I felt sorry for the guys at the end of heat 2 and heat 3. Some sections of the course resembled a gravel road. Next time we have an event there, we should have brooms on critical portions of the course. I think if we take 5 minutes in the middle and the ends of each run group, we can sweep away the worst of the marbles.

The gravel was "interesting" :lol:

It seemed like it was in different locations on each run, especially at the far end of the course. A lightweight car on wide tires which tend to collect gravel makes for sudden loss of traction on gravel aka MARBLES. :lol:

so you were the one, that i almost had heart failure.. i thought you were going into the curbing. it was either the vette, or a mustang.
all i saw was a car going sideways through the finish, dark colored vette yeah? the wrx was certainly a learning experience with good tires on her.. It would turn in amazingly well and not push. Gotta try that again.The course got very gritty, which i thought would help my awd, but i just understeered alot.
Maybe I will go to sanford next, that is a turbo car freindly site.

Yeah, I went out and swept some during heat 1 in the middle L boxes, but the area that got bad (after the 4 cone slalom) was too difficult to sweep while cars were running considering a car came through there on both laps.

Yep, the 2 L boxes in the crossover were very marbly on my last run

. As I started coming around, I put it in 1st and was ready for the burnout 180 drift back in the correct direction...didn't want to give SeaBass a rerun unnecessarily
