I was kidding about the cheating part, I am sure it was an honest mistake. Next time, maybe you won't let your alcoholism get the best of you before an event!

Do you change tires after every autox?
Seems like you're running something different each time.

How were people braking for the right hander where you double back into the pretzel? I don't think I ever came close to getting that right, either hit the brakes too early, ended up in a wide spin-drift taking the course with me, or didn't brake hard enough for a good line coming out of the corner.

I resemeble that remark. I only drink once in a blue moon. Unfortunately the timing is always poor and the people I'm hanging with don't have to get up at 7 to go drive.

Except in South Carolina - there it was because I hadn't slept in two days and was in 9th place.

I'll be at the Oct. event. I've had it with MSCC's rat mazes and if I have to drive on a little asphalt postage stamp then St. Pete's alot closer.

I was surprised how easily they broke loose on me in the first right hander, but your car is so well balanced that I just let it drift. What are you using for suspension these days?

is that where you almost took out the timing equipment but instead severed the lines and did take it out?
