Just throwing this one out for every one, but it looks like the local Jaguar Club is doing some 'slalom' events at KHS. Maybe an opportunity for ETR?

we used those lots years ago, it's a small and I mean small lot. even had some events where we ran between 2 of the lots, agrivating the safety stewards heart condition. We could not run the groups of cars we have these days there.

Yea, think William Blount, just less pavement. (80 grit sandpaper) :)

It was "decent" back when we were only getting like 35-40 car turnouts. :)

:shock:

20++ second course, you all weren't kidding. If I don't have any other obligations that Sat., I may just drag the Miata out there.

Yup, 2-lap courses were almost always done at Karns. Makes it tough when we need two cars on course to get done in time these days.

I did the Jag club slalom last year and will probably be there this year too. It's just a figure 8 that you do three laps on (a different variation each time). Really basic, that's how they can get by using that lot.

It's your own fault for being fast early on, John. :) If it wasn't for people like you, McCrary, Pilson, Doug, and Carpenter.......there probably woulnd't be what have currently in the ETR.

:)

Whether you guys know it or not, I alot(like 90% probably)of my success to you and Carpenter specifically. Pilson just made me go out and have fun and relax, and McCrary was the one that made me like RWD. :)
