Van, that was such a fun corse, very unique, I liked how it drove. I coned away a 41.6 right at the end. But I had nothing for Cody, dude, you killed us today. I never thought I'd be battling for top raw time week after week, but it's fun to push for it. Awesome day Seccs. I also love that Kevin is killing it with fwd, haha

cody · 2010-05-02, 02:35 PM

Thanks for the props guys. I never imagined I'd win Pax at an event. The new wider wheels and tires are definitely the hot ticket.

It's really coming together for a lot of us, I can see. Matt threw down a sick time in the first run group this morning that I couldn't even touch in the afternoon when I RNP. I know SECCS did really well...can't wait to see the results for today.

I told Van, that I really enjoyed the course. I agree that it was unique. Especially yesterday, I loved how the elements flowed perfectly and required some serious skill to string together correctly. I also loved the slalom. I think the slalom cones were stretched a little wider than usual, which made it seriously fast. So much fun! Thanks to everyone who helped out.

MattR · 2010-05-02, 02:49 PM

I don't know what the distance was, but I was carrying stupid high speed through that slalom, I loved it, they must have been close to 60' apart. Today's course was challenging for sure....the turn to the finish was friggin awesome, Van, I hope you made a map of that course, it's one of those courses you can build on and tweak to perfection.

Anyway, looking forward to the results...I felt pretty good about my times in the early group today. Randy Jones rode along with me and was near speechless...I didn't know that was possible...

MikeK · 2010-05-02, 02:58 PM

Round 3 results might be a while. Jason has a lot of errors to fix from this afternoon.

Kevin M · 2010-05-02, 03:03 PM

If my 41.153 was clean (and I never found out for certain that it was) then I won today. And if it wasn't clean, then my 41.341 probably won today.

I had a 40.9 going on my 5th run, but pushed it too hard through the finish and took out two cones and coasted to a 41.2. Not looking forward to the next event weekend though, where all the fast SP guys are running later in the day than me! I expect to lose some points on those days.

k-dogg39 · 2010-05-02, 05:17 PM

Damn, wish I could have been there

A1337STI · 2010-05-02, 05:47 PM

41.341 is a great HS time! good work! and the 41.1 is ever better if thats clean!

MikeK · 2010-05-02, 06:52 PM

Round 3 results posted.

dknv · 2010-05-02, 07:15 PM

MikeK · 2010-05-02, 07:17 PM

BTW great job this weekend, Van. Everything went smoothly, and the courses were challenging but still fun, especially today.

Yesterday's last corner was a bit frustrating, but crossing the finish line at full throttle today was a blast!

That's what I'm saying...dude, nice run, you and Bryan N put down some really quick runs, wow.

Oh, and dammit Kevin...

szucchet · 2010-05-02, 07:52 PM

i wish i could had made it today, sounds like you guys had fun

you're wasting all that power to the rear wheels dude. You guys should just drop your driveshafts and get back that power loss.

MattR · 2010-05-02, 08:16 PM

You're not making it any better...your signature sucks too...

Kevin M · 2010-05-02, 08:20 PM

FYI Debbie, your 42.1 in the afternoon would have been handily enough for top Ladies' PAX, and 8th in Open PAX despite coning your 41 away. I'd say you take coaching pretty well.

Kevin M · 2010-05-02, 08:47 PM

I'm also loving that on any given day, there are at least 8 people who can win PAX... even when the karts show up!

MikeK · 2010-05-02, 09:11 PM

Wow, I just saw the Pax season standings so far. Well done you guys! I guess now we want the surface to stay crappy all year

Skidder · 2010-05-03, 07:41 AM

I came out to see the course on Saturday... the course looked pretty tough. It also looks like 95% of the Subarus at the event are also on this forum.

cody · 2010-05-03, 08:04 AM

I'd guess more like 60%.

I'm happy with that, also considering that's my first time in a FWD car. (Although those were my 6th through 10th runs, too. Sorry to course workers who had to repair the damages I left behind, I think I got the same cone twice on Mike's corner.

)

I'm sure I had it coming

A1337STI · 2010-05-24, 11:10 AM

Who will win pax Sat & sunday?

cody and Matt will be racing last on saturday. lots of time for Rides and course walking, and course cleaning. I expect they will both be in the top 5! How affected with Kevin be by running in the first run group? (probably not enough for my liking! lol)

Sunday Kevin's in the 3rd group , with vic and I in the 4th with Green going first. Matt really wasn't affected last time he had to race first so i still expect a top 5 (top 3) out him .. Cody might slip a few spots whos's gonna come out of the weekend with the most pax points earned?
i'm guessing
Matt, Kevin, Cody for the 1-3 spots..

anyone else want to make guesses?

cody · 2010-05-24, 11:13 AM

I predict that my performance next weekend will be unpredicable, given my track record.

van · 2010-05-24, 11:35 AM

I predict Kevin will come in here and brag about how well He's going to do this weekend, then do the same all Saturday and Sunday.
