Heintzman-- Let us know about the car. Hopefully it's not as bad as you thought.

Championship Points are updated.

By the way, as you peruse the results from this event, remember that classes S2-S5 and Ron Rice in R3 all ran in very wet conditions.

It's great working timing when Ron is running. He gave me $5 to take a cone off his last run.

As always FAST put on a great event and I had a awesome time.

My best run

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!

:pointlaugh: (Don't forget the Pizza Hut gift card I slipped you as well. :grin: )

Had a good day, even if it was a "little" damp for my run group. Was kind of fun. Reminded me of parking lots in January back up north. Thanks to everyone that put in the effort to make this another great FAST event. You all have a good time in July as I'll be up north and I'll see everyone next season.
Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

Also, great job on the course design, guys! It was challenging and certainly rewarded fundamental autocross know-how which I lack: Look ahead....far ahead! :bangwall:

Was this a Brian course?

Yeah, Brian Kollar designed it.

It was definitely a look-ahead course. Also a "don't go as fast as you absolutely can HERE or you'll be screwed THERE" course... at least for me.

You don't have (and can't get) 4 events in class, so I didn't bother adding you to the list.

Gotta have 4 events to get a trophy. So, it's not that I don't like you... it's just that you're not relevant!

Attend more events and quit class-jumping!
