Were people satisfied with the number of laps? (9 runs x2 laps = 18 laps)

When running the start, I tried to space everyone so that there was enough headroom if the previous driver were to spin or go off track. This was pretty easy in the Advanced/Intermedeate group where pretty much everyone was staying on target. It's always a tricky thing for us to juggle both keeping everyone safe and compliant with our insurance requirements and giving everyone as much action-packed track time as possible.

As a whole, drivers who ascribe to the "start small, go big" doctrine were the ones who were able to advance the most in the short time.

Big thanks to everyone for coming out and I'm really glad to see everyone seems to feel positively about the event!

thanks for the comment. i kinda went out and pushed just to see what the car was capable of. still needs a few things to be perfect. more grip and more power!!!!!!! its time for the next level.

how funny... don't even start talking about overheating problems on the highway.

i'm running an 86 radiator on an SR
my top sustainable speed on the highway is 70mph with the heater blasting.

first, i was a spectator only, i had a good time, 2nd what sucked was the 2nd 3rd and 4th groups. now im not trying to say u guys suck, infact i know its hard and no one can just go out and do that without lots of practice, but what sucked was the hot fn sun,which i have 3rd degrees! haha and after watching the first group get 4 cars on the track that was awsome, the rest of the time seemed to take for EVER! keep up the good work and practicing! maybe next time the advanced classes should get to go after each group cause their group was on and off the track so fast! thats when everyone was watching... soon as there was 4 cars on the track the fense behind me was full of spectators who didnt pay...and for crying out loud, open that fn middle gate! walked a mile to get on the other side of the fense!!!!!!!

otherwise good job everyone!

yeah, i know i need bigger tires out back, but my entry speed was pretty high, not bad for only having 195/55/15's out back.
