This is a bad drawing but is the course in reverse doable coming up the shoot? I don't remember many (just one or two) which we ran up?

It is doable and I think Chris has something like that in mind Paul for the next event.

I can remember coming up the shoot once or twice but don't remember how the course flowed.

Brian Robbins, I just looked at your times and you are doing something right as you have dropped your times a lot with the first event of this year. Nice job driving.

Yes, next course will be more uphill, and depending on number of entries will have a crossover near the beginning that will add some length to the course.

Thanks, didn't feel great, but I was "dusting off the rust". Gears helped I think. Still nowhere near the limiter. May be different at Dixie lol

I'm pretty sure we ran up the chute for the first event I ran with you guys in late 2015.

Just going to throw this out there since 9 times out of 10, i'm the last place in Pro. I would not encourage people to use last (or especially myself) in Pro as a benchmark. I only run Pro because that's where the car owner (chris) wanted to run, and i'm by no means a "good" or "fast" driver. Now, if someone wants an ego boost, go ahead an use me as a benchmark to beat. :wink: just my .02

Our first event of the year ran great....with a few hiccups. Lots of new faces who appeared to be having a fun time with 6 runs! The course was awesome thanks to Chris Harp! Thank you for all who came out to start the season with positive attitudes! Thank you JB for allowing me tof run such a fun, peppy Lil car! :)
