I just updated the Season Championship Points

Went ahead and marked potential drops (each driver's lowest 3 scores are dropped). If you've missed 3 events, it's a no-brainer, zero points dropped. This could potentially affect final results in a few classes. I marked the ones I noticed in red. These last two events of the season could be pretty interesting for some of us!

What???????? 2 events left and I've already wrapped up 3rd. Who's getting another t-shirt, this guy! Seriously though it's been a fun season. I'm not going to be able to make any events until september, so I'll see everyone then.

Looks like a tight race for 3rd in M2 between Greg and John. I'll be keeping my eyes open for future results.

Really wish I knew how I ended up with a DNF on my last run. Especially considering it was my best run of the day.

Well I'm again a little late to this party, but I'm glad everyone had a good time, enjoyed the course, lunch and the whole shebang in general. I know I did. :D

I eked out an average show for myself with my driving, repeatedly making the same errors. At least I'm consistent.

I thought the BBQ was absolutely fantastic - I guess sometimes you can trust what you read on the internet. I don't live too far from them, so I'm gonna have to check them out in person at some point.

Thanks very much to everyone who took part and helped us run another cool event - Loren, Dave, Jim, Ron, Rick, Brian, Drew, Matt, Ryan, Ed, Mark and anyone else I might've accidently omitted. We can't do it without y'all and your excellent teamwork! :salute:

As always had a great time, finding the right line was challenging :bangwall:

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!

Finding the line was definitely a challenge, but it's always fun to try different things on different runs.

Here was my best, which was my last run.

I think I left a few tenths on the table, but i was more opposite of 'tight is right' on this run. AWD seemed to like wider lines through many of the 'longer' turns.

Steve's first name is Jesus.

"Jesus Steve" that was a fantastic meal and your 2nd course called: "The Main Course" was equally awesome.

Steve's first name is "Jesus" from here on. Loren can be referred to as "Peter" but that's what Jeremy always calls him (aka The Dick).

Go Jesus for Christ's sake :-D May your Loren always please us.

Imagine in our tiny minds some horsemeat tainted worldly sandwiches at the TBD.....WoooHoooo!!!!!!!!! :notworthy:

Well I had a good time even though I continue to float in the back half of M1. :binky: +

Here is my second fastest run and only record run due to obvious reasons. :bangwall: Thanks for the hustle of the course worker to make sure it only wound up being a damaged mount. I couldn't make out who it was that grabbed it, but they were nice enough to point it towards the course afterwards to keep recording, I just trimmed it down.
