Who’s going? Course Map already posted: [http://www.wny-scca.com/modules.php?set\_albumName=SeAD\_map6-21&id=SEAD\_July\_9\_06&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view\_photo.php](http://www.wny-scca.com/modules.php?set_albumName=SeAD_map6-21&id=SEAD_July_9_06&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php) Looks like it will be a good time. First time for the civic there, so I will be interested to see how it handles. ---

If I read that map correctly, I’m figuring on not lifting until the first slalom. That concrete section ought to be a neck-strainer as well. I’m looking forward to it. 🙂 ---

I’ll have to see it in person to get a better perspective on scale, but I think I’ll be going way too fast long before I get to the slalom. ---

If anybody else wants to cruise out from Rochester, a few of us will be meeting up at Dunkin Donuts on East Ave (between culver and winton) around (edit) **6:15 AM** – leaving by 6:30. ---

no go for me…need to conserve tires to hopefully have enough rubber for divisionals. Replacing some bushings as well that are worn. ---

Booo… this event and the next one are practice for Divisionals as far as I’m concerned. If I end up needing new tires for Divs, then I’ll get them. Right now, it doesn’t look like I’ll need them, but we’ll see after next weekend. ---

Damn damn DAMN!!! The video from my last run didn’t turn out, it cut to just audio partway through the run, it was outside the car and would have given a great view of my huge spin off into the weeds. Instead I have a vid from inside of my fastest (not clean) run. 69.2+1. [http://www.emkayusa.com/videos/SGP1\_Run3.wmv](http://www.emkayusa.com/videos/SGP1_Run3.wmv) ---

I forgot my cam altogether. That’s ok, because no one wanted to see my crappy runs anyway. I am still trying to figure out the new tires, and my steering rack has got to go. 4 turns lock-to-lock?!!! Time for an Si rack. Marnie - the pleasure was all mine. Find me next week and I’ll take you for a spin (literally) in the beast. ---

Good job Bret. I sucked pretty good. My first 2 runs were ok, but had cones, my 3rd run I had to slow down to go clean, and my 4th run I got suckered into giving the 300lb food guy a ride… no way that helped 🙂 . I hope my tires aren’t totally past prime, each run was slower then the one before it, but that could also be becuase I was trying to get a clean run in, and then gorilla man :-). DO NOT EVER GIVE THE FOOD GUY AT SEAD A RIDE. He is huge, and even worse, he yells and talks to you while you are driving, and is really freaking distracting.
