That color sounds eerily familiar -- I'll have to check my gear for missing stuff.

Re: 12/05/2015 Brooksville Post-event

Man! Lots of "FAST" drivers today. Need to learn the new [to me] ride and shake the rust off my boots. Good to see some old faces.

Agreed that Chicago box was sinister and would truly make or break a run. :bangwall:

Re: Endurocross 2014 - Aug 9 @ Brooksville

Is the shirt included in the registration fee? If not, something is screwy with selecting the shirt as an add-on. :headscratch:
Shirt is not included. I can't say it's not screwy, but at least one person in each session has successfully added a shirt to their reg/payment.

But, I've got you down ...

Classing...?

So, it's about time I return for another event to get my a$$ handed to me again. :notworthy: However, since it's been so long I need some clarification:
I picked up a '99 Miata with a supercharger and strut tower brace. Everything else is stock.

Clearly, I'll run in a modified class so I signed up ...

Re: S2 Here we come

Nice ride, Jim!

I've ridden in Dave B.'s at Sebring and I was amazed at some of his entry speeds in the corners. Due to sheer hp differentials, GT3s were passing him all over the place (as expected), but oftentimes, Dave had to lift mid-corner even after being passed. :notworthy:

This is all ...

Re: April 14 - Brooksville - Another Split Event

Have fun all! Although Charles was nice enough to let me co-drive, I won't be able to make the event. Too bad I wasn't able to cancel before registration ended...memorial service for a guy who had my same health issues. Sobering reminder.

Until next time...

Re: March 10th SPC-Split Event Format

My first event back with FAST since my major surgery/recovery. Good times and good to see some old faces. I liked the split format and seemed to work quite well.

Also, I know this topic has been discussed in the past, but blue numbers on blue cars does not work. There were a handful of those out ...

Glad you got to shake out the Subie...

Yes, we were able to get back on track for the afternoon sessions after the car cooled down a bit. We still don't know what happened to it in the morning, but may have been a heat-related issue since is was fine later without any wrenching. Basically, ran ...

Between now and the 22nd, I'll probably have to remove a couple of gallons of water out of my car. :whine:
Shop-vac for the carpet, then pull it up, vacuum out the remaining water, and leave a couple of work lamps on overnight to help dry things out. BTDT....
