Dixie Tour Thread
Re: Dixie Tour Thread
Most of our elements are national style elements and our courses are no different except smaller due to smaller lots.

Re: Dixie Tour Thread
entry and exit speeds and the ability to maintain that momentum is the biggest differences at National Events.
only Bristol allows that

Re: Dixie Tour Thread
I can see how it is a smaller scale of things for a bigger car with power, but it is a totally different experience in an ES (or STS) car, IMO. The ES winner only broke once on Sunday up to the turn around. I want to say that I did the same, but I don't know for certain.

Re: Dixie Tour Thread
I would say that's probably true. I broke twice....very very slight tap to get the car into the very first element (could have probably lifted) and then the kink.

Re: Dixie Tour Thread
I broke at the first element on the first run, but I was flat through there on 2 and 3 after watching Jonathan Roberts rape the limiter. I may or may not have broke for both turns leading into the bump. I told Eric Peterson that I only broke once there and I tried to, but I may have done a confidence brush going in. Jonathan Roberts definitely didn't brake there.

Re: Dixie Tour Thread
I broke many times... Many. Possibly why I was slow. Averaged 4.3 seconds slower that strano.
Bristol last year for the tour was a hoot. This was that, but times 10. That's not knocking John's course...he did awesome. This course was just that much fun.
Looks like I have enough vacation to do both the pgh and Peru tours. Not going to be in town for the Bristol one this year.
