I think my brain is still melted on the tarmac at Pelli, somewhere... Wait, my mistake, it evaporated hours ago.
Fun event, great course! Just wish I was able to tackle it in my own car. Watching some of my vids, the 09 WRX wiggles through the slaloms much better than it felt, as I was 1' off the cones in some places uphill. Looking forward to the next one, and hopefully am much cooler day!
Videos coming later... I want to see the results online to add times and such.

I would have liked to make it, but it was just too hot.

loved the course .. there were several places that if you set it up correctly you could really hammer the next "straight-away" ..
'course that could lead to a huge screw up .... I'm living proof ... but still great
IMO it's pretty neat that we can run at one place as much as we do and designers can still come up new and different/unusual courses ... lots of imagination at work here

Thanks to Lin and John and Pilson and JWOW and everyone else that helped out for stepping up and making sure we had a good event. Our core of people is fantastic at making sure people have a good time, whether it is putting on local events or coordinating things for the travel group.
I try not to take that for granted. Thanks again...

Great event! I liked the course too.
Here's my run from today:

Should of been more aggressive, but I feel like I've made some improvement.

Another +1 to a fun course. I'm definitely at least lightly toasted from being outside all day, but it didn't keep me from enjoying it.
See y'all at the next one.

Re: July 8th Pilli event was hott!!
I too also had a blast even with the heat... Having been without a running car since 2007, and out of ETR area since 2004, it was super nice coming back to ETR and the super nice guys.. Always loved racing with ETR....
Now, on another side note, i was told me being in STS is a no-go... Guess a rule change 2 yrs ago... Anyway, ive been cruising the SCCA site and can't seem to find a list of cars other than an H-Stock class for my car which im sure im classed out since im not stock... If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.. Im getting magnets made and need to get my class locked down before i do so.. Thanks for a great day guys, see you in a couple week...

I was glad to be able to get a shot at putting a course together with a different look and I'm glad that most seemed to enjoy it. I thought the long slalom downhill was great, after I got my car settled down after the first run.
I was also glad we got finished when we did. By the time we left, I was completely cooked.

After watching Marcus' video I really wish I would have dragged my lazy arse out of the a/c and joined everyone today. I really like the different course configuration/trailer location.
