Great event. I was only watching this time but it gave me a chance to notice how everyone is doing. Imo we (florida in general) are beginning to turn it up a notch.

Great job out there to all who drove. It was very entertaining.

after the run he was nice enough to tighten my ebrake (it was always like that so I never really knew any different) and he adjusted my timing ghetto style , but it seemed to help quite a bit.

He said that I should check it when I can.

but, I was in group 4, the grey s13 hatch with sleepy eye headlights and stock alloy rims. I had so much damn understeer!! Guess the open diff doesn't help too much either.

so.. when is dday5 coming?
I can just see all of the times I had major understeer repeating over and over in my head, thinking I should have done this , or that.. pulled the ebrake a little bit longer, got a little bit more sideways..etc.

Tony helped me out a lot with his instruction, I can't wait to get more practice.

and 40 driver limit was nice, plenty of seat time
