Thanks man but there was definitely time on the table. Car still has shifting issues necessitating short shifting and it wasn't uncommon to miss a gear, plus one or two screwups that are tough to spot from that angle, overall solid runs though.

Hard to say what we'd change, ESP was a small and super competitive class running some seriously developed national trophying cars and drivers... and then us in my codriver's daily. I managed to eek by the slowest of our competitors by a couple hundredths with those solid runs but without lots of money and development thrown at the car it is hard to see us being very competitive nationally.

RS3s were very common and fast, and surprisingly some of the fast guys were on Yokohamas (ad08s I guess).

Gary I never felt worker placement was bad. We did have one or two people get mixed up on the crossover and start going backwards on course though which was scary.

Damn, that course looked fun. Nice driving, i don't see anything left on the table. What would you guys change for next time?

It's fun to see all the heavy iron that shows up for national level events. I tuned in via ustream to see how some of the locals did. The battle in str was epic.

Did you hear anything about what street tire works best up there? I saw a lot of guys running rs3's.

[Gary Horneck]

That is awesome! Hauling ass course. I can't believe where some of the course workers are standing though. Be tough to get out of the way a car coming at you at those most excellent speeds.

[Wh33lhop]

Pro Solo runs! God this was cool, even in a way underprepped car.

[tinkerputzer]

Nah fastest known run (on top) had the slide going from the left hand sweeper to the straight.

Awesome, good luck!

[Wh33lhop]

Did you get the top and bottom mixed up? You were really on-point in the top run through the first half, seemed the bottom caught up a bit in the second half but it was harder to tell a difference in your line through that section.

Pro Solo this weekend at crows, finally!

[tinkerputzer]

That is funny stuff. Co-driver sabotage, karma got him though.

My last run from saturday i thought was going be my best but timing was down so for fun i put this together in racerender.

[Wh33lhop]

Helmet run... I was really trying for a good time anyway, lol



Aaaaaand here's my codriver when he found out he coned his fastest run... that is cartman level rage

Lovely S54 estoril blue Mcoupe at last weekends auto-x!

[matthugie]

That PCA course looks great! I've run with the club around here and they do something similar. The last one I ran had the same speeds, and doing the course properly required 9 shifts. Pretty crazy, but a lot of fun.

Crazy wide open course at El Toro with PCA this weekend. It really let the GT3's and vettes stretch their legs. I was hitting 75-80 in 3rd on the straight.

Damn that looks fun!

[tinkerputzer]

Nice drive! That's fun to watch. Can tell you blended all the elements of the course together nicely especially the the last left hander into the slalom entrance.

My last run was a 37.9 because my codriver forgot to take his helmet out of the car and I didn't realize until it hit me in the head on the first right hander, lol.

Wow, that'd scare the crap out me.

[Wh33lhop]

Daaaamn that's crazy! Tons of revlimiter.

Here's last weekend's best runs. 37.700 (me, bottom) vs 37.769 (codriver, top).



I pull a couple tenths ahead twice and he catches me twice. Damn, gotta get faster!

My last run was a 37.9 because my codriver forgot to take his helmet out of the car and I didn't realize until it hit me in the head on the first right hander, lol. Haven't seen that video yet.

Crazy wide open course at El Toro with PCA this weekend. It really let the GT3's and vettes stretch their legs. I was hitting 75-80 in 3rd on the straight. Here's two of the runs. Second slightly slower run has a fun slide at 1:04.
