So glad I'm working in the trailer, although reading the little numbers on those cars is a huge PITA.
The UTA event is Saturday at UTA. Some will likely show up Sunday at ER.

I think i'll go to this event. I haven't done an event since BMWCCA at TMS.
That might be the shortest course I have ever seen.
Here's my best run. It was a Rapide Pax run.

I won ST-class w/ a 36.9, but the 2nd place guy banged out a 36.6 during Rapide Pax and I couldn't manage faster than a 36.7 (video run).

I'm not sure if the cone moved after I quit stepping on it :lol:
ETA: I think this is the definition of "not backsiding" the cone :)
Thanks Dennis, :clap: I really liked the ones of the back of the car in the 180. I was able to see what the inside tires are doing.
+1 even for Pennington that was sad.Quote:

I actually liked the course because the two 180's helped teach me some patience and the 15 slalom cones helped me work on my slalom. I really used the day as a practice event.
I wasn't, I was enjoying a day at the golf course instead. I was commenting from Ken's video.Quote:

The course was as long as possible without a loop, or being too tight or 1 car on course. I guess the the course designer did not want to do a loop because of the FSAE cars (a lot of novices) and the number of cars +100.
That being said the course was not my cup of tea just because I don't like slaloms and I did badly, but their was nothing wrong with the course. (this was not my course design)
When are you going to design us a course for Peen CosmosMpower? It's hard to do one that we haven't done before, one that is not 1 car on course or a big overlap, and longer then 40sec.
Relax, all I said is that it was short which it was. I'm sure they had a good reason to make it that way but 30 seconds for fast cars is not a long course by any standards at any venue. Standing around in the heat all day with 100+ cars for 3 minutes of seat time just doesn't appeal to me. But if you don't have a cap at your events then stuff like this happens.Quote:

Perhaps if you had prefaced your comments by saying, "Unless the course suits me, I'd rather chase a little white ball around a pasture, but here's what I think of the course based on second hand information..."
Don't get your depends in a bunch, I'm just screwing around with you old guys. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DQuote:

Perhaps you may want to take some of your own advise. ::2Cents::Quote:

Sadly I can't make every event this season but I am glad your thinking of me! :rolleyes:Quote:

Am I reading the results correctly when I see that Brude/Whitney a ran a Cayman? Are they preparing/campaigning this car, or were they just fooling around with it at this one event? I've been waiting for some national-class drivers to really work on a Cayman.
I believe the Cayman is prep for National level. I think it has AST shocks and light wheels.
This is their second or third event in the car. I think they wanted something to use when they did not feel like breaking out the Vette.Quote:

* Just teasing about the "autocross" comments... I really do love it, but couldn't resist...
