I'm stressed because Armstrong V. and his s2000 are in 2x with me. He's leading s2000 class in NTAXS; I'm second in class 2. Should be very close - last event he was .08 faster than me.
KenO's on race tires so that's up to you and Kent, Jeremy.

Crap.
I think my alternator is failing. I hope I can get one tomorrow or I'm going to have to miss this. Hopefully Kevin has one laying around.

What do you mean dunno?
Kent and I only did 4 runs each in the morning. The afternoon heat and porsche fumes took their tool so we cut out without aftetnoon runs.
So if you only count everyones first four runs, I set FTD. Ken O put down a faster run in the afternoon and maybe an unnamed Lotus driver as well though Im not certain.
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.
Not that Im that great of a driver - but rather the car is really dialed in and tuned by the best.

Either way we'll never know and these events are a set of morning and afternoon runs so we'll just have to hypothesize. BTW I drove to the event on my dead 2 year old scrub R comps with about 105 runs, four track sessions and 300 street miles on them ran 14 runs and drove back home on em, not ideal but not too shabby and definitely not a good measuring stick to check times against. I do agree your car is fast, fun and silly easy to drive but let's not get carried away here mr future Scca nationals SM class killer.

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.

We only got 7 because someone lost control and hit that black chainlink fence. It took a couple house to get that all sorted out. So it went like this: run group A (us) ran 4 morning runs, then bc of the accident and hold up, run group b did all 7 of their runs immediately after getting the car off the fence. During this time I stood in the sun for something like 2-2.5hrs. Still, I'd rather have a sunburn than a bent up car so I can't complain.
Classing: anything without a 1, 2, 3 X or R is a Porsche class - it's too confusing, don't worry about it until you get a Porsche. Other than that it's the same as NTAXS, but the "X" means street tires and "R" is race. You would be in 2x with me for example. Jeremy and Kent were 2r. Kan was in 3r because he drives an Elise on race tires.
