Yes, this was a challenging course, and I never really got a flow going. There were definitely fast lines out there, but they were tough for me to find consistently. At least I finally have Novice all to myself! See ya, BenRomans. :)

:thumrigh: treat 'er nice. haha
5 runs and gone by 2:45 was good. Finishing 5th behind 2 Hondas and the constant wind was not.
Caitlin in a real car propped up by 2 pillows and blushing and giggling after spinning the car was worth the trip.
LOL at the Pillows :D
Yaaa 4th place in Novice lol. First time I've ever gotten any kind of trophy for the occasion :P I now have two SCCA magnetic cones stuck to my fender lol
ETA-anyone know if anybody was taking pics today? I've got a few but nothing major and I'm putting together a slide show now.
I saw autoxmax with his camera. I'm sure he will post some photos later.
It's you.Quote:

Since we're above the equator I'm assuming those were all clockwise spins? :rolleyes:Quote:

On my last run of the day I got a DNF in the first quarter of the track by blowing past a slalom. I then consented to have some extra fun and proceeded to use the Miata like a sledge hammer beating my way though the course in the most classes fashion possible lol.
It was a good time.
Link to your pictures?? ::Banana::Quote:

Add on even more time if your car was already steering in the opposite direction. It would be great to have a test and tune at MW with something just like that so you can see the difference in speed if you turn early and get used to doing it all of the time. I still turn late. It's tough.Quote:

And remember - Jerrett Jan is the default answer when a law enforcement official is asking you what your name is. If they don't buy that Hal is a good name too.

On a more serious note -
A huge thanks to everyone who could help out with donations to Dennis. We made the deposit yesterday, and he was very appreciative. He indicated that it will really help.
I also put in an offer for help from his autocross family for anything else he needs - from helping out with rides for his family to/from the airport to you name it - we've got a wealth of resources and talent to tap. I'm confident we'll step up if needed.

Please PM if anything is need. I'm free mon-fri after 4 everyday.Quote:
