Damn, ESP had 9 competitors today

It was good fun, I just wish I could have gotten at least a little closer to Derrick and Cody.

Yeah, that was fun.

That's right Bitches!!!!

That car was F*ing AWESOME out there! As fast as that course was, I didn't think it'd do that good... 3rd gear FTW!!!

That was just too much fun. And top 20 pax in my 1st SM event, not too shabby!

MattR · 2007-04-16, 07:15 AM

Scott, Mike, thanks for getting those results posted up so quickly, you guys Rock.

Nice work Fuckers...but I'm used to Cory beating me.

I noticed you guys getting into 3rd out there. I didn't realize that the RS was geared nice and low like that.

Dude.. 57.604 < 57.888. Cory beat you in raw time. In an RS. With less mods. How much more beat do you want to be?

cody · 2007-04-16, 09:13 AM

Yes, I realize Cory beat me in raw time. Did you think I meant 3rd place? I was talking about 3rd gear.

MPREZIV · 2007-04-16, 09:16 AM

3rd gear down the entire back of the course! Just pinned the throttle to the floor and TOSSED the car!

It was almost scary, you couldn't get the car outta shape!

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-16, 09:22 AM

On the slalom? I pinned it to the rev limited in second before that little chicane thingy. On my last run I got kinda gnarly. I think Brian and Alex probably saw it. You're car looked freakin hot out there. Even thought it was hella cold.

MPREZIV · 2007-04-16, 09:25 AM

Yes, I was catching 3rd at the last slalom cone, and hanging it through that chicane... That's where I ended up OWNING some cones on my last run tho... 56.6xx +2

Nick Koan · 2007-04-16, 09:26 AM

Going flat out on that last chicane is where I got a little loose myself

But, I didn't hit any cones and I didn't spin (though I easily lost 1/2 a second).

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-16, 09:31 AM

It's hard to judge (for me at least) exactly what is going on while it's happening, but I was just glad that I kept the car under control when the ass end kicked out 3 times and each time it felt progressively more tail happy. And no cones. =D And my quickest run. Even tho I never realized what I was supposed to be doing on the last turn until well after everything was over.

I thought you were stirring the pot and saying "Nice work fuckers (sarcasm)... but I'm used to Cory beating me and this time he didn't". I guess I'm just too used to the shit talking around here!

On a more serious note... Cody, you drove really well on Sunday. We give you ton's of shit around here (I guess simply 'cause you dole it out yourself and are a master of rolling with the punches), but it really is all in fun.

And in general, SECCS made quite the showing at round 1. Check out the PAX results... fully 1/3 of the points paying positions are SECCS members, and that's with 5 ringers from Sac that came up to put the smack down on us.

Oh and Cory, not to suggest that you swap classes but just to gauge our results, you and I would have finished 7th and 10th in overall PAX with the TDSP modifiers. And if your 56.6 had been clean, you would have been in 6th overall PAX, just a 10th behind MattR.

Yeah, I usually compare my overall results against TDSP, but rules is rules, and frankly, I think it's more fun watching the other SM guys walk around scratching their heads 'cause I'm kickin' their asses!

We saw you, it was pretty impresive. I remember thinking to myself, of course Alex said it out loud, "Damn, he was lucky he pulled that off!"

cody · 2007-04-16, 10:10 AM

Ha! No worries. I try to do all my shit talking before events to psych out the competition. Talking shit after is just mean.

NevadaSTi · 2007-04-16, 10:13 AM

BTW, Nice job Alex at kicking my butt!

Alex kicked ass...9th in PAX.

A1337STI · 2007-04-16, 10:19 AM

On my last run i tried to just lift a bit on the throttle to make the chicane into that next right hander. but i got the car unsettled and didn't back off in that corner, was going to plow toward the outside cones so i lifted off the gas and touched the brakes and spun out. (maybe next time brake but stay where i was on the gas?) Then the course workers gave me big time shoulder shrug. (like maybe a Why did you lift / brake when you were on the verge of losing it)

Highly entertaining! Felt like it was going to be a fast run, doh!

57.X with what? 90 HP and a few gerbils powering your car? That's just crazy talk! Very Very nice driving you two.

and on a side note it only took me 1 year to try out Auto on the DCCD.

NevadaSTi · 2007-04-16, 10:22 AM

RT615's and DCCD in Auto FTW!!!

Now all you need is a 32mm FSB

Who took some pictures of my cousin Boxster sliding on Sat? He would like a copy.

wrxkidid · 2007-04-16, 06:38 PM

hey if you look at the raw times for RNP i got first!!!!!!! :LOL: hah no scott ran that 57.we just kept forgetting to switch the number on my car haha. so scott you won PAX for RNP and i got 3rd??
nice.

sperry · 2007-04-18, 10:16 AM

Just something I was thinking about while looking at the autox pictures from Sunday:

Cody, you didn't go back to your stock grill for round 1 did you? Which means that technically, with a 1st in class and 11th place PAX finish, you took a lot of points from people below you in a car that doesn't actually conform to your classes rules.

Now I know that the grill has no real performance benefit, but there are potentially people out there that won't see it that way. Plus, it's just not cool to knowingly run illegally. You probably should go back to your stock grill for ESP, or come play with us in SM.

Sorry to be a rule nazi, but if you're going to be running top-10 in PAX this season, you should be concerned with being legit... even if the rules are dumb.
