Loved the course, fun event, sorry I was so tired in the morning for those waiting in the registration line :) I wasn't thinking too well at that point in the morning.

I just got PM from John Evans. He fessed up that his fast time of 30.xxx wasn't his, and that Ed C. beat him. The swap of 4th and 5th place will be reflected in the updated points table.

If anyone else notices any corrections that need to be made, that affect points, let me or Brian K. know...
That's right. As much as I'd like to claim that 30-something as my own, I spun on my fourth run. The time was a 44-something. Remember? I was pumped because I had dropped a full eight seconds from my previous spinout run.

Thanks for sorting this out, Steve.
Thanks John, coffee is on me at the next event! WOO HOO 4TH! Is there a 4th sticka?

Even with race tires Drew still beats me. I'm going to have to blame this on the tire pressure

Mental note: "Must drive faster to stay ahead of the street tire king", I think a 27.9x was definitely in the cards but couldn't get 1 perfect run.

I like coffee, but I'll take some of Jeremy's go-fast juice if you can arrange that.

You would think if paid $50 for a tire guage you could run it over all day long!
I have a tire pressure guage. I paid a whopping 3 bucks for it because it fits in my ashtray. I use it sometimes, because I care. No, wait, that doesn't sound right. I couldn't care less. Yes, that's more like it. I think I'll go run it over for fun. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_08

About the supplies in the picture, the diet coke box on top is half diet, half real Coke. And yes that is all that's left.

I was only trying to beat Steve while I still can. He will get his whuppin's in on me next season when he goes modified.

Funny stuff, Drew, all around.
I'm with you on the tire pressure thing. I do set it the night before, but that's it, except every once in a while in the middle of summer when it just doesn't feel quite right, and oh, look, 53 psi... :lol:

And Chris, race tires or not, Drew is hard to beat.

Thanks. There were quite a few folks within just 1000ths of me...good shows, all! Of course, Drew beat me by the usual 2 or 3 tenths - it oughta be interesting when I move to E2... :)
OOh, ooh...I wanna play in E2! That should be fun. Yellow_Colorz_PDT_06 I ran in H class just becaused I missed battling it out. I think the wagon may have to retire from autox. Now I won't have to take off those darn springs in the Miata.

With all these new scalpels coming to carve it up in E2, I might have to sharpen up my sledgehammer.

Aaron's run his Miata in E2 several times. Guess you didn't notice. Maybe his scalpel's, well... Yellow_Colorz_PDT_02

Having the same tires as Jeremy, I am slowly starting to realize that they seem pretty sensitive to pressure. That or I am really driving badly.
