Oh you're too kind.

The drive home suuuuuucked.

Thanks all for putting on another good event.

I agree about the drive, but more due to the weather. Being at wear bars on the highway on RE-71's is very scary. I had to drop my speed to around 60 because I felt the car just gliding over the water. Kinda spooky .

Apparently the modern AWD is inferior to the ones in '90's cars with mechanical LSD's and magic oil in the transfer case? R DOT tires only had two rain grooves driven to and from local events. They did take longer to stop tho' even with ABS.

I blame the -3.9 camber up front. That's pretty much like having 1 and a half rain grooves.

Gotcha. Never known anyone who didn't change camber and toe for the highway or just trailer the car to and from events to save the tires. A first for everything.

Time for dedicated daily tires!

no problem with having newbies in the passenger seat,

except my driving shows them what they should not be doing!

Great photos, thanks.

I think the newbie that Dan stuck in my car in my first ever run on the non-grip Dunnellon surface got more than she was promised.

She said at the beginning that she didn't want to spin, which I replied that hopefully we wouldn't.

Sure enough, first run on the way to the cross over the rear gave out, and as we were mid spin I looked at her and said "I lied."

So which freaked her out more - the spin, or the fact that you were looking at her and talking in mid-spin?

still trying to perfect my looking ahead.

so during the turn around, I look out the side windows.

When performing an envelope pushing spin, should I be looking out the rear window?

Philip got the Season Points updated!

Just three events left, and lots of tight competition.
