Reply With QuoteOverall the course really favored smaller cars. Getting the M3 through it was tough.
I would like to see more courses design like the first half. Once past the box it got tighter and tighter.
The first half of the course was fun, the second half was painful, just to tight. I also did not like having cars in grid so close to the finish.

M3 is always the answer.
One of the better PCA events I've been to. 5 runs before noon, home by 1!
Also agree that the course was a bit too tight towards the end. The pivot before the finish blew. Thanks to the dude on the scooter for that gift...

On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

Course was tough but I like the fact that it isn't easy or like alot of the others. I do think that the finish was pretty hairy though if you got it right.
Results?

It could be a while.
What Robert said. They can be pretty slow as posting results.
Is this a side-effect of driving slow cars??

The reason the course tightened up at the end was to limit the speed of the cars as they finished. As mentioned the cars were gridded close to the end of the course and safety was the deciding factor.
If you carried to much speed through the finish you collected some cones.

+1 Thanks Travis and PCA for letting us come out and play!
Can't remember if I've run ax with the PCA before? Does the OJ class require black driving gloves or is it some sort of spec Bronco thing?
If you were not in a P-car, they used to class you in OJ (Other Japanese), OG (Other German), OA, and so on. They have since changed that in order to class the other cars better, but some poeple are still classed the old way for some reason. Frankly, I find the new classing a little confusing and I would prefer just going back to the old versions.
BMW is the same way. They have comprehensive classing for BMWs, but the other cars are just in X, Y, or Z. I like the X, Y, and Z so much that I pretty much copied it for the NTAXS. KISS -- Keep It Simple, Stupid.
