Hey, thanks, Charles! I was just coming here to post this.
Awesome event today! 56 drivers, 8 runs, done and gone by 4:30. It doesn't get any better than that! Huge thanks to Event Chairman Chad Sutton, Co-Chairman Susie Sutton, Registrar Mark Cookman and assistant Wendy, and all of the other volunteers who made this event go so smoothly.
About that finish... you know, if people didn't panic and lock up their brakes they did just fine. It's not like there was a "stop box" there or anything. You merely had to slow down enough to hook to the left a little bit. It WAS a little hairy for about the first 5 cars that ran early in the morning. The exit gate to the left was VERY tight at that time requiring a HARD 90-degree left.
Consider it a "bonus challenge". After the finish, so it didn't count for anything (we didn't even count the cones that people hit when they blew the braking zone), but a good test of your braking control.
