAIK, RT classes at the national level don't have the .975 added in. However, many regions are implementing it in their overall PAX results. I know for a fact that San Diego, Los Angeles, and other regions all over the place are using it.
And thanks for the compliment Brandon :)
He was complimenting the car, Brad, :)
The RT classes are only supplemental, so not technically a national class. If you read the writing on the wall, it is unlikely that there will ever be a jacket awarded based on pax. If that ever happens, Rick Ruth suddenly becomes a kingmaker, and too many people are opposed to that possibility. I think there is a better chance of seeing Stock classes go to a 180 or 200 TW rule, except maybe SS. Who knows.
As for comparing yourself nationally, here ya go: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...ator_casio.jpg
Oh, I thought after last year's decent turnout it was made into an actual class. Oh well...
That was an interesting event. Glad we got 5 runs. And it was really cool to see so many novices at one event. Except for a few out-liers, it seemed like they all were quick right out of the gate. And I saw improvement on every run. Sounds like the school was a success too!
Challenging course, never felt like I did what I wanted to on it. Lots of high risk low-reward type stuff. Which I love! But it was not easy for me.
I like how the begining 180 and 90 into the slalom worked out. It was hard to nail it. I ended up short-shifting into second while going around the pivot just after start in order to free myself up to deal solely with the 180.Quote:

Maybe low electrolytes/blood sugar? (from my non-assessent)
She's fine, thanks. I agree that it was probably low electrolytes that caused a cramp that caused her to twist her knee.Quote:

**We are missing one of the SCCA Motorola radios from the event last Sunday.
If anyone might have an idea where the radio might be, please email me.

Nicely put together video! I'm glad you got footage of me doing the most difficult course lining ever. :)
Thanks!
