Damn. That's a little fast for the lot, IMO. But glad everyone came out unscathed!

Chris, if you had only seen how close part of the course was to hard objects.....I will post my video and Lin's video ( in the GT500 BTW ) later this evening. My fastest run was 1.1 seconds faster than the video I will post, but yea it was scary in places.

I know I had plenty of time left on my runs.. but, no way I was gonna shovel it up and put it on JYs trailer to get it home.. lol

I went from riding the limiter... to the slowest corner on course.. (beside the ditch).. nope.

Krampart..(ND)or what eva his name is.. ran the whole course in 3rd.. less 2 corners.. or so it seemed from my POV course working..

probably was the fastest course overall I have ever run the speeds were high errrrrrrrwhere. 1.2 miles long and 57.7xx was my fastest time, I wish I had taken the hoosiers now cause I think I would have been in the mid 55's or low 55's
EDIT Probably not as fast as Tom O's course at Wilmington tho

If it is where I'm thinking, it is kinda dirty/broken up in that corner, too.

Its at the left side of the lot,right at the first set of houses.. the big ditch that separates the lot.. from the houses. we came in hard perpendicular to the ditch and made a hard right.

Dennis went into ice mode.. and no joke... stopped maybe 2 feet from the ledge. but, he's AWD.. no worries!

I had a blast.

It was a fun course.

Car felt VERY flat all day then just laid down on my second to last run.

Found a loose wire on the fuel pump relay fuse block. Broke that sucker off and wired it directly to the battery. Only got 1 run with more than "CSP" power and went a 55. Something with one really sizeable mistake.

All in All, it was a great day

Wow what a awesome course! That shit was fast. And as Jeff said you needed some balls to go fast there. I had to put ice on mine on the way home. I was trying so hard to catch Jeff's damn flyer he put down. ETR did well down there. Fun times guys!

I posted the fastest video that I had recorded, but the fastest run was 1.1 seconds faster than the one I posted and their were 4 areas where I still feel like I could have went faster but I had BB balls and didn't attempt the fate of the ditch or brick building. Very fun course other than that and a very fast course. I honestly think I could have dropped another 4-6 tenths in the evening and got close to a 57.000 if I had the balls lol JY

Same. I still haven't determined what decent means, though.

It is a low of 33 the Sunday morning with partly cloudy skies and a high of 51 about noon, not sure if I am going to make the trip with those temps.

Can any one IM Dennis to see if they have a course map or what kind of course they plan on running, be a game time decision for me if I go.
