autox yesterday
« on: April 11, 2005, 06:59:55 pm »
8 runs by 4pm, just before it began sprinkling =).

This time I beat the rsx-s but on the 7th run an itr (k20a2 rsx s engine swap I think) beat me by .02 sec.  I went .4 sec faster on run 8 but coned 1 oh well.

There were a number of spectators/newbs from the car show; I gave 2 guys and a girl a ride.  Spun when the girl was riding, despite vcmc pres telling me not to (since I spun on a prior run).  Oops!

what a fun inaugural event for using scca classes; 8 runs by ~4:30 and sm was a blast w/ various cars! Exciting competition as well: an rsx-s edged me out by ~.06 sec right after my last/best lap http://www.vcmc.ca/raceresults/results/2005/mar_13_cpe1/R.TXT

practice events are great since ridealongs are allowed; 4 newbies (2 femmes) and 3 veterans rode shotgun and i jumped in 2 cars as well.

big turnout of 90+ drivers for the 1st novice tour event but 5 runs by 5pm is decent

Wow 90 drivers.  :shock:   Good for spectating, not so good for running.  Anything interesting show up?
