Wow! Classing for the "Other" Catagory.
Maybe the PCA guys should follow suit.

I actually don't deserve the 9 points in the 6 cyl class, because I ran my best time in the Neon in the afternoon.
I think I should have been in the Prepared class behind Bob.

I just sent an email suggesting splitting the PCA "other" class (non bmw or Porsche) into a Street tire class, and a Race Tire class. The dividing line to be a treadwear rating of 200.

I thought about splitting it up by displacement, but tire seems to make more sense. And since I have to track the results this year, I didn't want a lot of classes.

Yeah this was a lot more fun...maybe the car/track? See the link below on when good driving goes bad. Thankfully The softer rear resolved most of this. For all you fans of the talkin-to-self this is a keeper.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

Thanks for the video Dennis.
But come on, what a little spin.
I like to show off with a full 360 to give the fans their money's worth.

The car sounded real good. I had not noticed at the event.
