Fun course for sure. I appreciate everyone that let Judi and I drive your cars this weekend. That was a blast and very effective in helping me pick a car for next year.

If you asked me on Saturday it would have been an S2000. Thanks to Mr. Quistorff though, I think I'm going to have to look heavily into the triangle.

That course was a blast and huge thanks to everyone that did the 'clearing' on Saturday. It's pretty awesome when we can get 8 runs in a day and beautiful weather! I can't believe the season is already over. :(

I had so much fun this weekend! Great job on the course Kevin!! It was a blast. And thanks to Jason, Keith, Art, and Les for letting me drive their cars! It was a hoot trying to figure out how to autocross a RWD car. Next year will be another adventure for sure!

That was a fun event indeed. Kevin set up a fun course for sure, too bad the timer cable wouldn't reach all the way to the finish, that last untimed part was a hoot. Thanks to Bernie for letting me drive the vette again after my Miata tires corded, apparently Feinberg is a much better instructor than me as well as driver, at least I managed to beat Bernie by a couple tenths. Thanks to Jason Watts and Jordan Normark for letting me drive your Miatae as well for a couple fun runs. If you've noticed Jordan's Miata seems to accelerate faster than most when he gets on it, that's because that thing is a BEAST. That engine he has built is really strong and has a great powerband, pulls all the way to 8000 rpm, has me thinking evil thoughts, I'd love to have that engine in my daily driver Miata. He estimates 160-65 whp but I would have guessed more than that honestly.

Yeah, the last part was fun. Flat out all the way from the hard right after the lane change in the rallyx car resulted in spinning through the finish every time. That hard right would've gotten pretty interesting if the timer was at the checkered cones. If you lined it up just right and tossed it you could fly through there, but you'd risk taking out both of those two cones.

I also liked the part where you'd slide out onto the good pavement before the lane change. Scandinavian flicked it and tracked out into the weeds.

And the handbrake turn.

And the left/right drifts coming back past the start line.

And the entry to the V-shaped slalom.

And going flat out through the chicago box on the right when doing it counterclockwise.

Yeah, there was some fun stuff there. :lol:

It was a fun course, surprisingly as I didn't think I would on Saturday. Those AS street tires are terrible and I had to learn about slow in not so slow out again. The section after the finish was fun as heck. I was sliding through the whole thing.

Ahhhh now must wait till next year

Sure, the section after the finish timer looked like fun, but if I tried to optimize my line to the finish timer, then I was somewhat out of shape exiting the lane change. I know, it was a for-fun event and I should not have been concerned about incurring a penalty after the finish, but I hate coning or DNFing in any circumstance.

I did enjoy the timed part quite a bit. Nice job!

I didn't do either but I was sliding through there in my best Kevin Allen imitation :lol: (albeit not that good a one) :oops:
