I don't know if it was ridiculous, (haha) but it was good enough for the CS win and 2nd in pax I think. I'm really looking forward to learning the car.

Can I drive your car?

Rachel told me when she got home -- "you're in trouble...Matt ran a low 56.... 2nd in pax"...etc. I'm smiling Big, because that was Great News!!

This makes me want to buy an RX8. That, and the amazing feel of that car compared to any Subaru I've driven. Most of you guys heard me raving about Deb's car today. So sharp on turn in, so easy to keep tidy, doesn't step out under power, doesn't push under power, and I am probably still only pushing it 8/10ths in a lot of places, especially slaloms and rapid transitions. When I feel like I've got no development left for the FP wagon, I will have to seriously look into one of these instead of an Evo.

That's nice to read, makes me feel better about driving the RX8 (this long). For me, the grass is greener on the other side, I am coveting awd!

You've been driving the same car (essentially) for 8 years now- I don't think I'll ever be able to keep the same car for half that long. In fact, I haven't run a signle car in back-to-back seasons since my first RS was totalled.

If I hang on to the wagon for 3 years, I am sure I'll be looking for something different, whether it's an Evo or one of the better RWD sports cars.

Round 2 results posted.

Apparently the timing laptop ate the round 1 results, so they might be a while.

cody · 2011-05-03, 11:16 AM

Thanks, Mike!

MikeK · 2011-05-04, 07:32 PM

Round 1 results and updated PAX/class standings are up.

Thanks to Van for sucking it down with that shitty ass timing software!

MikeK · 2011-05-28, 06:44 PM

cody · 2011-05-28, 07:07 PM

Something looks wrong. It looks like only the first 3 runs are being counted?

Van is taking time out from buffing the Bentley to look at the issue now.

MattR · 2011-05-28, 07:15 PM

Yeah, on the other board Mike's been made aware...unfortunately, that is likely the file that was passed over.

What was your best run Cody?

Close though!

MattR · 2011-05-28, 07:18 PM

You're not to be trusted Mike. I can't tell if you're serious or not.

MattR · 2011-05-28, 07:19 PM

Well, I still have hope that the calculator might save me.

rory_a · 2011-05-28, 07:42 PM

Second by .12

Second to a 240sx with an LS2, I'll take that.

Something came up and I think I'm gonna miss tomorrow. I paid for the full weekend though. Anyone know if there's any chance of getting a refund for tomorrow, or who to contact regarding that?

cody · 2011-05-28, 07:45 PM

Rory, I'm sure a refund can be had this weekend or at the next event you attend. Maybe txt me tomorrow afternoon so I remember to say something to Tim. He runs reg. now.

I got a clean 42.0xx on my last run today. Thank god cuz I was doing awful before that.

MikeK · 2011-05-28, 07:57 PM

Results posted for realsies this time.

rory_a · 2011-05-28, 08:44 PM

Thanks Cody.

And ugh, my times only got bumped lower

It is what it is. More work to come soon - thinking power steering might help me in the coming events. off to find a pump now....
