Re: Last Event
It was fun going in a full steame.. making sure I got far enuff to the right.. having to wait so long to power back on.. not so much.
Now the finish turn.. was a HOOT (with500hpontap) LOL!

Re: Last Event
The finish was the only part I never got right I think if I could have gotten it right I would have been 3-4 tenths faster... It was just wait wait wait now go.......lol

Re: Last Event
For me, it was get on the brakes, get the rear to step out a bit, BACK ON IT! Getting that right on my 4th run was almost magical.John Brown wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2017 9:29 am It was fun going in a full steame.. making sure I got far enuff to the right.. having to wait so long to power back on.. not so much.

No turnarounds are great in my car, but the finish was painful.

Re: Last Event
My opinion on elements like where you have to wait on the car for so long is that is that I like to see a big reward for getting it right. The finish did that, but the lefty pinch which went right into another slow element kind of kills that feeling

I would have liked to run that course. Life gets in the way.
Hey Boito, any noticable bumps or other annoyances? I know you and the kart weren't having a good day.

Re: Last Event
I thought we referencing the lefty into the little slalomy thing near the right side of the lot. I loved that part
If we are talking about the turnaround before the turnaround at the finish, yeah, I hated that. LOL. I was counting that as "finish".

Re: Last Event
I thought the finish would have been faster for my car and I saw 57 mph was the fastest.

Re: Last Event
It's been fun trying to keep up with you all year long Dave. Congrats again on the class championship! But I'll be back next year with a leaner and more well tuned beast.

Congrats to Jim Thomas on a great finish yesterday too. We've pushed each other all year long and had some back and forth battles and yesterday was no exception. It's been a lot of fun for sure.
