Thanks for posting the results so quickly! We had a great time today. Looks like I'm about the only one who didn't stick around for the afternoon. I probably should have, but I was happy to get out of the "all day" experience for a change.

Got to flog my son's Miata and wring it out for the first time, it was good.

[w0rd]

No problem.
I just updated the overall pax results. I think Elliot's best PAX run was in his car on race tires. So I adjusted it.

Short course? man only 1 car in S/M and its a mustang. Hmm maybe I should drive tomorrow

Updated with today's results.

FTD went to an ES Miata? Did I read that right?

Edit - I read it right (bottom of the page), but it's not correct. There were much faster times.

[nunyo]

What's even more impressive is that the ES Miata was on street tires. Trey is getting to be quite formidable in that Miata.

Yesterday's course was very cool in my opinion. It really rewarded bravery in some sections. In particular, my runs didn't start getting fast until I went flat out through the Key West box. After the first time I tried it, I knew I had a fast run going when I hit the rev limiter in second as I was passing through it. The turnaround section at the end of the course was a refreshing change from the more typical setup that we used on Saturday.

Running such a short course allowed us to get a lot of attempts at the course without really overheating the tires. My wife and I were in the same heat on Azenis and I didn't really feel the need to spray down the tires between runs.

It was also cool for me anyway to see the street tire and race tire drivers posting times so close to each other. I'm used to being blown away by drivers on R-compound tires. I'm sure that's just a matter of the course being too short to really pull a big advantage.

It was a lot of fun, and I want to thank everyone that came out and participated.

speed maintence, transition courses don't show the R-tire/street tire difference, and they also don't give huge benefits to powerful cars...hence Trey's, Elliots, etc's times being so fast.

McIlvanie is just crazy. On DOT tires no less in his AP car.

Great event!
Thanks to everyone for all the hard work.
A challenging course that gave no mercy. If you were perfect like Dave said -you were fast -if not like me - coned or dnf.
Hats off to Dave for being so fast in a big car.
I needed two more runs in someones Miata.

Jesse - you need to learn to play nice with other people's cars. I thought I taught you better than that!
Don't ever beat the owner when you are driving their car.
Now you will never drive any of my cars again.

Fantastic Event!!

That box was my main concern on that course. I'm not sure if it's designed as such, but it may not have been perfectly symmetrical. The guy in the orange Z walked it to see if their was a wider half. He told me the left side was wider by one "shoe length". Regardless, I think everyone would agree the right side was faster. However, I never found the bravery mentioned above to go through it flat out... as reflected in my times.

On the novice walk through, Danny said that it's also known by names that might be offensive. What names? :smirk:

[mrf582]

yup, that course needed absolute precision driving or you'd hit cones with the rear end. i could get my front end through the course on teh correct line but the rear end with it's A.D.D. wouldn't comply at times. also that very first right hand turn on sunday sucked ass for me. if it wasn't for that i would've been able to get a clean run in.

but had tons of fun. great event. and going full throttle through the 'Key West' box was fun.

If you lined up for the key west box correctly, even a WIDE car could go through without steering. Jamal's flared fenders and 285s on all 4 corners went through it without an issue IF you lined it up correctly. Jamal may have video of that run, my fastest, the 29.1.

Keith! Jamal beat me raw. I was just clean.

[MrSideways]

Sounds like Cones were the name of the game on Sunday like they were on Saturday. Took till my 9th run to finally get it clean in peters car on Saturday. It was just soooo brutal to drive. It wasn't a matter of slowing down to get though it was more like, Getting lucky and not hitting something one lap.

[mofugga]

who closed the gate early? :mad: :mad: :mad:

[nunyo]

who closed the gate early? :mad: :mad: :mad:

??

Gate was open till at least 9:00 AM each day.

Who was late?

Just for future reference, I'm cracking down on the time table for all the morning crap. The sooner that stuff is done the sooner events can start. I'm shooting for first car off by 10:00. Saturday we started at 10:06 and Sunday at 10:10. Not bad for the first weekend of really focusing on it.

Cute tag line, I'm loving the irony.

[mrf582]

hahaha, dem fightin' words.

[mofugga]

tony,

i was "late" & for future reference if you are going to close the gate at 9am the event info over at myautoevents should be updated accordingly.here's a link to the sign up (http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmEventDetail.Show?psevent_id=3565)

"Past 9:30am , do not expect to gain entrance to the site as someone will need to tend the gate to let groups in."


this is my point & according to this i was not "late" as i arrived around 9:15am, granted it's later than i'd planned to arrive but... :mad:


i updated my description just for you :fart:

[flmcoupe]

Great event! Jesse did a great job in my car! I couldn't get my $hit together! I even took out 6 cones in one run, a record for me! :) I'll see if I can post a video or two soon.

[nunyo]

Point taken, I'll be sure that future events are described more accurately on myautoevents. Sorry that you drove all the way out there to find a locked gate.

Jamal, although dirty, was faster than me in the morning session with at least one 28.XXX run.


THANK YOU JAMAL!!! GREAT CAR!

Here is a video of my best CLEAN (http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wOTM4MDg1NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D) run. Here is the best DIRTY (http://www.we-todd-did-racing.com/wetoddimage.wtdr/wOTM4MDg2NnM0MTNkZmQzMXk1NDE%3D)

[Mars_302]

damn that course looked quick as hell

[mrf582]

nice vids jeremy. at the next autoX see if you can position the rear view mirror so the camera captures what has happened behind teh car as well. probably be a good way to see which cones exactly were hit.

[jaball77]

It was pretty fast. Jeremy and Trey were hitting the limiter in 2nd by the end of the front side... in 105whp Miatas, haha. I don't think they lifted at all through the first section. I was a wuss and I did... :mad:

I wasn't a fan of the start, and the Key West Box was tricky to get through at first, but overall it was a great course. It certainly felt longer than 30 seconds...

[chi town brat]

had a great time out on the course. dayum some of you guys are faster than hell. nice job on the apex. see you at Sebring!

[flmcoupe]

Here's a couple of Jesse's runs (http://www.fastjam.com/autox/jesse-cfr.wmv) from inside and outside. Very nice driving! My poor car getting abused! :( Needed a taller gear!

File size is 18 megs.
