Kyle, you can ask for someone to sponsor you if you don't have enough events to do a Classic. Usually not hard to find someone.

If I can't manage to get the required number of events completed in time I definitely will try that out! Thank you!

Another fun day. Maxine and I had a blast. Coned 3/4. I'm sour about the last one. Ran a 45.5 with Jason as my guest rider. That was a good run (sans cone of course). Thank you to our committee for all the hard work put into these events and for continuing to put together a safe, extremely enjoyable experience.

I am so pleased that Randy thumped David in S1 There is hope for the C5 when I come back I'll be back

I was the first to congratulate him. Well done and deserved, glad he got over the hump. Just didn't have the pace yesterday.

Fun course, it really made me wish for another 40HP. Dave hit the nail on the head when he said this layout had a "road racing" feel. S4 was a battle again. I thought I had Jason and I had a co-pilot lined up to ride with me on my last run. I jokingly mentioned to him if Jason get beats me by a tenth on his last run I'll need my last run to be solo. Of course Jason does exactly that Sorry, I owe you a ride.

My 4th run was good enough to get back in front and take a win, after the last event I figured I might never see 1st place sticker again

I am sure you mean that you nearly reached 69 mph. Our insurance requires maximum speed to not exceed 70 mph, so we would never design a course that would exceed this speed limit. I know it seemed fast, but since you weren't looking at your speedo, I can assure you that you only reached 67 mph or so.

You're totally right. 67ish sounds spot on.

Good times!
Mustang events without incident = 5! This is great, it allows me to focus on driving.
S3 had a very close battle for second, its time to "push harder and suck less".
Thanks all for a fun event.

Ditto on that was said above-great course, great organization, and great fun.

Philip-many thanks for the images. I even made the cover of the album! I'm famous!

I left much time on the outbound leg...foot-stomped about looking ahead in the Novice walk...I could of done better myself! I'm rusty!

Sweet driving Drew...we will get you next time!

Flashback to electronics tech school. Really old instructor. Told us on day one "I'm not going to teach you the test, but I might do something like stomp my foot if something is really important and you might want to remember it." And then throughout the course, he'd hit on a topic and say "that's a foot-stomper right there!"

Funny how you remember certain teachers. That was over 30 years ago, and I only saw him for maybe 3 months and never again. But, he stuck with me.

Great day, great course, great people. Perfect way to enjoy a Saturday.

Loved the course; wished we get more where most everyone is pushed into 3rd gear, not just the torque-challenged. That said, my lack of experience with such skills patently showed, given my co-drivers blazing time driving Chispa. I dirtied a 44.6xx 4th run but each one showed improvement over the previous one so I was happy. Still... need to practice down/upshifts so I can drive mo' better. I have hatched a plan and Philip is my co-conspirator

Practice rev-matched downshifts to 4th, 3rd and 2nd as you come to stop lights. (1st is harder to do, and generally not necessary, but you can practice that sometimes, too)

You're going to learn how to drive like Philip? Not sure that's wise...the Fit's not floppy enough. Or are you coming to party with us in S4 for awhile?

[bluesight]

Well, Bluesight got to 65...so it is certain no one topped that!

im glad I practice my heel-toe rev match, finally came in handy. hope to see that course again.

on my last run I couldn't get the car placement correctly on the way back and ran thru a cone wall. at the moment I thought it's just a rubber cone, but in hindsight I was accelerating in 3rd. oh well, the car needed body work anyhow.

Video of my runs 3 and 4, 41.495 and 41.681. I was late on the throttle in several places and to slow in the turn around in addition to hitting cones.

Thanks for another fun event. I can't imagine someone trying this and not liking it.

Had a great time, my first double session. Struggled a bit (sucked much) on those three chutes after the turnaround and got stubborn with them. Going out was a blast though; my wagon felt semi-fast

See you at endurocross.

If you're going to put the camera on your head, hold still, dammit! (And don't try to tell us you're holding your head still, and the car is moving around it....)
