Yeah, Michelle read them from a backup file while I re-staged and typed in the times manually on another computer. It did suck. Didn't take as long as I thought though.
Been there, did that trying to recreate a rallyX. It sucked monster b...s with just the low number of entrants at that rallyX. Thanks y'all

I was in the car for Chris's last two runs when he went into first for the uphill section. It feels really bad when you get it wrong, but it felt great when he did it right. That rev match seems really difficult in that short period.
Edit: spelling

I couldn't go back to 1st, but Coldbeer asked me what happened on my last run up the hill … he said it didn't sound like I got back on the throttle until about halfway up the hill
it was just that Honda and torque aren't used in the same sentence … my foot was flat on the floor … if we'd been running the other direction, it wouldn't have seemed so bad
but since the "drive" wheel on a Honda is the right front, even if I could have shifted to 1st, all I'd have done is just spin that wheel, since it would have been unloaded … therefore not going anywhere … just making a lot of noise

look up the numbers... then try yourself in a Miata. you'll think your CRX is a Diesel.

I was on the throttle from the moment the steering started to unwind … just no umph down low

Maybe you overbroke. My car felt pretty decent there.
Not slowing down enough entering the chute was where I lost a lot of time. I kept trying to carry too much speed and got on the throttle late every time.
The sad thing is that I know better, but did it anyway.
