Well, that was entertaining (yes, I came home early ;)). I worked all night and was up before that... bear with me and there's no need for the :cat: thing.
jrj512 seemed to be one of the most aggressive Miata drivers out there... great work, at least from what I could see. Sorry I couldn't get with you guys to tell you I was leaving.
Lessons learned:
1. I'm going to SCCA events exclusively, because they mark the track with lines, so there's a much better chance of me NOT getting lost.
2. It's FAR less complicated than I thought.
3. These people are idiots. And I love it.
Yes, I'll be competing when I can. :D
There's always a need for labeling you with the :cat: thing. ;)Quote:

Just wait till you get behind the wheel, that's exactly what my dad said when we walked the course his first time :DQuote:

Fun course and a very nice venue. Congrats to JRJ for winning Tire class, POS won C stock, Miatamoto won BS and Mark52 won CSP (kudos to the rest of you mugs who trophied as well).
I think Miatae took home all the Tire class trophies (6 of them to be exact)
Yes, both SCCA and ER chalk the courses. I do not believe that anyone else does. It will not take you long to read a course without chalk, so plan on attending events from other clubs, too.
That was a great course today. The good thing about Piper creating a course I do not like (the last ER event) is that he always comes back with a great course to make up for it. Good job!
Also, kudos to SCCA for a very smooth event. Things went much better than our last visit to La Grave.
That was a fun day, but it was a touch warm. ::Drive2::
So Solo RX-7 how did the wireless lights work??
Hey, I'm not saying I'm going to not suck like a Hoover the first time I go out, but it's less complicated that "I" personally thought it would be :DQuote:

Yep, that was a fun day, in spite of the heat. Great course, great site, great competition.
I came up a little short in B Stock today. No excuses, I just got outdriven. Miatamoto is going to be tough competition in what was already a tough class before he showed up.
Congrats to the other class winners. Oh, and did I mention that STU was won by a couple of Civics today? :mrgreen:
Smooth running event and a great course. Especially considering the new timing equipment, very impressive. :clap:
Cracked me up. The announcers were talking up the B-stock battle from the first heat (we ran in the 3rd). I even think I heard Altiain talking some smack when he was announcing in heat 2. Great competition in B-stock.
BTW, I thought you were going to make some of the STU guys cry. Very funny stuff. ;)
Beautifully. Not one incident all day that we could attribute to the equipment. We had one problem in the first heat that turned out to be batteries for the start emitter. We thought they were new batteries but it turns out they weren't. By the time we got the wired system ready to take over the wireless system was back online with new batteries. Never had to make a single run with the wired system. It worked flawlessly the rest of the day.Quote:

Anyone notice who was top PAX today? :drive::wink: I hope it sticks after audit...
That's great news! Seems like we had more problems because of the old cables... ::Rant::Quote:

No way. Then the truth will come out... I was just along for the ride and got lucky. :DQuote:

Enjoy it while it lasts! Because...Quote:

Hmmm, now that the BS battle is simmering down, we might now have a new PAX battle.Quote:

Lemme check my handy-dandy results file. hmmmm.Quote:

So that makes the total (line up the decimal places, carry the 1...)
ALOT!
Actually just 1.602 seconds. :drive:
In much smaller print.... Miatamoto was right on my heels with his nitrous-fed RX-8 just 0.266 back. (That's the only thing I can think of that makes the piston-less B-Stockers go so fast)
BTW. what was up with Mr Saunders yesterday, couldn't help but notice he was taking a bit of time to get his last runs in. I'm sure the corner workers soaking in there own juices didn't mind the delay... :confused:
Great day at the races and a day where Son tops Dad and brings home his first trophy. Youth is such a wonderful thing. Congratulations Christopher!! ::Banana::
I do, can't find my USB card reader though I'll post pictures and a vid up ASAPQuote:

This might belong in Tech, but learn from my mistake: Sometimes you can get a bit carried away with running on next to no gas in your car. :bash:
Found the "low fuel" light, huh? I found mine once...Quote:

Lights are for :cat:'s! Guess I didn't notice since mine will probably not go out until I need to pass inpection again next year.Quote:

That was a 70 sec run.
