OctoberFEST FAST 14th is History

[Loren]

We're moving Nils again? We already moved him from M3 to M2...

Well, somebody "guessed" what class to put him in instead of looking it up. According to the rules, he goes up one class or to the engine donor car's class, whichever is higher. That would be M1.

I had lots of fun yesterday. I was also fastest of those that did not bring their car on a trailer. I'll take it. 8)

Scott & Mary only brought their tires on a trailer. But, you drove farther... and your car has air conditioning.

We even had a roof (for the commute only) this time! We both really enjoyed the course, plenty areas that I left time though.

Those short meat sandwiches were great.... As was the chicken etc., etc.

Anyone with their DNA on file with the police anywhere might want to come up with a really good alibi for Sunday afternoon.

Since Gerry and I had to use our "race cars" for garbage trucks we put the leaky cans "in the can" as we drove by the County Jail on Spring Hill Dr.

Apparently the Sheriff didn't see the humour on that one that got sort of stuck on the razor wire on the top of the fence? According to the news they are looking for saliva on the cans and bottles.

Well life just sucks doesn't it

...and weighs 1000 lbs more, and blah, blah, blah. Oh well, at least my car didn't go home on a flatbed this time!

Scott's run (just noticed passengers hand...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHdCOPTEtcM

I think my best run was with Greg in the car, but my Go-Pro decided to be tempermental. On the way home we hit a nice sized pot hole and snapped a fender stay. Thank goodness for duct tape and zip ties! Just a quick weld and all will be ok.

PS. Jamie, Mary got a good video of Sam running, I'll download it soon.

I borrowed a camera to show that just because you design dual direction courses doesn't mean you can master them.

Welcome to my weekend. See if you can tell which runs were Ron's and which were mine. Tough call.

Heavens be praised an October, 2013 Chair, in advance a whole year!!

Go Gerry. I might even consider being your Ottoman. I'll bring the wife's Crown Vic.

[Loren]

Results have been updated, and season points posted. Check 'em out.

I wonder how much I'd have to bribe Charles to turn down the boost on his car when Jeremy is driving?

Great event ! Doug did a great job with the event and lunch, it was awesome ! I vote Doug to be the official FAST lunch chairman

It was a trickier course than I thought, couple places made me check up a bit more than I thought I'd have too on my first couple runs. I know a lot of people say horsepower isn't what matters, but if I had some more power under the hood, I know I could have made up at least a second or two on that course. Loved the way my car handled, now I just need some springs and power and I might be able to compete with those guys in M3 ! A few more good pay checks an I'll be there, so watch out boys !

Looking at a better muffler for the genny, Loren an I talked about it, I'm thinking to possibly have a muffler shop fab up a system. I have a idea that would work, but if it's not cheap enough, its probably not worth doing.

Championship points in M2 are not correct. Charles finished 2nd, but no points were awarded. I finished 3rd and got 6 points. .

I believe Charles should get 6 points.

[Loren]

I just skipped Charles, that's all. It's just Charles.

I'll fix it.

I think Howard is missing from R1, he took 1st.

I must have been asleep when I did the points. I'll look at it tonight.
