You got some new rubber lurking in the wings, just waiting for the old skins to finally wear out? ;)Quote:

Sorry, Miatamoto, if I let you drive once it you'd want to run the 255s on your 8 and that would just look too silly! :clap:Quote:

Good show from everybody! :clap:
Well, almost everybody. There were a couple of drivers that made me want to duck every time they went by. Turnout was understandably slim with 2 other events going on, but it was still a lot of fun.
Worth getting up at 5:15AM for? ....yeah, but I think it might be a while until I make the Mineral Wells run again ;)
Fun and longgggggggg course (~90 seconds). Kudos to General Default on the course design. :clap:
6 runs on a 90 sec course is always worth the drive to Miserable Wells.
General Default certainly designed a fine course. Not the usual course, but it was fun and challenging.
BEST AX I WENT TO ALL WEEK ::Banana:: even if the stinkin neon won tires
Congrats to MadMonkey for a stellar performance. :1Place: ::Good::
That thing was FAST. I never expected a Neon to handle that well.. and did you see that Subie Forrester that was running in the first heat??? It was hilarious. And fast.Quote:

I really liked that course except for the far corner after the slalom... I only managed one run through there without bogging down in 2nd. Otherwise, it was fun. Just wish I had better traction, I looked like a ricer trying to drift out there :drive:
Smile for the camera!

GREAT course! Challenging, frustrating and fun all at the same time.
I thought it was a very unique course and appreciate the thought that went into making all the elements a challenge.
Thanks General Default!
Worst. Course. Ever.
No I'm kidding! Good course, would've like to have tried it with fresh tires.
THat's become Jon's signature way to finish off a set of tires. :wink:Quote:

I wish the turn out had been greater but we did get to go home early. The two driver cars had the hardest time as turn around time was quick.
A few people had mechanical issues, including me, but I guess it is good to find these things out before the National Tour.
By the way the course was the short version. :D
