[Alizarin]

Nice one with the red Mini lifting the inside wheel. Like it was gonna take a leak! :lol:

Saturday was worse, actually. It was about 40, cloudy, and windy all day. Miserable!

Sunday was PERFECT once the sun came up. The morning wasn't bad either. It was like 34, but there was no wind. :-)

were you the one i spoke to who said you were going to upload your photos onto the CFR site, were you working Station 4 during SM and STS?

[Rales]

Mike the guy that took the photos of my spin out was between station 1 and 2.... Unless you spoke to someone else about photos. We worked station 5.

[jaball77]

Nope. Those are the only photos I took all day. I worked Timing and Scoring.

[robofunc]

I didn't talk to the Mini guys, but they both looked fast on Sat. Particularly the Polka-dotted Rota one. He had the non-supercharged one, I think...

[chi town brat]

damnit my mission today is to update my calendar with events so i can get out there

i also need to put tires on my hatch and get him to the body shop to fix the damages

looks like a good event!

That looked scary from the grid. Did you almost hit those people or that hay-bale?

[Rales]

I actully just missed the people since they were standing in front of the haybail and they ran out of the way. I thought I was going to hit them since they stood there for so long like a deer in headlights. I did hit the haybail although really soft. I asked if they were ok and they said yeah so I got the car off the track then checked for damage. Only a few scrapes. I went over later to make sure I didnt damage any chairs and appologize to the people and to my surprise the girl actully got a little off tone with me. So I simply made sure they were ok along with the chairs as I would of paid for anything I wrecked.

[Mars_302]

I take it the hay bails were in the other field and the ppl you almost hit were the owners?

[robofunc]

Thankfully everyone was okay and no damage done. It would make me feel a little bad if I were in your shoes, but I'd forgive someone for going "off-tone" if I'd almost hit them. I've had to make that apology before, believe me.

In the end hopefully all drama has been avoided. That's the kind of thing that can give otherwise cool people a sore-spot for the sport.

BTW, I'm the kid with the black Si [Matt]. It was cool to see a Merkur at an autox. What was your best time?

[Mike]

The people we almost hit were people working that station, people who were running in the first session (AS, GS,etc..) i think dave got down into a 54.xx but dont hold me to it.. the car could get NO traction.

[Rales]

Yeah I dont have a sore spot for them I just thought I was the bigger person in the first place for appologizing. I could of just said forget it as it is a race track. Yes they were track workers so they should be aware of things like that happening. Regardless it was fun and I'll keep doing it and I hope they do also.

[bwlofcherrios]

It was awesome riding in the Merkur. The second run, it got a 56.959 :)

[FURIOUSS]

I was working directly across at station 5 and saw the Merkur spin. The workers actually had a lot of time to move, and the XR4 went a little past were they were originally standing. I think "deer in the headlights" is an accurate depiction.

It is pretty clear to me now why many autocross events don't allow you to take chairs out when you work. If they were sitting they could have been in trouble.

Thanks for bringing out the XR4. I liked your modifications.

[Rales]

Thanks. It was a blast! I total agree no chaires should be allowed in the racing area. The pits are fine. I'm shooting to have the Merkur back out in March when CFR comes back. I realy enjoy racing with them, they are a great group!

Anyone know the photographer that was between the 1 and 2 station. I really would like the pics he took of me spinning out. I would be willing to pay a little if need be.

[PseudoRealityX]

is the black Vette Mike Bullis' ZR1? Fast guy in a wheelchair...

Yeah, at least he ran on Sat. I wouldn't know about Sun. He was showing me the pneumatic hand controls and stuff he's got. That system is really cool...

[Rales]

That vette was bad ass! I was really impressed when I found out he was in a wheel chair, I give him mad props on that, he could drive the piss outa the car!!!

[Loren]

I was starting when he ran. About his 3rd run I was chatting with him while giving the slow driver ahead of him some distance (I'd already noticed how fast he was!) when I spotted the hand controls. I had no idea he was driving without legs. Truly impressive!

[Rales]

Hey guys the photographer posted up his pics. http://mav.mae.ufl.edu/mujahid/project_240/autox/brook_1_8/ My spin out and haybail deal is also on there.
