I actually drove by on Sunday, and there wasn't an event on Mother's Day.

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
Well after a quick, amicable phone call, we've been reminded that we'll be charged a fee if they have to keep fixing the course when we're done with it. I did bring up the confusion regarding their multiple markings and supposedly they are to look into it and get back to me.

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
OK, so what's the fee to not have to reset the course?

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
How about telling them to quit changing it so often? Every few months they move something around ever so slightly. They should be happy we can get it 90-95% correct. I did notice last weekend, setting up the course, that the dots were getting much harder to see.Native wrote:Well after a quick, amicable phone call, we've been reminded that we'll be charged a fee if they have to keep fixing the course when we're done with it.

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
Wow, just came across my time with this course back in Nov of '09. I was three tenths quicker...back then. If you ever think of cheaping out on tires...here's what it gets you (35.6 - S1). Not that I haven't been having a blast or anything.shakedown067 wrote:Fantastic event. Royally had my butt handed to me today, but couldn't have had more fun!
Here's one of my vids (35.9 - M1)

Racing against my NEON is like getting in a fight with a girl, if you win you, you can't brag about it, and if you lose, you hope nobody finds out!

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
I helped with resetting the police course and they had newer darker orange spots in some places 6-8" off the old faded spots. Plus in the south east corner where it's all tall cones it was clear they had made the enterance a double cone gate by the dirt collected there but it wasn't marked by dots. It was definitely different than the previous spc event as i helped to set up the course then too. They do need to give us a revamped course layout as they have changed it.

Re: May 12 SPC Post-Event
Thanks, Matt.
Oh, and 36.934 in 2009 for 14th overall, 35.702 for 16th overall this time around. In between I've upgraded the suspension.
It would seem the competition has gotten a bit stiffer, as well (get it?? lol). FTD's were about the same, but, for example, I was 1.2 seconds faster, but finished 2 places lower.
