Gwen isn't allowed input into our course designs, she doesn't show up to enough of our events ;).

Don't worry, Brice, I made the "no input" decision two years ago. But that's another story!

And yeah, I hate that I've missed most THSCC events this year but the dates just haven't worked out well.

This is going to be the most polarizing event yet: 360 degree pivot cone.

Something tells me Kevin Allen is on my side.


My reaction was "YOU BETTER BE SERIOUS!!!" and then I kept reading. :roll:

The cool thing about setup days is you can do whatever you want with the course without any whiny bitches bitching about it, then once you've played sufficiently, you can change it to a configuration that will minimize the bitching. I've driven a lot of fun courses that nobody else got to drive.

And there WILL be a "360 pivot" at a future event. It won't necessarily look like one, but it will drive like one, if you do it right. Those of us who have practiced the skills needed to pull it off will love it and be fast, while the rest of you will suck at it and hate it. :P

hey hey..... Chris and I put a lot of effort into that event. I thought the onion was cool, but in hind sight, that was a VERY busy course. Lesson learned....

Yeah, the first run through the onion was fun but subsequent runs were painful. It really messed up the flow. I vaguely remember you saying you would never do that again. The rest of the course was fun!
