It was a fun course with some technical and challenging elements That I never did nail. The pavement transition was not as dramatic as I was expecting. Great event guy's n' gal's!

Thanks all for a fun event! I liked the course layout and thought things flowed very well...except for the Mini vs Miata near miss :shock:

However, it was my best PAX and Raw performance of my inauspicious career, so that's nice

Bummer that attendance was down, but what can you do?

Did anyone else have a blast skipping across the pavement right at the start on that wide left hander?

Hey Marcus, did you see those 5 sweet peel outs I did in my 2?

JamesShort · **Posted:** Sun May 06, 2012 9:05 pm

I have to say I was very impressed with Marcus' last run...he lit those tires UP! I might have to stop giving him crap about launching

It kept bogging. I made sure it wasn't going to bog that run. Stupid car.

Great event. Muchos gracia El Auto-x VP's and event chairs.

The hump in the middle of the first left hand sweeper was entertaining.

Much respect to the GS Civic running with the 30 tag on it. :thumbsup:

You should always break in em in like you intend to use them.

Had a great time today. I'm finally learning how to Autocross the Vette, so of course I'm going back to the Miata

Course was fun, thought the back half was going to be one big dragway but that little kink was in just the right place. I liked the left hander at the start especially my first run :twisted:

It is fun to hit the right pedal in that car and feel it take off. It is even fun to see in the video how hard that car accellerates.

Thanks to all who helped out.

Fun course! I think I sold Ram on the superiority of the live rear axle configuration.

Ram -- stop by Crossroads Ford and check out the Gotta-Have-It-Green Boss 302. http://crossroads-ford-cary.ebizautos.c ... id=8684928 That car is you!

Note to worker coordinators, do not give Ram the task of being announcer anymore. K thanx.

:sing:

I asked the crowd near the bus if they never wanted Ram to announce again. No one raised their hands.

He could spice it up a bit. :sleep2:

An excellent event, 5 timed runs and fun runs and over cast. MUCH better than the wet up at NCCAR.

Just a safety reminder here. We had some near misses up that the top of the runway due to some of the cars spinning. We as a club need to VERY mindful of setting up a safe and fun course. This also makes the starters position incredibly important in being able when to judge sending cars. If there is a novice that's slow or looks lost, hold the next car. We set Art up for failure twice.

Other than that, kudos to everyone for another great event. Now if I can just keep the a$$ end of the mustang underneath me.

Speaking of that, I saw in the results page that I only have 4 times listed. I know I have a 5th run that was a 52.xxx. It's not listed. I had a cone w/ it, so it won't change my results. From what I understand, we had some issues w/ the new laptop and AXWare being at bee-atch to work with. Is this something we can get addressed before the next event? If we need to drop back a version, do it if that means being stable....

We're working on it. And by we, I mean Zack and Carlton

. The computer did some REALLY strange things for sure, we'll figure it out. Your runs are in the computer Rodney, just not showing up on the results for some weird reason. We caught a lot of these things in audit (and by we, I mean my wife and Robert), I think we only fixed the ones that mattered since there were a lot of them.

I don't believe we can necessarily go backwards in terms of undoing the changes we did to the computers/AX Ware (we need the new classes/update PAX indices), but we will get it fixed. Sometimes these bugs are the cost of progress, lets give THSCCIT a chance to work it out. They seem to be making changes for the better.
