The portion of the event you are talking about was for the overall champion and the extra team bonus points. The first three runs are what counted toward the trophy that I received (it was your fastest raw time from the first three runs and not heads up portion that counted). My fastest run was 12.8x, rolling off the line for fear of breaking the drivetrain. That is the time that got me the third place trophy for the drag portion. Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

 

Scoring was not based on raw time, it was based on eliminations. The first place trophy went to an STI that ran a best of 13.1, and I ran him in the import finals. The 2nd place trophy went to the domestic, which was slower than you, and you got the 3rd place trophy.

IF it had been scored off of raw time, the silver EVO 8 would have taken 1st, you would have taken 2nd, and the red car would have been 3rd. The drag scoring somehow was all screwed up. There are people that took home trophies that were slowest in class AND were knocked out in eliminations. The yellow Porsche lost to the turbo Vette in the finals, had quick ET and lost his trophy to the Noble...who didn't place at all. I hope that clears up any confusion. I'm not sweatin it...hang it on the wall. I accomplished what I wanted to for the day.

It was good meeting you.

 

Actually, Trevor is correct. The best ET of your first three passes is what counted towards your personal points and personal win. The winner of the overall in the class won the overall big blue drag trophy, this was the heads up portion that got down to one import and one domestic, it also gave either the import or domestic team 5 points depending on who won.

The event was a little unorganized this year, like the gate being locked for 2 hours in the morning and my cone that I didn't hit.

Oh well, it's for the kids, still a great time.

 

If this is so, then I think Trevor was entitled to a 2nd place trophy in B class, not 3rd. And some poor guy ran quick ET and went home with nothing...along with other people in other classes. Its all good and I could be mistaken anyway Like you said...it was for the kids. I was glad to be a part of it.

 

Yeah, I thought I had placed 2nd...but also didn't stir the pot I didn't realize that it was that messed up. You are both right in that the kids were the important part

It was nice meeting you as well

 

Dave thank you man it was a great time

I have the video finished of the X in action.

Looks like the car was hooked up!
David you prob just SCARED the cone off its mark..lol

 

I think Dave was screwed.... I never seen him hit a cone.

 

Thanks for putting together the video, I really appreciate it. I watched the video pretty closely, I am going to stand by my statement that I was screwed, I still say I never hit a cone. Oh well. Can't have some guy with 1 autocross under his belt get 2nd place

What happened to my 12.6 passes Jeff? Did you leave early? I ran a 12.62 and a 12.61. I started to think I could drive again! haha

 

Man car looks smooth running through the coarse. Definitely looks like a good time..

 

I have the footage I took.

 

I missed the 12.61, I hadnt left yet, I think I was in the restroom?

fyi man... I think you drive very good, you still have it in ya!

 

I watched every run and I didn't see you hit a cone, but I was also watching the AMS car at the same time. Maybe they meant to turn his cones in and they marked you for it. What was the quickest time in A class? Also what did the AMS car run in the 1/4?

 

sounds good man

 

Drag what were you driving and did you ever go head to head with Trevor. I have him on video making serveral passes on the drag strip I still have to post up.
