Oh, I can say that Ron is the man, and Results are on the website!

Great event, y'all!
What the hell? I thought my last run was a 33.2, not a 32.2! I must have misread the board after crossing the line. I was so disappointed and sunburned I didn't bother to go over and read the timing screen, haha.

So I guess the car closer to being sorted out. Still a little oversteery but it felt really good on those last 2 runs. I guess all it needs is for me to be consistent and fearless. :)

Great club, great event. I was concerned when I moved to Fl a year ago about finding a good AX club. Have to say this is the best club I have ever run with.

Thanks for all your hard work.

I would suggest a pair of corrective lens or Rx windshield? :pointlaugh:

To the 3 guys I know at day's end who had killer headaches, the following suggestion:

Wear a hat in the future. I think you all got too much sun and overheated your bean. Hair can only do so much for you like being a successful Gigalo. In St Pete that can also be a bad thing but won't lead to a headache!!

I think I'm going to put together a Kickstarter to fund some new wheels and tires... Backers that contribute $25 or more will receive a t-shirt that says "I Helped Jason Beat Loren!"

:-)

I'm moving to S2 next season. If you don't beat me in your M2 car... it won't be because of tires. :)

Once we get Ben's car set up, I expect to be about 1 second off of top M2 times, assuming M2 stays on par. If you guys slack off... we'll take your lunch money.

I would like to thank Drew for sucking slightly more than I did. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

Congrats to all of the M2 guys stepping up their game and filling up many of those top 10 overall slots!

I think Jason should co-drive the motorhome with John next season.

A great event put on by the FAST folks. My first exposure to a Florida autox was positive. The weather was positively hot. I need to bathe in sunblock next time. I will be back for more. I can only make some of the Sunday events. I'll meet more if you once my shyness goes away.
I'll follow suit and share my best run.....

Another great event guys! Thanks to go to Scott for not showing up so that I could manage the FTD, but only *barely*. Glad to hear Loren has plans to move to a slower car next season. :D This makes three consecutive events without a car breakage, its been a couple years since I've been able to say that, not only to you guys put on a great event, apparently your good luck as well. I would post my video of the FTD run, but its embarrassingly bad, I will not be winning any cinematography Oscars any time soon, of course I'm trying to do this video with my old smart phone and a $20 suction mount from Amazon, just can't find a spot to mount it that gives anything decent. I guess I should just get one of those GoPros or something. Looking forward to next season!

Nice job Les! Way to represent the Corvette boys, since mine likes to just represent in the driveway.

Got all my runs together. I stopped after 4 since I knew I got everything I could out of her. Run 3 is the run to watch (helmet cam).

Bet no one else had to work their steering wheel like this!

Great time! Great season...the part that I was there, that is.

Slightly disappointed with the nut behind the wheel of the BMW...STI and that car was opposite ends of the spectrum and I needed a couple of events to adapt to a big, slippery, sedan with a rubber band/power band motor!

Looking forward to next year...might be able to attend a few more events and provide a bit more competition!

Boy was it hot...

Great event yesterday! I really like the morning/afternoon format, it's much easier for me to sell a hobby that only takes up half of Sunday!

Enjoying the competition in S1 after my third event. This time I learned not to tell Jim Swayne he's in second BEFORE his last run! :-)

Thanks for the great event, see you next time.

Tyrell, were you at Sebring w/ NASA on 4/27 & 4/28? That s2k looks familiar...Congrat's on breaking the 32's.

Thanks to everyone for another well run event.

Thanks :thumbwink:

Tyrell, you get to show us at the next event whether this was just a fluke or not! One thing is certain, I wouldn't change ANYTHING about your car setup right now. It's obviously working for you!
