There are a couple of cars in R1 that should be moved to R2 and R3...let the Cobras duke it out on top, and combine R2-4.
Thanks Jamie!

I'm just glad there's a "no passing" rule. :)

Been looking through the thread to see if there's a course map up yet. Assuming I missed it, can someone point me in the right direction?

I'll include the course map in the mass email that I'll be sending out within the next couple days. Will post all that info on the forum at the same time.

It might be out there somewhere already, I don't have time to look right now.

Most of our event prep is handled. There's one thing that just came to mind that would be good to have someone do:

We need some marble dust to mark the course. Could somebody pick up a couple bags for us?

It's the same as the 2008 Battle-X right? I separated the map from the previous Event's Info File.

Well I've added some weight to my car, so now there's no way I can win without cheating.

I'll be driving on my "dynamic toe" mod. This will be the secret to my success and your demise!

... oh and... if anyone wants to help me replace my inner tie rods, let me know! LOL!

You should be thanking Doug for driving his slow Mustang instead of his blindingly fast RX-8! (he'll probably still mop the floor with you)

You're bad at this, Gerry. This game is 40% driver and 80% intimidation!* You should be mocking Doug for his wide car with inferior suspension and no grip. There's no way he can keep up with your Miata on this tight course! And with your fancy gumball tires and cheater variable front toe, fuggetaboudit!

This lesson in trash-talking has been a public service announcement.

* Yes, that's 120%... the Duel will be 20% more awesome than the typical FAST event.

Just emailed this out to everybody. But, just in case, I'll post it here, too.

Get your FAST Duel driver info here:
http://drivefast.org/event-info/fast-duel/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And if you can't be bothered to read any of that, just be sure you're ready for the driver's meeting at 9am Saturday morning!
