Solo events 3 & 4
So, I hate a day with all dirty runs, but sure had fun seeing everybody, and seeing how well the seccs drivers are doing. I guess I missed alot of exciting finishes in the 4th run group though; I heard later there were parts flying off of cars and cones being dragged to their demise all over the place.
Tomorrow is no-kill-cone day for me. I hope. |

Don't feel bad, Lucas coned all 3 of his runs (at least two of them were multi-kills too) and it was his course. And it cost him first in ASP and a lot fo PAX spots; he may have been 1st overall after his run group.

What do you guys know about the course tomorrow?
Same course, opposite direction? 1 lap vs. 2? |

I hit cones on every run as well. In fact Tyson did too. I also had one of the huge timing cones melted onto my headers

One of my timing slips says "101.5xx +2 Totally Demolished Cones"

It was great to see everyone today! This was one of the most fun courses I've run so far, fast and long. I didn't have a clean run all day either. Had a great time though.

I feel bad that everyone was clobering cones so bad. For all the high HP folks the finish was tough, but for us low power folks, it was a no lift and hang on nail biter.
This course was definitely all about having your eyes up and knowing what was next, as well as realizing you can only lose time in the pivot cones. I had a real good day; no cones, and a top 10 PAX finish... The alignment helped a lot I think, I just wish the right front had more camber.

I had one clean run, but it was 104.xx. My 103.xx carried two cones. It was tough. Dean's advice to look out the side windows through the hairpins really helped.

I didn't have a problem with the cones as you guys did, but then again I didn't have the speed you guys did. Today however I earned my pylon assassinness and took out 6 in one run.

I've come to the conclusion that Tyson needs to smile more on course. He looked way angry accelerating past station #3. Maybe it was all the re-runs?

Results and season standings are all done. Dean has them, I have no idea when he will update the site though. Some highlights:
- Debbie won ladies pax today - Brian has taken over the lead in AS, Tyson is bringing up the rear - Matt has a nice lead in SM, and is currently 4th in pax - Pete beat me yesterday! Bastard cones!! |
