If she doesn't want to drive, get her some ride alongs. Make sure to pick the ones with A/C, it's gonna be hot.
My wife is planning to attend this event. They could sit in the shade of the stadium or the trees on the north side and visit.Quote:

Does ER have pre-reg on DLB or anywhere else? If not I may just show up if I feel like changing tires that morning, I've never done an ER event before.
No theres no online registration, lately we've been able to get through the registration line pretty quick. I'll be there on your old s2k suspension!Quote:

Lost216 1st, GerryT 2nd and yours truly 3rd in ES. GerryT 1st and Lost216 2nd in Rapide PAX. They changed to V710, I didn't.
Mrs. cone-cerned wanted to come to this event, I didn't have to talk her into it.
I think she likes to check up on me occasionally.
... and don't forget to as POS Racing about his tire choice.
BTW, Ken showed up in a Boxster loaner car and still took first in Tire. It was just myself, Darron65, and Ken in Tire.
Congrats to Gerry T and lost216 for their top PAX finishes. Congrats to Jeremy for sneaking into the win after I coned away my fastest regular run. I had to settle for 7th in the PAX, but since Jeremy and I ran in 1st heat in the real rain (instead of the drying 2nd heat) on street tires, I don't think we did so bad.
Lesson of the day? Kumho SPT street tires rock. Over 1.1 Lateral Gs in the rain and standing water. Heck, we saw plenty of peaks over 1.05 Gs even with the stability control on. :shock:
2nd lesson of the day? Whatever no-name street tires Jon bought, stay away from them. He was over 2 seconds back from us today, even though he ran in much better conditions in 2nd heat. In fact, I think Jon got straight-timed by just about everyone today. :wink:
My tire choice was bad..... :(Quote:

You would be better off putting the money into instruction and seat time, Sparky.Quote:

I agree. Keep running the rest of the season (at least) on your street tires.Quote:

I agree, also, stay with your street tires.Quote:

Results and Points posted
Thanks to SpinOutF500 for the audit and points work.
Once again nearly a second faster on the PAX runs. ::Rant::
Thanks for a well-run event. Don't know how you guys do it.
Man, Lost216 is really flyin' these days! I think he needs to show his stuff in Houston. Pretty sure he could bring home a trophy. (Note to self: Ask Lorin what meds he's on these days.);)
