No Off's but atleast a 540 from a high third gear spin :)

I enjoyed the course design and being able to let the car breathe a little.

He had a good time, in which he obviously must have cheated, *cough* nitrous *cough*. Obviously his last run should be stricken from the results. ;-)

Oh yeah, and no offs or spins for me, no wonder I lost, next time the ladies underwear is definetly coming off. :D

I had one (or as Mike said 2.5) when Graham and I decided to check out the railroad tracks.


Yeah I think that one should definetely count as more than a 1.0. I'd give you a 9.5 on recovery :wink: It was funny once I realized we were not going to jump the train tracks. :shock:

No offs, no spins, no nitrous (although I think I did pass gas on that last run :wink: ), 1 DNF, 1 can-o-a$$-whippin, that's about it :lol:

Must have been the lunch at Subway Les. That's your fault...

Sincerely, Mr. RWD Hack

Obviously I wasn't there, but was this an autocross or an off contest? If the latter, obviously Eric Peterson didn't get the memo. If the former, how was a CS car fastest raw (and PAX) at an autocross known as the "Testosterone Tester"??? I know he didn't have the most testosterone there (I'm not sure he has the most testosterone in his own house!). *cough*

No offs, no spins, no cones...just an incredibly fun course --- perfect match for 4000lb with 400hp. :wink: :D With some decent tires, 49's would have been in the bag.

Great course...a bit slick in the morning.

No offs, 1 DNF (Brain fart - miss cones b4 the turnaround) :banghead: , 1 cone (lousy last one at the finish - no I wasn't the one who took out the finish timer).

Best off of the day was definitely the Integra into the water.

Because I didn't bring race tires?

Seriously, kudos to Eric for putting on a clinic. I wish I could have ridden along on one of those 48.x runs. I bet it was exciting :)

A likely excuse. :wink: In the morning the grip was horrible and I don't think r-comps would have helped much. In the afternoon when the temps went up and the course got faster. I think you and Kevin could have picked up some time with them. End result might have been settled in the 100ths.

Very impressive Eric. I would have loved to have ridden with you too.
