What a fucking weekend...


Thank you EVERYONE who helped me keep things moving along this weekend! We had more than our fair share of problems, but everybody pulled together and made it happen. Not once did I turn to someone for help and get a negative response.

Well, you should have heard the negative responses I was mentioning to myself yesterday as I was coding the website up to include boilerplate text on every solo event with the schedule info.

I only understand about 1/3 of what you just said, but I'll take it as you were doing something unpleasant, in order to help me out... so THANKS!

It is an interesting challenge to drive with intermittent power steering.
I thought i fixed my power steering issues with a new pump, but i was getting slight slight cut out ... maybe i should have flushed all the fluid ? or at least changed the in line filter??

mine was directly after the non directional slalom and didn't affect my time (my poor driving did that)

I saw Joe i believe it was, very sideways at turn 2 , almost worked out for him but not quite...

i think you should up the rear sway a little more and enter some drift comps !

Yup he just clipped that pointer cone, I was sitting at the start watching it as well.

I probably could, tighten up the sway, lock the diff in the rear and go. Kevin M. was in the car on my first run for a dorifto on the back sweeper, but I couldn't keep it together and spun. It was actually kind of funny, as one of the drift guys that were out there came up to me after the event asking if I was into drifting.

I rather enjoyed that run. The part of my brain saying "gee, I am pretty sure Kev's coming in pretty hot on cold tires, and we're going back asswards towards the bleachers" was competing well with the other part of my brain going "OMGWE'REGONNADIERUNRUNRUNOMGWTFBBQ!"

Yup. I will be there.

I believe Dewey/Cory are the chairs this weekend.

Thanks Mike!

What a weekend! "Mini Catalunya" will DEFINITELY be going into the database to be used again in the future! It was a fantastically challenging and FAST course! Dewey did an amazing job putting it together!

Thanks again everyone who helped out this weekend!

yes that course was a blast. i kept making different mistakes each run through and had basically the same time every run. my last run was a re-run and my tires were too hot, but i don't like making everyone working the course wait just so they can cool down. tires definitely lost a little grip with the back to back and didn't quite stick at the same speeds . stupid understeer. lost about a 1/2 second on my last run but it did give Jeana twice the rides so it worked out pretty darn good
