Yeah there were a lot of problems Saturday.
Yeah there were a lot of problems Saturday.
Can you imagine if POS Racing and Sammm were working in the trailer together on Saturday? Now that would have been something to watch!
BTW, I cannot find my trophy from Sunday. If anyone found an extra 1st place left in the paddock, then shoot me a PM. I'm fairly certain that Brad stole it. Eyes would have been on Titus, but he already had one of his own.
I assume Saturday's results are still under review? :wink:Quote:

There is no real drag start, you can't tell who got to the finish 1st even if you compare the times, the courses are hard to make mirrors at MW, they are too short, too much to do and not enough time to do all the runs in one heat for 2 driver cars. And they are a freakin' nightmare for the T&S/audit. Plus, the finish was wayyyyy to close to the edge of the pavement, as a few people found out. Don't get me wrong, I think the Pro Solo format is cool, but with ER's lack of the proper equipment, site, or # of drivers to make a full event, its a waste of time and way too much work to be worth the effort. ::Rant::
The entire course could've been relocated south to open up the shut down zone. There was a lot of wasted space down there.Quote:

Results for Saturday were just sent to Kenny.
Over 250 cones were hit on EACH side!!!
::Rant:: (As I had to audit ALL of them!)
For a total of over 500 cones, not counting DNF's (approx. 43 of those).
If it's posted as I sent it, D1 is the Left course and D2 will be the right course.
Jeremy, don't forget, you got twice as many runs as usual, 12 runs, not 6. So to expect it to be done earlier than 5:00pm, IMHO, is unrealistic.
Later,
The Mirrorcross was an administrative nightmare, even for the Grid workers! But it was still a lot of fun and something different! I'm sure we can manage it once a year;)
Thanks for taking the time to do the audits Gary. I hope you had a beer while you handled that monotonous task. As far as the event is concerned. There was one simple change that could've had the event done far earlier.Quote:

I will post them when they get here.

Hopefully you will get them now. :D
You have a PM.

Congrats to Ken O on first in Tire and Darron65 for third in Tire. Looks like we get trophies.Quote:

So is BStock the new battleground?
Lots of Miata pilots all over the Year-End Trophies... nicely done!
Are year end trophies first 3 spots in each class? Congrats to jrj512 for representing TES well. All 3 of us were in the top 5, even with limited event attendance.
From ER site
To receive a Year End Trophy (Y.E.T.) at the Equipe Rapide Christmas/Awards Party on December 15,
you must compete in a minimum of 6 events and have at least 50% of the class winner's points.
The final points are calculated by taking each drivers best 7 events.
No limit to the number of trophies, just depends on number of points earned.
I tied Miatamoto in the PAX! ::Banana::Quote:

B Stock locally is not for the faint of heart. Just as an example, there were five B Stock drivers in the top 15 in Pax on Saturday... and four of those drivers did it WITH cones on their times.Quote:

If BS can PAX that high while carrying a cone the BS (pun intended) PAX must be even softer than F-Mod ::Fruity::Quote:

I will admit that a second grid worker might have helped matters. He could have patrolled the two-driver row and pressured them to get ready while I was running the rest of grid.Quote:

I still grin every time I watch it.

Kenny, that looked like a blast! Too bad our car blew up on Saturday :(Quote:

Not much, just some clips and start line launches. Got most of the BS guys and a few other folks. Damn, I love Bob's 'Vette, it sounds so sweet leaving the line :clap:
Also, in case you missed it, pics from the event are here:
