I wish it were ONLY once!

In. :D See ya there. :burnrubr:

Since we are going to have a lower turnout for this event, we might be able to add one or two more runs.

We are looking at 72 degrees and partly cloudy on Saturday, so it should be a great day for an event.

Whens the last day to sign up??? Because I'm having issues with my paypal account and don't know if it will be resolved in time.

jrj512, can you post (or link to) the aerial view of the Top Gear track? I'd enjoy seeing that.

That's going to be a very high-speed course! Looks like a lot of fun, but I'll be doing a track weekend at Motorsport Ranch with the Maverick Region PCA crowd. Ya'll have fun out there, and try to keep from going off in the back left corner. That back stretch looks very fast, and there doesn't appear to be a lot of room for error on that 90degree left hander...

If you can not get it fixed still come out and I am sure we can take your money.

Thanks. It shoud be cleared up by tomorrow, but I think everyone knows how blazing fast paypal works when it comes to give back money.

We can usually work something out if you have special circumstances. Just shoot me a PM before time so I can approve it.

I offered but I think he is afraid of my Daughter. I don't blame him.

Steve, you need to come join us in class 1, Mark is used to racing by himself.........

I agree. Quite abrasive on the tires!

Seriously fun. Great course (thanks Robert and Jerrett) Great weather and 10 runs. Kinda liking the running on Saturday thing too. Good times :clap:

SA

It was one of the fastest (if not the fastest) AX course I've ever been on.

Stupid Fast is what comes to mind!

Kudo to NTAXS once again.
10 runs on a ~80 second course. Was at the top of 3rd gear in 2 or 3 spots on the course. :burnrubr:

I did the 2-5 shifts several times today. My engine noise dropped so much I could hear the course workers laughing.

Great, fast course. I had a blast.

Thanks to Robert and JJ for the course.

Yep...they should be up shortly. Someone will post a link to them.

I'm looking forward to the results posting... ::Banana::

Seriously, one of the most fun courses I've ever seen. Not wide-open and easy, lotsa challenging parts, but not super-technical and slow either. The corvettes should've had to start from a dead stop at the timing lights!! ;)

It was a fun day. We were missing some key people, so thanks so much for everyone that filled in for them. Everything went really smoothly.

I have submitted the results to be posted.

Here are the current points: http://img210.imageshack.us/i/ntaxs2009points.pdf/

Aqib, Canadice, Ryan, and David are all still eligible for first in Class S2000.

Thomas, Alan, and Steve are all still eligible for first in Class 1.

First place in Class 1R can go to either Mark or Iain. Will Mark let Iain drive his car again?

Class 2 is still very open with Ken, Jonathan, Sean, Geoffrey, Lee (Malcolm), and David all fighting it out for first place.

Kenny and Jim will battle it out for class 2R. There will be blood.

Milind has Class 3 wrapped up, if only because of the number of events required for eligibility. He is also currently on top of the points in that class, too.

Class 3R will comes down to David J. or Mark.

Still plenty of battles to be fought in the final event in November.

Heh... Go ahead and put Mark on the trophy. :wink: Even if I do make it out to the last event, it will be in my car. I've got some dialing in to do.

Fastest run until the bumps


This is cool.

Most fun ax couse ever (so far). Nice runs.
