Me?? 0 for 5 runs. I did blow a gate rather than go round and round. I made a few wiggle.

There may be a grainy VIDIO surface soon.

So, what F/R air pressures did you end up running?

I think I heard 38/40. but in the rain, we didn't change them. I just tried to adjust so I could get the most out of the set up we had. On the run w the 'off', I decided to put it into a 'drift' to see what happened. It came right out of it as soon as I decided that I was done drifting. I did have a little issue . When I apexed and dropped the hammer, all 4 slicks lit off and I had to back out till it hooked again.

Did we mention the rain?

A car that was doing 51 sec runs all day was doing 62 sec (in the rain) It was the Moran family impreza. Posner's Accura was only running high 55's. The Corvettes were cutting 67 to 72 range.
I would have loved to have had a dry run.

38 front/34 rear
After my runs the rear tires were not warm yet.
It was finding the path in a sea of orange cones that was most daunting!

For his first run!
He got 69.933
Second, 63.204
Third, 63.204
fourth, dnf(it was raining)
final, did I mention lots of rain,
on slicks,
spinning all four!
62.316!!!





Unfortunatley, my runs were not able to be recorded as they would upset the balance of nature!
To keep things fair I opted to disconect the S/C as Jerry is VERY OLD!



















73.580
Are you happy now?!
It WAS fun!!!

My 'off' run was 63.287. including the drift experiment

[Budfreak]

That was fun! I got to see many different cars run and it was a blast watching Jerry give cones a "shave" without moving them off there spots.

Wahoo! Welcome to the land of no off camber course conditions! Looks like a high 40/low 50 second course. What was the FTD?

It was the same sat except the figure 8 on the far end was added for sunday. Tom can use this for a training vid so he can get used to what the cones mean.

Yeah but they do have those runway marker lights

I think they said it costs about $200 if you take one out. I almost got a more accurate quote...

Dave Williams almost bought one with a black German made car with a big 7 on the hood and number 944 on the back. He told me that "if you run into the grass with all 4 wheels, you're done for the day". The only car that DID that was his!
