In 2012 the world is going to end take advantage of 2011

See what happens when your hair turns gray? Either that, or I operate in my own space time continuum

Karlye took that one. That's actually Ryan... before he grew the mustache and got sick.

Man I'm really pissed I missed this event. Hopefully we can get R1 next semester!

I take it you were the person in the Red M3, just remember going into a slalom you need to look ahead, which was hard with this one since the end slalom cone was over the hill.

it looked like to me that you were behind everytime in the slalom just because you were going too fast. I slowed down my slalom attack and gained 1 second, esp on the second loop which really required less speed.

Oh BTW you might want to check your exhaust, I think you may have a nasty manifold leak.

Probably true. I'll look into that.

This is possible if you want to do it; drop us a note and we can help you set it up (in the future).

Will do!

I still can't believe this event worked out as well as it did...on such short notice and being able to run on a clear lot! It was scary as hell for me the week before but well worth it . Definitely helped that I had some good help getting things setup. Steve, I have never seen anyone mult-task as well as you did Saturday! Thanks for basically running registration by yourself and getting it done! Escobar, Zach, Kellan, you guys made it out to the lot before I even did, thats dedication @ 5:30am in 30 degree weather! And Stefan, thanks as always for getting the trailor to the lot and everyone teched! There are lots more that made a difference, thanks everyone!

As for our course designs, its done by a guy with a Miata, so yeah they usually are geared towards smaller, lighter autos. If we ever are able to get a large enough lot, similar to the Anderson one we had last year, we will have designs occasionally that are good for the heavier, higher horsepower group. The 335 isn't a big fan of traction either, especially in first lol.

I can make a course more suited to larger cars, but with how small the lot is, for us small guys we will be running sub 30 second laps and that is with a loop. Not enough time to get any heat in the tires at all. Plus for the speeds we would be able to do we would need to space things out further from curbs making the lot even smaller. I would love to make a more open course though.

I can't wait to have an event at Andrson in the spring. Much better lot for more open cources.

I actually thought that the course was well done for the size of the lot. coming back up the hill I was ALMOST hitting the rev limiter. Most courses that I have done MAYBE hit the limiter once or twice.
