I don't know why Ben isn't sharing this here. I'm going to share it for him. What?

This.

47.5 but for a cone. And I'm not even sure where the cone is. He musta nicked a slalom cone or something.

Wow, great time Mario! I finished in the bruised ego section at the bottom. Not sure if I was just rusty after missing two months, or just s*cked! Either way, will look forward to driving better next month!

Damn, I see a couple of places I could have picked up time.

I need to start thinking more width-wise. I was slowing down way too much for that offset after the two gates on the way out... should have tracked out wider and made the whole thing straighter.

I was really happy with my results in the morning, then not so much when I saw the overall results.

I can't blame the car.
See ya on the 29th.

You can blame the track for being a little faster in the afternoon, seems like most times are better in the afternoon at most events. That's the excuse I use. :cool:

One tire pressure gauge in a fancy zipper bag, left on a table.
I think the person who brought this to the table said this belonged to Don Cross.

One tire pressure gauge in a fancy zipper bag, left on a table.
It was left on the ground next to us, in the spot where Don Cross had parked. I assume it was his.

Still haven't found my car key that I lost two events ago... :dunno: Oh well.

I'd have to say that cone is not "down", so as long as it's not "out", it should be good!

I've been thinking about it. In the last two years I've only run on concrete twice, and those two events were by far my worst. I clearly need to push it harder at concrete events.

Brookesville has tremendous grip. Go fast.
