Sometimes 10 runs, sometimes only 8. This time just 7. But there are the Porsche classes 1 through 7 then the 3 classes like NTAX.

Sure man. You have to come out though. Next event this weekend. SCCA bus lot.

No doubt you did well given the circumstances of the tires. You should know I think of you as a good driver and trust your abilities to have let you codrive my car at two events last year. To be honest, I thought you were going to drop in to the 49s this Sunday so that should give you an insite in to how I consider your capabilities and your car.

I do believe my car is an SM class killer in at least the regional level. I've done a lot of work to it this year and I've seen it in the hands of drivers more capable than myself and watched it place first in PAX by almost half a second. As for nationals, yeah it might be out gunned. But that's another story. I said I was nationals bound.. not bound to win nationals.
My car didn't have a 49 in it, there just wasn't enough grip to take advantage of the momentum sections where the car shines. Thomas ran a raw 50.4 but picked up a few cones in the long slalom.

Your car is definitely fast, it was fast when I drove it last year (thanks again BTW) and I'm sure it's faster now with the changes you made. All I was saying is making a FTD proclamation by over 1 second is a pretty bold claim. Your signature made it sound like you were going to clean up at nationals and that is a VERY tough crowd but I'm sure you'll do well and wish you the best of luck though.

But Im confident in saying, and I hope I may do so without sounding boastful, that had I run in the afternoon as well, I would have taken FTD back by no less than one full second. I say this based on previos event results.
Wow the internet has some fun little places to play. I didn't know I was so well loved.

Ok, I'll be your Huckleberry. Hmmm, taken FTD back by a second. I don't know about that one and I guess we will never know. But I seem to recall the event one week later at TMS. You were right it was by a second but in the opposite direction.

Carry on.

Just 'cause I'm out to beat you doesn't mean I don't love ya!

Yeah, I seem to recall I was on the wrong side of that 1 second lead last event. I'll withhold my excuses and focus on self improvement. Next time, right?

As for the one second lead I was gunning for and referring to a few weeks ago, I was just hoping to replicate the previous NTAX event raw time gap between us http://www.s2000.org/nts2koc/autox/2012_0512.htm -- only without the cone.
