Event #10&11
 

What does Dean and Kevin have planned for us?

Nothing, I don't think they're running that event... it's Randy and Jimmy prepping a 'Vette course for all the visiting Corvette Club folks.

Yarp. We're doing the October event.

Sounds like you better stay home D. ;)

Roll call, how did everyone do? I ended up with a 43.724. Most important ahead of Vick Chalk. Hope to get more than one PAX point but it may only be a dream. See you all in the A.M.

I got a -$40 on a useless vacuum bleeder, 4 decent cuts on my hands, and a clutch I'm not sure is bled properly but it doesn't matter since the whole thing needs to be replaced before next weekend anyway.

Low 44.3xx... That surface turned to SHIT in the afternoon. It's funny since Nick was saying something about someone pouring cooking oil on the track and ruining his day. Yeah, like that. Best part is, thanks to Mr. Evans, SM gets to run in the same part of the day tomorrow as well, when it's nice and hot, and the track surface has about the same consistency as goose crap! Yay! I've literally driven on ICE before that had more grip than that!

Lack of grip, timing issues in the AM that put the afternoon group at least an hour behind schedule, and a newbie grid master in the PM that was screwing up the order of carts/one driver/two driver cars all put aside, I did have a fun time as I almost always do!

I done good. I drove it like ti was Kevin's. :twisted:

Wow, Sounds like a pretty fucked up afternoon, I'm glad I split. Tomorrow should be a pretty trying day, we'll have a HUGE turnout tomorrow, and that re-seal is absolute garbage. I think the seal must be different than what's been used before, I don't remember it ever getting so slick.. The best I could do today was a 42.6 clean and a 42.4 w/ cone. Not real good.

Did they slurry seal the tarmac? Last time they did that, the track was *garbage* in the heat... it took a few events before the slippy was worn out of it.

thats exactly what they did.

i ran a 45.8 then my tires turned to sludge.

They sealed the eastern side where alot of the surface was ruff and coming up. You couldn't do anything with the last four turns going into the finish but crawl. I personally over drove the finish every damn time.

I hear that one, sliding all over the place at the end... I ran 44.732...

The surface definitely felt worse in the afternoon. I had to fight hard just to match my morning time.

I crushed Dean like a bug ... LIKE A BUG!!!

Where did you (MikeK) and Dean finish in relation to ...say...me??? Dean all but guaranteed he'd beat me, so I want to know how that worked out for him.

That slurry seal is the worst thing EVER!

I got 41.982
Dean got 42.886.

It didn't work out too well for him at all :)

Sucks about the slurry. I was pretty inconsistent as usual. But the car feels great, especially on a course I don't have to shift down to 1st on.

I'd like to thank D for the sick magnet.

I got a 43.1 on my 3rd run and a 43.7 on my 5th...and I even got a free run due to that damn timing issue nobody is fond of.

I would also like to point out that Rachel got a 42.9! :eek:

I was sooo pissed this morning when I found out that I couldnt race.... The car is handling sooo well too. oh well, next race for sure when I have a decent paycheck

Holy crap! Where would that put her in BSL?

Nice Job Mike, well Done.

Last :lol:

Aussies are ruining autocross!

Good job Mike. I think you actually got to use your turbo today. My extra low end torque didn't help me much. I should have dropped to first in the twisties.

My fastest raw was 42.3, still not fast enough to catch you, but I caught the cone I never catch and always point and laugh at people who do, the one on the corner before the start lights. Trying to hard... Need to focus tomorrow... My eyes weren't where they were supposed to be either damn it. To hot, old brain gets weary easily. Let's see, what other excuse can I come up with...

Oh, forgot to take my walker out of th trunk, and that weight slowed me down???

"Yes Rich, [Christensen, host of "PINKS" & "PINKS - All Out" on SPEED Channel] Mike outperformed me on that run..." -Dean
