North Texas S2k event #5 - Mineral Wells, 8/27/05

I had a great time too. Kudos to Clovis and the gang.

Despite my reputation, I actually learned something on every run and managed to improve substantially by the end of the day. Much better than my last S2K event.

Well, at least you can claim to have improved... my last two runs were actually the worst times of the day! I found the course hard, there wasn't one run where I finished with that feeling of "that went just right", and this was entirely down to poor driving (although the last two runs may also have been helped by running lower pressures and not cooling the tires). I think now that I actually pushed the car way too hard, uner the impression that I had new tires and could therefore take any corner at any speed hence almost losing it several times and scattering cones all over the place!

All in all, it was a very good course. It's the sort of thing it's be nice to try again, having had the opportunity to go away and think...

Just a quick note to say the Cheif or Workers has been named. He's a licensed SCCA Safety Steward, an instructor, and a ham radio operator. Thanks to Hal Collins for quickly stepping up to fill this very important role.

Hal sent me a PM, he was wondering if he had to eat a stale cheese sandwich to be workers cheif? Anyone got an answer for him?

Good job Halthing!

Wow I am happy. .010 off of the fastest Rcompound s2000. For anyone who says you need power to autoX BS, especially on a course like that, it needed perfection for all of the elements to get it right. The back section was tough.
