We actually only had two run groups, and ran a morning then afternoon session. 3 runs, 3 runs, lunch, 3 runs, 3 runs. Morning was fast, but the afternoon just got faster.
I had a lot of fun, but I am beat right now. Right at the end of the day, when I was already starting to feel a little heat exhaustion and minor dehydration coming on, a kart hit a cone right in front of me and Matt. The cone ended up lifting his tires off the pavement and he just slid into the dirt. We were already beat, but now we had to go drag a kart back onto the pavement. What's worse is that the cone ended up wrapped in the front axle so the front wheels weren't turning. I don't think I've ever physically worked so hard at an autocross before in my life.
As for times, I'll have to verify, but I think I was only .2 off a race tire ESP camaro. So, there you have it folks, definitive proof that race tires are only worth .2 seconds on a 90 second course.
I ended up with an 88.8, Matt was running 84.5, Dean 83.5, Mike had an 82.x but it was dirty. I can't remember what his best clean time was. I think everyone else was running while I was working so I don't really recall the times. I think the fastest of the non-karts was a BSP Evo that ran an 81.6.
