what do you guys think of the event.. i had a great time setting up and running the course. I thought the afternoon course was amazing, we changed it a little because we unearthed a pipe and had to tighten the turn.. making the last bit a challenge.
I never played on gravel before, so that was fun.. even sandblast is not gravel it is sand.Whether the subaru makes another appearence is yet to be seen. Most likely I will be in the sentra again. As long as second is all we use, first and second, we are fine.. We need a bungee to hold her in gear, second gear syncro is bad.I may be taking it out again, my father does not want to do it again, :lol: anyway.. on to NCCAR, or summit point if you want.We may do it if we can get some others to join us.

The slalom at the end of the afternoon course were a bit too tight, but as that is my only complaint about the event, I'd say it was pretty good.

The Wilson site makes me wish I'd ordered my suspension refresh at the end of last year instead of now- it was fast enough that the body roll in the Forester was a bit crazy.

Also, who got the ticket like 400 yards down the road from the gate? They'd almost made it in this morning. So close!

Great job on the courses-- I had a blast! It helped I couldn't see times or hear any announcements about cones, which, strangely enough made it more fun. :-)

the slalom was needed, to slow everyone down somewhere. i thought it was fine, i simply swung my way through it. was a excersize for the power steering, and swing techniques. Ryan, how did you get a ticket ? whatever.. On to NCCAR!or summit point.
