Wow, anything that can beat a Tunnell machine by 4 seconds is a beast. I remember seeing that green car the last year of Topeka.Quote:

Now shows a 4th run of 65.239....but he was winning for a little while!!!
I hope the same thing just happened in ESP! either that or the guy ran 4+sec faster that Madarash....NAhhhhhh!
Edit - Whew - already corrected... Mark 1st The General 6th with one run to go.
I ended up 22 of 43, which is better than last year's 28 of 46 finish. Like day one, I coned my first two runs and had to ease off a little in order to get a clean run. I had a good time and I will probably return next year.
Oh, and I pulled my calf chasing a cone, today. I almost had to ride back in the sweep car, but I toughed it out. Just needed a salt tablet. ;)
Still can't walk well, though.
I am surprised they let you bring farm animals on course must be a Nebraska thing.Quote:

He had a Megasquirt, but with only a few hours of dyno time to tune it the day before they left for the event. It goes to show, that mad skilz can win over money. I have neither.
I agree if I was chasing a top finish or a win, but not for mid-pack ambitions. You eventually learn to take what you can get down here. ;)Quote:

No photo evidence of it, but me too. Three of them on the second day.... coning away a 12th place finish that was well into the trophies.Quote:

Jeremy and Jon both made the stage too, Jeremy in 12th and Jon in 17th.
Next year - a TX Region sweep of the trophies for SS.
I think it was that 2006 SCCA Texas Region Solo School that we both attended our first year of autocrossing, but worked for him a little more than me. ;)Quote:

there's a reason we call him flat spot Phil http://gotcone.com/pgallery/2010_scc.../sts/img_3378/
Cone 421 West Course, back wall. When I worked 1st heat on Thursday as a fill in we estimated that well over 50% of the runs resulted in an intimate encounter with this cone.

a couple of the ST pilots hit it every run....
Some of the Atlanta guys trained a dog to fetch cones:

And if they gave out trophies for simply being badass runner up would be the dragon exige:

But first place would have to be this C4 Vette. The announcers put it best, "It Sounds Like America!":

Just posted photos of the Pro Solo:

Great shots as always Brad!
So if we trained enough dogs to fetch cones, and chimpanzees to work the radios & red flags, we could eliminate a lot of work assignments. A chimp could probably do a better job of running the computer than I do anyway!
I think the XPro class has been good for all of us in it this year. We've all been pushing each other to go faster and be more consistent. We need to keep that up and get a few more in the class too.
Now, if I can just figure out how to make my car sound like America!
Andrew and I had a chat online about my black car and his last year...he's a good guy with about $500 more than me...so he's a good guy with a budget to win :)

Does that mean that they will penalize boosted XP cars with more ballast?Quote:
