Some great footage there Jeremy. Looked like a really fun course...and here I thought the event wasn't until this coming weekend. Wow, time is already rocketing by. :shock:

Nice run. Wasn't paying attention to see where you hit the cone, but it looks like the only significant mistake you made was right before the finish on that last turn. Same place I screwed up almost every run. Misjudge that turn and you end up losing all of your momentum to get through the finish!

I liked how you took the turn before the slalom. I never got that one right. If I'd have just trusted the car and flowed through it as you did, I'd have probably been in the mid 34's. (best was 35.2)

Solution: Find someone who's willing to take your work assignment so that you can go take pictures.

(you make it sound like you think that not letting you take pictures while you're working course is a BAD idea)

Oops on the chairs completely slipped my mind.. Thanks for the notice though and I'll get those out of there at brooksville. But the course was awesome and I had alot alot of fun out there besides picking up the middle slalom cone 10+ times.

Good catch. The A048 is actually the factory equipment tire for that vehicle, so he probably didn't give it a second thought.

The question is... what do we do? He finished 3rd in class, so I guess we should move him to the appropriate race tire class. I'm going to assume that SCCA doesn't allow those tires in stock classes, and that's what our class structure is based on.

Yeah, I dunno. Race Tire class I would assume. I bow down to your godly knowledge of such things! Yellow_Colorz_PDT_12

You underestimate my forgettitude. But, check the website. I think we have two race tire classes. Over and under 3 liters?
