Wouldn't it be cool if I posted the course map early?

You have to, since you posted the previous one so late.

That looks like a good time

Knew the first half looked familiar. Almost the same as the one from Feb 11th events but with a couple tweaks.

Btw like the map layout being one long vertical image rather than it being split up into 3.

Yeah, it's another "retread" of a good course. Changed a few things.

The jpg version of the course map that I do is just for viewing online. I always have to crop and resize the original to do the jpg. This time I thought... well, since it's intended for online viewing, why don't I format it for that? The PDF is formatted for printing on a single page.

The return side looks like it's gonna be a fun one.

Speaking of POINTS, we finally got them updated from June 30th.

There are some trophy positions that are locked in, and many that are not. This event could make a difference for a lot of people!

Quick look shows:
M1 - 2nd, 3rd & 4th could shuffle. If Hackett doesn't place well, 1st is even up for grabs.
M2 - 2nd & 3rd could shuffle, and Sullivan only has a 6 point leat for 1st.
M3 - Only one point separates Tyler Williams in 1st from Joe Vance 2nd. And somebody could steal 3rd from Clauser if he doesn't place well.
M4 - I'm tied with Soraya for 1st.

S2 - There's a battle for 2nd, and potentially even for 3rd.
S4 - 1st and 2nd can rest easy, but Wheaton needs to watch his back for 3rd.

Looks like most of the other classes and positions are set unless something weird happens.

Since Dave all ready sold his S5 car would be weird if 3 two driver cars entered and #2 would show up and win with 12pts -4pt drop and win 1st by one pt.

But that's not very likely?

Proves that people have to beat the bushes and keep the numbers up in their class to get decent points for every event. Even if they have to bring a co-driver sometimes.

Or if you're in the lead, you just pay people to stay away.

Except #2 is my co-driver so he doesn't have an S5 car to compete in either. Looks likeS5 is a wrap. I'm in S1 on the 28th and Phillip is in M1.

Mark, I'll give you 7 bucks to not show up. Thanks

Let's see... Phillip needs 8 points to win. That's 4 competitors in class. There's already one registered. So, if he borrows or rents an S5 car and brings in two co-drivers... and finishes first...

I don't think I'm gonna be able to catch back up to Matt in M2, gonna concentrate on fighting back Nate to maintain 2nd. Gonna be a tense event regardless.

We'll see what all the random shows will do to muck things up as well.

It's not random. It's a diabolical plan to make you drive better and think season end while doing it. Think T-shirt and same Car number. Focus.

He convinced his competition in S5 he is "The Dave". Therefore: He is "The Dave". Go Dave. S1? I have a couple of those cars but not the right tires at the moment. You know "The Dave" with the RS Ford is in that class right? New recall head gasket and cam. Scary fast now. Year's PAX champion in SCCA. Damn.

I think RS Dave traded in his Focus. Fancy Camaro of some sort, as I recall.

Pretty funny the number of yall who are running in the AM to try and pull one out for a win on the last day of points. Some real Brass Nads running in the PM to make your life a reality. Wonder who will mess with what Class with a 'sleeper' in "M" or "S" classes in the PM?

Who is online
