If you hadn't driven by when you did I would have noticed it. I was flashing you gang signs when I should have been inspecting my trunk.

Lady luck strikes again.

Joeyy · 2006-09-12, 12:23 PM

The results are up on the SCCA site!...

MattR · 2006-09-12, 12:45 PM

Results are indeed up, all I can say is wow!

Nick Koan · 2006-09-12, 12:57 PM

Wow. I like how Scott clinched 3rd place, without first or second being decided (and its a freaking tie!)

Good luck both of you. Hell, at this point I don't really care who gets first between Matt and Mike cause its definitely a SECCS dominated podium for SM.

At the last event I am going to crash into him and take him out Alonso/Schumacher style

Nick Koan · 2006-09-12, 01:04 PM

Eggcelent!

Just make sure you turn a fast lap first.

Joeyy · 2006-09-12, 01:12 PM

Is there a run off in the event of a tie?

Nick Koan · 2006-09-12, 01:13 PM

I think it would have to come down to total number of wins, second places and third places (etc...)

dknv · 2006-09-12, 02:13 PM

Only 41 drivers on Sat. and 35 on Sunday? How many runs did everyone get? Was it scheduled down to 3 run groups across the day?

Wish I could've driven, but I'm recovering from a discectomy.

Nick Koan · 2006-09-12, 02:18 PM

2 run groups both days. 2 laps per run.

Saturday had 6 runs total and Sunday had 5.
Saturday was:
Group 1 - 3 runs
Group 2 - 3 runs
lunch
Group 1 - 3 runs
Group 2 - 3 runs.

Saturday was
Group 1 - 5 runs
lunch
Group 2 - 5 runs

To quote Tony Stewart..." I'll get into a car crashing war if that's what he wants, I don't care!"

I found myself getting so nervous and on edge in the car this weekend, especially since it was a two lap course, very time I'd get a good first lap going, I'd stress out on the second lap and drive on pins and needles. Sunday's drive was fueled by desperation, as that would have been the season if Mike had edged me.

Joeyy · 2006-09-12, 02:38 PM

I just unloaded the Falkens from the rear of the grocery getter. Looking things over, my right rear took Suday hard. I lowered the rears down to 36 psi and felt I was getting better grip from the west taxiway onto the runway but the wear was increased by 10x. I was hoping to get two seasons out of them but it isn't looking good and wow I've never had so much brake dust. Maby it was all the two lap runs?

I don't believe there is a rule for tie-breakers. I believe we award co-champions.

I nearly had a small brake fire going in the pits after I came off course Sunday, I guarantee my brakes have never been as hot as they were then. Chris V was laughing as the smoke was coming off the front wheels

I guess going into full ABS 4 times per run will do that for you

I hope I get the top half of the jacket!

MattR · 2006-09-12, 03:00 PM

If we tie we need to come up with some tie braker. Ties are for pussies and soccer players.

How about we street race for it. A true indicator of motoring skill.

You can have the sleeves. I think it would look cool without sleeves, kinda like Sly Stallone in "Over the top"

I sprayed my tyres after one run and the water dripped onto the rim and started boiling

I also have a blister on my thumb from where I got burned dropping the pressure after a run

That event was definately harsh on brakes!

Do you get the jacket with the class win and what does the winner of pax recieve?

MikeK · 2006-09-12, 03:09 PM

Class win == a jacket, or just a new patch if you already have a jacket from a previous year. Last year we also got hats with the class embroidered onto it.

Pax win == plastic trophy last year.

MattR · 2006-09-12, 03:12 PM

If MikeK wins SM, he'll get a patch, because he's a winner.
If Mattr wins SM, he gets a jacket because he has always finished 2nd or 3rd.

Co-winners should get vests

Nick Koan · 2006-09-12, 03:13 PM

Or if you guys split the next weekend, would then MikeK get a patch and MattR get a jacket but no patch?

(oh, and f you guys. I'm using then properly here

)
