I give the event a 9.5 and the course a 9.0 ! :mrgreen:

I thought the course was great,with the exception of the mandated salom going into the finish turn.. the forced tight entry made it painful to exit .. but still much fun!
And I knew that cone was gonna get me... :lol:

Job well done Mr. Chair! :rockon:

The hump was interesting, i hopped through there a couple times, just couldn't put the finish together. Atleast i know it was me, thanks for beating me in my own car Bob, atleast i know the car can be fast, while cording 3 tires

Thanks Ryan for letting me help with the bottom, I liked making that downhill slolom "painful" :wink: ..................I actually liked going on that side of the pole again, and it actually worked out better than I thought even with 400+ tires on the car. The only tricky part for me was being able to stay flat footed down the hill into the slalom as my spin out showed that one time.................. :oops:

Had a great time! First event as an official ETR member! Wish you could've driven my car Bob. I'll try to get a slider on my seat for next time. The course was fun. I didn't mind the hump and I finally had the cajones to flat foot down the hill into the Chicago box on my last 2 runs. Now I just hope this sunburn heals up before Bristol

Thought I'd share my spreadsheet. I'm keeping track also. I'm going to have to drive a little more consistent If I hope to be anywhere near the top.

Thanks for even sayingI could co drive with you. After the seat check I knew the car had BALLS,but did not feel secure in the seat and did not want to send you home on roll back at my cost.I think not seeing the corners was what sealed the deal. Tell the old man to heal up and get back to racing.Thanks.

I had a blast once I got the car running right. The new tire stick like glue. It will take me a few events before I find the limit of them. Chad
