If it doesn't sink into my skull soon enough, I might just have to do that!

WDCR Test & Tune event Fedex Stadium 4/6/08
Competed in the WDCR Practice Event this past Sunday for SCCA members only. It was raining pretty steadily all morning and paused for the afternoon run groups (even though course was still damp/wet). Needless to say, B-stock which was in the 2nd morning heat ran in some of the worse conditions all day...
I'm really 'challenged' driving this RWD car in the wet and it showed. I spun on my first run shortly after the start and again on my third run (my fastest) right after the finish lights. At least it was a non-points practice event! My co-driver Shawn, took the win! Final results 'B Stock' - Total Entries: 6 Trophies: 2 Times Total Diff. 1T 170 Shawn Roberts 2006 Mazda Rx-8 Grey 59.378 1 57.566 56.809 55.747 55.747 - 2T 99 Frank Weichold 2005 Mazda Rx8 Grey 58.333 56.137 59.178 1 56.030 56.030 0.283 3 21 Patrick Koethe 1989 Porsche 911 Silver 60.891 59.190 58.799 58.799 2.769 4 88 Dave Wade 2004 Mazda Rx-8 Gray 63.095 1 62.359 66.241 59.606 59.606 0.807 5 70 Chike Dellimore 2006 Mazda Rx-8 Galaxy Grey 74.046 60.739 59.048 5 59.801 59.801 0.195 6 98 Steve Barber 2004 Mazda Rx-8 Green 72.411 60.418 66.108 58.494 1 60.418 0.617 Summary: 5th out of 6 in B-stock 120th out of 172 in PAX Course map (courtesy SVXRide) While Team WTF?! was there, I'm not sure any pictures were taken due to the rain. Next event is BRR-SCCA Event #2 in Salem, VA this coming Sunday.

Can the Mods move this thread to the Motorsports forum?
FYI - the course for the WDCA event is in the autocross season thread already in the Motorsports forum. -Bill

That's correct. I've signed up for the season subscription. They're also planning on starting a Pro Solo series this year and I will attend all of those events as well. I doubt I'll make any AI events at Fedex though. I'm trying to do a full Blue Ridge Region schedule also. Chike

BRR-SCCA Event #2 Salem, VA 4/13/08
Competed in the Blue Ridge Region's event #2 in Salem, VA yesterday. Temps were in the low 50F range with a cool wond blowing. Course was quite tight in many areas, and speeds rarely got above the 45-50mph range.
B-stock was a three person class (4th driver competed in the Novice group), and I was up against Kevin Smith, a veteran of the sport who I had met 2 years ago when I was still a novice. Final results were as follows: BS - B Stock Pax: 0.832 1t KEVIN SMITH 04 MAZDA RX8 GREEN 51.471 2 CHIKE DELLIMORE 06 MAZDA RX-8 GREY 51.918 3 CHAD HENRY 05 MAZDA RX-8 BLUE 52.535 Linkey: http://www.brr-scca.org/04132008.htm Summary: 2nd out of 3 in B-stock 4th out of 59 in PAX (5th fastest RAW time) Pics of B-stock action: Kevin Chad Chike

You guys chalk your courses. That's adorable.
We drop the noobs off at the deep end and see which ones can swim.

The WDCR courses at Fedex Stadium aren't chalked, so it can be a bit trickier for novices - even though they have a great novice coordinator in Brian Garfield.

That lot is relatively flat, but they are some elevation changes. Fedex definitely has some major elevation changes and definitely adds another 'complexity' to figuring out the courses.
