I made a very brief appearance today, just to pick up my chair that I forgot from the last event. Spent most of the day with a chainsaw and hedge trimmer, jumping in the pool every hour or so to prevent from bursting into flames. You guys were all down at the far end of the lot driving around in what looked like a directionally challenged parade. ---

_ding_ round 2! I’ll probably only be staying for 3 runs. Lots of wedding/honeymoon stuff to get done before Friday. :tdown: ---

I went to the BMW event down at MCC today… got in 6 runs, and we were done and out by 2:30. Which was good because the rain set in at 3:30ish. In the end I had the 8th fastest time of the day, and either 1st or 2nd in Porsche class. ---

That doesn’t suck, it makes you get faster! Although I admit it is definitely a daunting task keeping up with his setup and driving, especially without slicks. ---

Holy cow… that’s a lot of off courses! Edit: Just did some quick counting… 44/80 people went off course at least once… 55% of the drivers! And what’s with so many DNF’s too? Like the last two people in Novice? ---

DNF = my vengeance against those that don’t report for work assignments. For each run you must report for one work assignment. For each missed work assignment, you loose your fastest run. If you are not sure how many you have, just ask the worker chief. The event can’t run if people don’t do their part. 🙂 ---

The course had the same ‘odd’ crossover as the afternoon novices course. It bit a lot of people in the ass at one time or another (including myself). This was really a course where you needed to pick a few key things to remember, look ahead, and then you were all good. ---
