Random find -- came across this pic someone snapped of me and Kevin doing a course walk that morning. Great guy who I hope to run against more in the future! Quote:

New role in the BRR-SCCA
I've volunteered to take on the role of Novice Coordinator with the BRR, which was unanimously accepted by the solo board. Here's hoping I can help grow and retain new membership in the club.
Next event is the WDCR Event #1 this coming Sunday, followed by the BRR Solo school the following Saturday 4/26 (instructing) and BRR Event #3 on Sunday 4/27.

Wet! Wet! Wet! WDCR Event #1 4/20/08 Fedex Stadium
WDCR event #1 is now behind me. It was a deluge of rain followed by a drying period, and then the cycle would repeat again and again... Afternoon run groups were cancelled due to lightning.
B-stock ran the 3rd heat in the morning after a deluge came down during the final runs of Heat 2. There were 6 drivers in class. My codriver Shawn took the win again and was 6th overall in PAX!!! Final results were as follows: 'B Stock' Pos. # Driver Car Run1 Run2 Run3 Run4 Total Diff 1 170 Roberts, Shawn 2006 Mazda Rx-8 Grey 67.158 65.068 64.423+1 63.985 63.985 0 2 99 Weichold, Frank 2005 Mazda Rx8 Grey 70.673 67.984 67.027 65.244 65.244 1.259 3 98 Barber, Steve 2004 Mazda Rx-8 Green 69.886 73.480 68.646 67.290 67.290 2.046 4 70 Dellimore, Chike 2006 Mazda Rx-8 Galaxy Grey 73.955 72.244 69.102 67.762 67.762 0.472 5 15 Myrons, Bill 2003 Nissan 350Z Blue 86.602 82.567 80.211 76.837 76.837 9.075 6 134 Gagnon, Nicole 2005 Mazda Rx-8 Grey 84.354+DNF 84.770+DNF 89.649 84.760 84.760 7.923 Sumary: 4th out of 6 in class 43rd out of 132 in PAX Pics were scarce, but here's a few: Driver's meeting anyone???

The only picture I've found of me from the wet event we had Saturday:

Actually, we do a one-off event at a local community college (in conjunction with a big car show) on a site that does have significant elevation to it. We like to place sharp corners up and around positive elevation so the front goes all light. That's sort of fun.
