Well..maybe not the smoothest event.. lol

I am still learning the new car..but Harps course seemed to be conducive to a high torque FWD car... I hope all drivers had as much fun as I did!

High torque or high horsepower = over 130 to the wheels :D

Anyway, I thought the course was a lot of fun, though I wish I could have gone a bit faster.

...and the long sleeved trophies are pretty sweet.

Anyone find a tire pressure gauge like this?

I seemed to have lost it at some point.

I had a blast driving the CRX. Fun day.

It was a little chilly it was a little slick but it was a lotta fun. Enjoy Chris's course designs...the trophy shirts were a little different glad I got one. I think everyone had a great time this weekend.

I never quiet figured out why the worker was bringing cars to a complete stop after the finish .. being a sitting duck while cars blew thru the finish bearing down on you.. seemed a lot more risky than going around the outside of turn one at a safe distance.. on your return trip to grid.. (?)

Had an awesome time! My car did really well on course. First time, I believe, I have ever been top 5 RAW.

I wish I had GoPro footage of my runs but for some reason the damn thing corrupted all the data on the SD card. Also I apologise about timing. First time running the computer and radio at the same time, to top it off we were getting 4 cars on track at a time. Things were a bit chaotic. Ted couldn't write fast enough and by the time something was caught 4 cars were still on course, adding insult to injury. It will get better as I learn the software. Between USB port disconnectivity and row shifts I think I have seen some of the worst that can happen....I hope.
