Will, you should have gone to Nashville with us last weekend. That was the tightest course I have ever seen. When we were walking the course I was telling Brit, There is no way the vette will fit through there! I was very tempted to park mine and drive hers. Glad I didn't, as it was a great learning experience.

I may forget to send you up on your runs.Oberstwill wrote:Tight and technical.......Make it tough on the higher HP cars.........
We always complain about tight courses, and get told to shut up. Its a little different when the shoe is on the other foot, huh?
FWIW, I'd love to run up the hill again, but I'll be content with a FAIR course.
Was it tighter than the one we ran a couple of events ago with the severely offset start?Z06Fix wrote:Will, you should have gone to Nashville with us last weekend.

Agreed.thrdeye wrote:Oberstwill, be careful what you wish for. Most of the time, a tighter course really hurts low HP cars because they are unable to maintain momentum.
Gas, brake, gas, brake is great for HP cars.
Pelli is a really tough site, IMO. You lay down an element or two, then you gotta turn around or set up to run through the islands. If you set up the elements for the big cars, then those elements are barely manuevers for a lot of cars out there. If you make those folks actually turn, then you risk making a course that is too tight/busy.

true....I had had a few cervezas mas fina at that time, but for those of us who have cars then take 20+ seconds to reach sixty, those straights can take quite awhile to nibble up.........The last couple of events I have found 3rd gear thanks to my Veryonesque power on tap..........thrdeye wrote:Oberstwill, be careful what you wish for.

Does a nitrous boost keep my car stock?........

Doesn't look like your lack of grunt has hurt you that bad either:Oberstwill wrote: true....I had had a few cervezas mas fina at that time, but for those of us who have cars then take 20+ seconds to reach sixty, those straights can take quite awhile to nibble up.........The last couple of events I have found 3rd gear thanks to my Veryonesque power on tap..........

If you still feel you lack grunt, you can always grab one of these:

So, to summarize, you really have no excuses and just like to waste bandwith.
