127 drivers, nice! How many runs did you fit in and when did you finish? Nice course

Thanks guys for posting vids of your runs! Helps to see what lines you guys are driving and where some time can be made up.

Agreed. I see a few spots that I didn't push as hard as I should have. Stephen, do you have any of your vids posted online? Here's my fourth run... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL_Vtcx1Ww4

This event was super fun and I can't wait for Smokies Stadium!

I haven't had a chance to edit down my raw video yet but hopefully tonight I will and I'll post up a link.

I agree I think the course was a lot of fun!

Mark,

Eyeballing the time marker on the video of you driving my car, you lost about three seconds when you got sideways at the top of the hill, didn't go as fast as you could have down the chute (3dB less noise at sound than I) and still turned a 53.1 on cold tires. My best time was 51.6. I still have a ways to go on driver development. But other than tire pressures and maybe tweaking front camber, I don't think I need to make changes in the setup. I 'just' need to learn to drive it better.

Got some learning to do in the car for sure. I always thought I had the shoot down pretty good in my car but with more power I'm not near as brave as I once was. My runs were extremely inconsistent but it'll get better as the season progresses. If only some of you street guys would sell those 15s. I'm gonna have to flip these R1Rs for Smokey or I'll be on cords.

Agreed. I think the setup is probably pretty close and the most time would be gained by driver development. It was a little unpredictable to me but I'm sure that is because I had just make 3 runs in Jeff's car and, other than the Mustang badge, they are completely different animals.

Very true. I think running on street tires last year has made me timid. The car is still a bit scary on Hoosiers. I need more tire but it was a fun course.

I cant imagine how out of Region folks feel,coming here for the first time... and trying to go as fast as the fast guys do..

I bet they think we are CRAZY!! especially on the downhill run.

He was my measuring stick Chris. After run 2 I felt pretty good about where I was. After run 3 he and the rest of class pretty much checked out and I fell flat.
I've gotta lot of improving to do in order to keep a trophy home for ETR.

Pro was crazy this event. Top 4 pretty much have a 100 point event. If things continue this way, pro could almost boil down to a single flyer run later in the year.
