I'm curious to know how many offs we had? I'm talking about those with four-wheels off. I had four out of my six runs. Also, total the last person's so I don't have to add!

Hmm... so obviously, we need slower courses when it is so cold out as drivers can't predict the course well enough.

Noted.

Brian, you had to be there to understand. Phil's not complaining, and I don't think anyone else is, either. There were a lot of spectacular offs, mostly I think because the speeds were so high, but there was plenty of runoff room, and no one suffered any damage that I know of. It was all part of the fun of the day- sorry you couldn't be there, but great course! :D

Zero for me or my car, or the 3 (?) people who drove it.

I think Rick's and Pj's spins need to count for more tha one. At least a 2.5. Pj's car looked like the damn Energizer bunny.

I went off my first run. Tons of fun though. I was beat from a long week and packed it in after my work shift. I hated to miss on more runs in the afternoon, but I needed some r and r at home.

I can proudly say that I had ZERO offs, even after trying to do stoopid stuff with Todd's car. :shock:

Zero for me, not fast enought to shoot the car into the weeds.

Favorite offs: First group, red S2000 that ran off the course near station four and slowly wandered into the woods.
The black Integra(?), third group, that made it across the center ditch
My boss lifting throttle just pass the finish and backing his car off the course. :D

Running total = 12 :shock:

BTW I had a spin and a run into the ditch at the taxiway Saturday due to stupidity and cold :oops: Does that count.

Great course had a blast. It was fun to be pretty flat out in 3rd through the whole course. I didn't hit a cone all day :shock:


It was so open that even Graham had good times. :P

I really hate Tupelo now.

Anyone have video?

I did not go off but I think I had the best spin. I thought I did a 360 but more than one person said it was a 540. Lifting off the gas while turning is not a good idea in a mid-engine car.

Definitely the fastest course we have every run since I have been autocrossing.
