For the open classes…yesterdy I won the 1st event…2nd in the 2nd event. Ernie won the 2nd event. Today I won 1st in both events and took FTD in event 2. Should of been FTD in both events today because run 1 in the 1st even was supposed to be dismissed because we had to change the track configuration. The remaining 5 runs were the only runs that were supposed to count towards the standings. After the change I ran the fastest overall including the vette classes in both events. They still gave the FTD in event 1 to one of the vettes for his run that should of been tossed. So overall I won 3 out of 4 events…and 2nd in 1 event…and FTD today. ---

So we had to put in a slalom to slow the cars down so we could atleast finish out the day. Here’s one of my favorite pics of the weekend… ---

Hopefully. The Trivette’s are voting yay or nay on June 12th pending the cost of paving the track and how much our group can raise/donate. ---

I only have springs and bald ass street tires. We were very competitive the first day. My overall fastest time (1:14.398) was faster than Jeremiah’s overall fastest time (1:14.577), but that only fell within one event. The other event I didn’t have a quick enough time to beat him with. The second day was a totally different animal. We both were able to make a run before the slalom was instated and Jeremiah’s run was fastest yet (1:13.3xx I believe?) and I hit a 1:15.105. If we had the straightaway all day, there is a chance I would have dipped into the 1:13’s but 1:13.3 is fast. No question about it. I definitely learned a new driving experience on the Rcomps. They were amazing. Not only could I take corners faster and the turn-in was more responsive, but the braking distances were cut wayyyy down. With the Hawk pads & Powerslots, I experimented each lap with pushing the car later and later at the three braking points on the track. I definitely know there is room for improvement. I hope to get Works springs and the Whiteline RCK and an aggressive autocross alignment thats still good for my street tires and we will see what happens in the fall. Since we all pitched in setting up, and also with the 6-7 of us who hung around after cleanup to see how we could help ensure the fall event, the club agreed to hold the fall event which they believe is September 15th (Miah correct me if I’m misquoting) If anyone knows of any QUALITY paving establishments that would be willing to travel to Edinburg to issue a quote to repair the damaged portion of the track, please let Jeremiah know. He took charge of helping get a quote or three so we can get the best job for the least money without having the same issue again in a year or two. ---

If Jeremiah was driving the evo and Ernie was driving the s2k, Jeremiah would have massacred him. Ernie seriously needs r-comps and 300+hp on his technologically advanced evo x to keep up with a s2000 with springs? 🤣rofl ---

Evo’s shine more in time attack type of events. My car kisses the damn pavement. If I can get it to stay flat (springs and kit) then my times will increase.
