Congrats to JB on the championship. If Jeff drank beer you would owe him a big one! Great driving, Jeff! I didnt have anything for your fast run today.

Loved that ETR horsepower course! With the tweaks made this morning, I think it ended up like Fox news... Fair and balanced. Awesome day!

I hear there was a Mustang 3 that kicked some serious tail today.

Great day of racing. I was able to pull off my first top 3 finish in raw time (excluding the kart). I am inching closer and closer to that mustangs times with much smaller tires and less HP.
Thanks for a fun course

I'll be the recent Trump.. and curtail my truer feelings..

And if it took you six tries on course to get in the winning pax zip code.. your argument is not valid..
We get three runs. 3.

There was nothing fair between HP cars and small low HP cars, any where on that course. All we did this morning was make it "driveable ".. that is all.
The start 3 cone off sets were the only place at low HP car had even a shot.
But if some folks feel that's a fair and balanced course to boost their egos .. so be it.

I don't know if I have won Pro or not.. it's becoming less important to me as the year progresses tho ..

All I have to say is you got beat by a very underprepped STF Focus. I think that means you didn't get out horsepowered.

Congrats on the championship.

I thought RC was running PES, not ES. The final results have him winning ES.

Robert and Mark found some time after their 3rd runs, so there was some more time and I can deal with that, though I'm not sure if there was time enough to win, but I will say that I didn't find the course very fun.

Robert was in pro just didn't show up that way and speaking of Robert, if you take away my times as if I was not there Pilson wins with a pax time of 33.502 and Robert would have been second with a pax time of 33.535. That is only 33 thousands off of first place so the answer in short was if it was a horsepower course that means it is now in the same horsepower status as the mustang. Horsepower course my a$$.

If Robert was in Pro, we would have only counted his first 3 runs. He is too good to get twice as many runs as the rest of us...

I had fun today. The weather was phenomenal.

Absolutely. Given what we had the last few days, today was a minor miracle.

Except that time was on Robert's fifth run. Counting only the first three runs, RC finishes with 34.073, or sixth between McCrary and Rife. Even so, it shows that a lower horsepower car could PAX with the big bore cars.

That time was also set after the extra cone was removed at the end of the first uphill run. I really don't know how long that cone had been there, but the course with that cone was almost certainly slower than without it.

[MARKP]

Really, I dont think the cone hurt. I ran shallower with the cone removed and had to dodge the uphill cone on the gate before the chute as a result.

So that is why I started screwing up the exit on that turn...
