aw c'mon!?!?

Chuck Spera bails out.

bad enough Tina_Reeves thinks she was going to cherry pick a class for a tyre. That doesn't happen in my state!!

Cue awesome quotes from Ghostbusters for next weekend.

As your signature says:"Highly entertaining. For others":). Impressive time on last run, esp when you factor in the spin:). Longest auto-x course I have ever seen-nothing like we have around here, not that I have that much experience.

i keep timing the spin and w/o i would have won the weekend by about 1/4 second. I have never been to a runway course and it just showed how underprepared teh car was. Had i known they called me off course at the spin area despite me hitting the cones but not going outside of any gates, i would have protetsted and hopefully gotten a rerun. I could have easily knocked the 2 seconds i needed off.

 

I had a great time nonetheless. Even w/ torrential downpours on Friday night cutting short the number of my course walks. the courses were measured out ~5000'. And excellent condition.

 

On the 2nd day at the end of the 1st slalom, cars were on the rev limiter in 2nd for a while but the stock zx1 just has no power above 6000rpm. Hopefully that changes next year. I will be on real tyres, though.

 

The unfortunate part, this may be the last year for even local events at Seneca Army Depot. The local county has decided not to rent the site for autoXing any more.
