Hahaha :lol:

That's a hot pic of the result page. Mike just can't get it out of his head i bet... hahaha

With vegas hosting, and no Tire-pax I was 10th most helpful to the reno win. (Results err?) :lol: I got pwned once the Tire Modifer was applied.

Awesome to see Cory finally drive with a fair pax rating, and stomp all over my times. DSP could be quite the class to watch for close battles, and the very top of AS
good job Vic, damn on saturday .001 from 1st!! :| we need an STI on top of AS! :D

I wish I could have been there. If only my car wasn't broken into a week before the event... Stupid thieves

cody 2009-05-27 11:09 AM

Thanks Mike!

I wasn't very instrumental in the Reno victory, but I got my 20 class points and 28 pax points for the weekend. One nice thing about having so many different ways to look at it is you can usually find at least one way that makes you look good. :P

cody 2009-05-27 11:14 AM

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Reno have a huge advantage based on our larger attendance? Could the event be scored differently based on the average pax of LV vs the average pax of Reno to level the playing field, or is that how it's already done, effectively?

Just take a look at the lap times to figure out who's doing it better.

Sorry, I've got turrets syndrome, and adhd, so I was really excited about trash talking you, then forgot what I was talking about, how to drive at all really... I thought I knew how to drive, then forgot half way through and went the wrong way around the course. I'm glad I could partake in your video though!!!! ;) I'm kinda like a movie star now!!!

If it'll make you feel better, I'll record you going around the track next race and only talk 1/4 of the way through it about your driving... :P

I consider myself like a nascar driver commenting on F1 cars, "what the hell is this guy doing turning to the right!?!?!?!"

I like turtles....

That's what i did, it only took me looking at 5 or so pages of results to find one that made me look not so crappy ... +1 :?:



I like turtles too :D

I'm pretty sure that's how it's done. But that means it really depends on how many fast classes there are in each region, i.e Karts, ASP, BSP.etc...Which Reno has way more of.

Um.. what are you talking about? I didn't go to Hawthorne, so you certainly weren't talking over my video.

All I know is that you were suggesting MattR can't drive because he's jerking the wheel around, yet he paxed 4 seconds faster than you on Saturday and 2.6 seconds faster than you on Sunday. I would suggest you figure out how to go a bit faster before offering up your opinion on smoothness at autocross. You might be surprised at how smooth Matt actually is even when he's sawing on that wheel.

Sorry, I actually meant that for MattR, I don't want to offend you by using your quote...... :~:
I didn't mean slow steering, just smooth, I can't drive worth a shit, I'm just going off of what I've been told by people who are WAY better than I am, including a national driver who was in attendance... I'll take my PWN and shut up about other people.

Actually I would love for anyone to help me advance in autox so I can be equal with him or pass him in pax Matt is a really good driver from what I've seen, so he could probably help me a ton...

If you like I'll make a video for you and talk over it as well...? I don't want to leave anybody out or cause any hurt feelings.

Not really, because it's our average PAX time vs. their average PAX time. So, depending on which drivers show up, it can be an advantage either way.

cody 2009-05-27 05:38 PM

Cool, that makes the win all the more enjoyable. :) Just making sure they have no excuse. :P

sperry 2009-05-28 09:41 AM

In the past, we even went as far as dropping the lowest 10% of times from each side too, just so the regions didn't discourage new drivers from coming out and hurting the Challenge results. I'm not sure if that was done this season though since I wasn't there.

Kevin M 2009-05-28 10:41 AM

We dropped times that were more than 125% of the winning PAX time. IIRC this is how we've been doing it since I've been going out there.

MattR 2009-06-01 05:24 PM

Awesome runs posted by Gilbert! Wow! You should watch these
