Glad y'all liked the course snd everyone had a good time.
I, like Dan, at least got to enjoy the vids and pics - nice jobs all! But one problem...not one, not even the Fastiva, was on three wheels. Where's all the cool kids? Lol!
See ya in two weeks.

Re: 12/05/2015 Brooksville Post-event
Somebody told me that the FASTiva was 3-wheeling all the way through the short straight after the first lane change.
What I want to see is a video of Soraya's pirouette. She said she nailed the brakes coming into the Chicago box and did something like a 520 without hitting anything. I always said that car would bite hard when it lets go! Ben did a snap-spin 180 going into the turn-around. I'm jealous. (but, I'm also faster... so, I'm not TOO jealous

Thanks Doug, those were two very challenging features of this course (at least to me), and it felt good to get them largely right after several attempts. And, thanks Mark for the comments. Honestly on the last run I went much slower through the lane change section, since I had slaughtered double-digit cones on my first five runs. I wanted to make sure I got one clean run in. Thank goodness we got 6 runs this month!

Re: 12/05/2015 Brooksville Post-event
Oh, *She* was 3-wheeling all right. Get out your magnifying glass. While not doing it as dramatically as before all the tweaks since her debut, she's still leg lifting on cones... Not just on the way up, but on the way back as well. My god... look at those skinny little arms dealing with power-steeringlessness... ROFL! Loren had more than a few chuckles on my first 2 runs, and some good advice that finally paid off on my "fun run."Native wrote:But one problem...not one, not even the Fastiva, was on three wheels.

I do wish I had brought my videocamera to record the twirly - note to self, don't try trail breaking in the FASTIVA, and especially do not try trail breaking + harsh steering inputs! ***Lesson learned**** The car was all packed up for Sat with all the usual AX needs. That got switched over to getting there at 630am in the truck after a night out and about 4 hrs sleep (v. showing up at noon for the PM session, properly rested) - had the wherewithall to throw in the helmet and shoes, but not much else, ergo no video.
Someone, pleeeze tell me you have some sort of recording of that epic spin...

Oh trust me, watching from section 3 I joked with the guy I was working with that the fastiva was on 3 wheels more than it was on all 4!

I see I perused the pics a bit too hastily. My faith is restored - FAST is where the cool kids are!
