Fort Myers pro

Post by jcox07 »

Well after the long drive and walking the course, be glad you didn't come 65 feet slaloms and offset the bad way not a very good pro course design. There's gonna be a lot of cones hit at this one.

You usually do better at smaller stuff. You will be fine. Just stay off the cones.

Managed to get the last trophy spot in bump 3 with crappie front brake pads, I would like to have had my carbotech pads on it to see where I could have finished. I red lite my fastest right side and probably sounded like bucky in the car with a tirade of f bombs.

Yes at times a head on would have been possible if one of the two drivers made any kind of mistake at the point where they were close to each other, but if each was on the right lines and driving the course good, you were not that close. If the first car was late and had to slow on the back section, then yep you were headed to the same area at the same time. Not a very good course design for a fast paced pro national event. The amount of cones hit was way more than any pro I have been to.

I think I could have done well there. Would have been nice to run a pro and not have to run against Paul Brown, Eric Peterson, Adam Norton, etc, etc, etc.
