Points Event #3

[ZX3Focus]

+1 for the excellent course design. The last course I ran left my novice skills feeling thoroughly pwned, while I felt like I had a chance this time.

[Jedi1]

What about the people that "think" they are a novice but in reality are so not. cough Camaro cough. There were a few others as well. Nice job from the new folks yesterday even if they were confused as to what class they should run in.

[Jamie Holladay]

When folks get registered we need to tell them EXACTLY what their class is and TECH needs to remind them to get the numbers on the car. Just my .02¢

Exactly. Drew does a good job with that when he does tech. He was out so that might have been part of the problem

[TouringBubble]

There was obviously some confusion. I did my best to tell the new drivers about their class and what needed to be on the car, including the N designation.

In the first group, I thought some people weren't registered correctly ... maybe the wrong numbers. I found that the N was the issue after 2 cars didn't show up in timing. After lunch, the problem was that every new registration entry had deleted itself. I had to manually add them all back in after the event.

[JohnW8]

It really wasn't a bad problem it just added confusion when calling in car numbers and registration not having a matching number to use. No biggie.

[EvoLady]

my appologies on the N not being on the novice cars. that seemed to have slipped my mind in the morning. will do better next event.

[Cholewa]

I would like to reiterate the FACT, that Clay McCool cheats. and that I beat Sean Yoder AND Chris Warren.

[ExplosEvo]

Seriously, can you guys just lie and say the course really sucked. After reading these posts im kinda pissed that I couldnt be there. Oh well, I'll be back next month and I just took delivery of a set of HKS coilovers for the Evo. Novice class watch out!

[chuck schultz]

The only thing that sucked in any way was the lack of turnout. For a couple years, it seems like we were getting around a hundred entries for most events. Maybe there were competing events, and maybe there were folks worried about Talladega traffic (turned out not to be a problem,) but I've learned to expect at least 50% more folks, so we could run three groups.

It was cool to get in six runs plus fun runs and be home in time to mow the lawn.

Great event and great course! I had a great time and would like to thank Hannah for riding with me on my last run which would've been fast enough for a CSP win but alas this day it was not...AlanBranch is the new CSP Marshal.

I'll get you next month, you and you're little whizzin' ebay car too!

Just kiddin' CSP is sucha blast because we're always a 10th or 2 apart. Last month I had FTD this month I was 5th. Sheesh!

Oh contraire. Apparently I'm bringing up the rear of CSP. Can anyone tell me where the CSP 2 car was DNF'n? I'll dig myself in a bit deaper and say that I thought the course was great fun and easy to read and that I have no idea where I was missing. Several mentors were watching my three runs and no one noticed DNF's from the side lines. I'm just finding it hard to believe and hard to let down everyone who helped me upgrade the car this season. Any input is greatly appreciated.

That was the best course I can remember. It was open enough that I didn't hit a single cone all day, and our worker station only had 2 down all day. We still seemed to keep within the speed "limit" too. I'm sure some of the more "technical" people may disagree with me.

[zukitek]

I LOVED the course .It was open to multiple line choices .It wasnt so confining that you couldnt try differant things but it wasnt so open that you could just floor it either .Hats off to the whole setup crew and those who staffed the day .

I had to bail right at the end of runs because I needed to give Matt (my 15 year old son)his first driving lesson in a car .I dont know who enjoyed that more ...me or him .

[EWaugh]

First driving lesson and enjoy don't usually go togeather...

[aufoxy]

+1 on awesome course design!!!

[VroomGrrl]

You slacker ...you better finish that moving crap and get back out to the lot.There were 3 or more BSP cars there today .We were missing you and your Porsche.

RR

Believe me, I will be back out there as soon as I can. This craziness has GOT to have an end! And hey like I need more BSP competition. Well I'm --> N <--- BSP this season I think the best I can hope for is to be back out in June. Fingers crossed! I'm glad everybody had a great day - can't wait to see the results!
