Meh, John Garcia could fix that up at the site.
And he could do it with just a paper clip, jumper cables, and a car battery! ::Banana::Quote:

The manufacturer has a new one on its way... it was in Kentucky the last time I checked this morning. :burnrubr:

Make sure you click "HD" to see it in HD.
Fun layout... still learning the r-comps. I started out with way too little air in them and only on my 6th run did I actually have enough pressure lol. Oh well.
Well, I'm not quite up to the level of the ES and STS guys who were out there today, but I did manage to represent the 1.6ers in novice. Took 2nd place out of 9 or so noobs. Great course today, great weather, and the BMW guys cleared most of the gravel to the sides for us on Saturday.
BTW- KYB AGX's made a HUGE difference for me today. The adjustments were useful,a dn the fact that I was no longer running on 180,000 mile struts might have had some benefit as well...
So I tried to find the results over on ER's website but couldn't. Where are they!!!!
It takes a bit for them to get uploaded. Patience :)
Oh ok. I just wasn't sure if I was missing them because others were talking about their placement.Quote:

congrats to Steve E on 2nd place
hard work over the winter paid off
It was a fun event would have been nice if I had remembered my sunscreen....
Had a co-driver at this event which was pretty nice, learned a few things from Lost216. It is nice to get a second opinion on your setup. We both agreed that last years worn out Kumho's were a bad ideal, but suprising they lasted for the 12 runs we put on the car yeasterday!
The car finished 2nd and 3rd in CS so all in all not that bad of a start to '09! ::Banana::
Should have run his R1R "cheater tires" ;)Quote:

But they are new! And I need them as daily driver tires, I just couldn't sacrifice them to the tarmac at Mineral Wells. ;)Quote:

If you don't know where you placed then you probably don't want to see the results anyway ;)Quote:

And at the end of the event they have an awards presentation where they tell you who the trophy winners were, did ya run home early??
Plus if you ask nice enough they will even show you the sheets after the event is over.

So we left a little early.
Ya did do your work assignment before ya took her home didn't ya??
Are the results up yet?::Banana::
Yeah. I worked first, ran second.Quote:

And sorry for all the 2nd heat timing issues. Something kept blowing across the timing lights (or they kept moving) after SS 52 took the finish line out so we kept getting these 14 - 50 second runs recorded. I'm sure everyone hated all their reruns :)
Yeah thats what I though. Cause after I ran my first times I heard them say, "Benjamin Romans in with a 84. whatever. He is currently 1st place in ST." And I was like, what about novice??? How would I get ahold of the ER staff. It even said "1NST" on my car. Oh and btw if that was your evo out there, which I'm assuming if was, let me know when you get tired of it. That thing is beautiful.Quote:

Your car said NST 1, but the computer said ST. It was my first time running timing so I didn't know what the heck I was supposed to do when the computer was messed up. They do an audit before they post things officially, so I'm sure they'll fix it up.
You weren't the only one wrong in the computer. There was a Miata in N that wasn't in right as well as another miata that didn't have his Rapide Pax entry in correctly.
I think between it being the butt crack of dawn, the STS->ST & STS2-STS fiasco and the first event of the season things didn't run as smoothly as they have in the past. We also needed someone more experienced on the radio on turn 1 and 2. Getting cone calls of "Control, corner 1, that black miata that was before the white miata that just finished had a cone" or "Control, corner 2, 1 cone on #7" (no class designation). Not a huge deal, but it make keeping track of the cone calls a bit harder.
