First, let me thank the timing crew today for helping me through today without killing myself: Andrea, Mike T, Elvin, and Mike O. (Don’t worry, I fixed the scanner) Today can be summed up by one word - Trifecta! I hit it. Anyone else?

I was sitting by the starting line and watched course workers run across that first straight just as you turn left out of the gate. They didn’t even look and interrupted runs. This happened a couple of times while I was sitting there. Were these noobs or is the whole safety part of this event going to hell ? ---

The course was totally tits. > [@sureshot007](#): > > Today can be summed up by one word - Trifecta! I hit it. Anyone else? I said fuck it and went for the 6 extra seconds twice, and a third time I just went left of them. All due to paying to much attention to the sweeper. > [@JUICEDSS](#): > > Were these noobs or is the whole safety part of this event going to hell ? There were so many fucking people I wanted to strangle today. The woman that pulled up with no helmet, pulled a time of like 1XX.xx and almost got rear ended (sans red flagging of the three cars that were behind her). **Or even better the absolute fucking retard that went the wrong way on course.** I don’t think Andy minded getting an extra run out of it… There were more, that was the most blatant of them. It is too bad we don’t hold some sort of orientation for new people, maybe dedicate a whole day to it, perhaps before the start of the season. ---

This happened a couple of times while I was sitting there. Were these noobs or is the whole safety part of this event going to hell ? When I was standing there, I was having to yell at people constantly for stepping out without looking. It wasn’t just noobs, they were experienced people too. We could have used three saftey stewards at the event, because I was getting sick of being left out there and missing my run group. I also liked the time when I was yelling red flag at the one worker station, they finally got the flags out after the FIFTH TIME I yelled it. (Into the radio, too, I might add). That was also some experienced people. It’s tough out there when you are starting the cars probably 15-20 seconds apart. (Not my choice, BTW, Dale always insists on it when we run there). > [@sureshot007](#): > > Today can be summed up by one word - Trifecta! I hit it. Anyone else? I did the unthinkable and had no cones on six runs today with every run faster than the previous one. No damned Kenny cones for me to hit this time. ---

I had a great time pounding on the course today… It was my first event in nearly a year. The MR2 was amazing and WAY more nimble than the ol’ Beretta. Thanks to all the guys(and gals) that allowed us to sneak in 6 full runs and fun runs after. ---

it was def a fun fun fun course… I swear that the trifecta was moved mid-day… I either wasn’t paying attetion on my first run or two, or it moved in about 4 feet because it seemed tighter when I ran my later runs… It was fun making the dub squeal and work it’s hardest… My biggest accomplishment was to get below my goal of 70 seconds (Remember folks it’s a 30 year old VW). It was also getting the dub to NCC and back without anything breaking or falling off… I’ve put 100 miles on it and it’s run like a champ. ---

> [@73ghia](#): > > I either wasn’t paying attetion on my first run or two, or it moved in about 4 feet because it seemed tighter when I ran my later runs… It just mean you were exiting the sweeper faster and not accounting for it, thus it was coming up quicker. > [@73ghia](#): > > My biggest accomplishment was to get below my goal of 70 seconds (Remember folks it’s a 30 year old VW).
