Enjoyed the event today. Fairly conventional course, but it flowed well and we got through nice and early. Thanks to the event chairs (Liz & Rob, I believe) and the usual suspects in the officer ranks.

Wish I could have improved in runs 4&5, maybe that would have saved me hearing Lee Williams say "that's a fast time for Mustang". But not to worry, Rodney or I will get our revenge, once we determine which of us was insulted. At least neither of us were beaten by Suich and his Leaf.

Paging Andrew to the white courtesy phone.....

:lol:

Just kidding. I for reasons known only by me (

) loved watching the 2 and the Leaf out there!

At least Andrew had an excuse. A possum or a bowling ball got caught in his tire gap and slowed him down.

Great event! Thanks to all who put on a HUGE novice school!

Looking forward to getting better each event.lots of benchmarks for comparison.

Here is my best vs worst run...who says everyone goes slow through pivots?

edit: BTW, I never had any issue with Carlton's wireless results delivery app. Even if there were problems, it didn't seem noticeable. :thumbsup:

for doing this--I think everyone was using their devices yesterday! Thanks for making this work--esp the T&S crew who had a new wrinkle added to their usual routine.

Thanks to all who made it happen. Really had a good time yesterday. The course was very intriguing. Never thought that I could get through the off set slalom with just a lift, but did. That was weird, for sure. Defied what we know about doing slaloms, didnt it? Short, sweet, and lots of fun. Can't wait to review our data later this evening.

Our new set up really rocked. We came, ran, and packed up without changing a thing. Good times!

Jeremy and I have decided we dont know how we ran Frank all these years without a trailer! Agreed 1000%

agreed, great weekend w/ the novice school and the 1st points event. Nice course, flowed well and minimal coneage. On top of that the rain held off, so that was a huge bonus. Kudos to everyone for running another stellar event!!

BTW, I tried the wireless results for the first time this weekend. Carlton, there's a money making opportunity for you sir. You need to copyright it and sell. That was cool stuff....

Well, I meant without changing any settings. We didn't trailer yesterday, so we did change tires. But, I do agree. It's all easier when we tow.

It was my first event in a few years and it was nice to see some old friends and meet some new ones! The course flowed well to me and the event ran like clockwork. Love the T/S App, they are right Carlton, you should patent that Sh$%. Thanks to the event chairs and officers for putting on a great event.

Good to see you back Shawn! Too bad for me you haven't dropped any of your driving skillz.

Thanks for the great event yesterday. I had a blast finally getting to autocross the S14 again and I can't wait until the next one!

Great event, everything seemed to go very smoothly. It's a shame that John took me by about a second though.

Here is my best run.

James, you mind if I add this link back the Danville Register story? Might be fun to add the drivers perspective.
