Great course today! I think that fun was had by all. My best time was a 32.9. I did a 32.8, but I coned on that run. My first two runs were both 33.6's, and I improved with each run. I was fairly happy with how I ran, despite the fact that Pete ran a 32.6 and Kenny ran a 32.5 (in my car!).
I ended up hanging around for fun runs, and I'm glad that I did. I ended up doing six runs with Adam in the passenger seat, and he drove for two runs. He managed a 31.3 on his first run in my car. I was impressed not only with his driving, but also that the car was capable of such a time. Adam gave me some great driving and setup tips, and on my final fun run I managed a 32.2. I left with a smile on my face.
Long day though, time for
It's good to see that more of you are trying to make it out more often. I thought that Josh, Robert and Dan stepped up their game. Chau did great as well!

(after reading results) nothing personal here but how does someone that has two off course runs and one +1 run place higher than my all clean similiarly as fast runs? it doesn't really matter to me personally, i just don't understand how the scoring works.

You are rated on your best single runs.
I killed my last run, much like my second I got way to gready getting into the slalom, and had to stop. Happy with a 2nd though, best result to date.
Dan and Josh, you guys will keep getting better and better just need to come out again on the 7th.
Ben, that was close... Kenny, suck it!
Chau, nice driving. Did you rub it Chu's face the whole way home?
Most impressive time of the day = 34.595 <----Tokyo Drift

(before reading results) you did beat me on like two runs. i started over driving too much to try to beat you! you did very well for your first time.

Look at me, I was 8th in stinking PAX and last in my class. I say that with no offense to Kenny or Ben, they were on street tires and not nearly as prepped as the three local guys I judge myself against. I was talking to Simmonz and laughing that anywhere else in the country (almost) I would win the class and PAX probably. Here I am last, just goes to show you the talent pool in Philly region. There are some serious drivers around here with a lot of knowledge. Prior to running autox I had not a clue how set up a car or drive one (on an autox course). I learned everything from instructors riding with me and friends/competitors on how to set up my car. Everything, the motor, suspension, how I drive the course was learned / mimicked.
It is really cool that all you guys are getting into it (at what ever level). Events are so much more fun when you have someone to compete against that is as good or better than you, more people the better in fact. Without a doubt if you guys keep at it you will be right there in the top PAX spots. Evos are a great platform for Autox, if you can learn to drive it they are pretty hard to beat.
Funny you mention this. Ben actually BEAT the subaru GC impreza coupe race car from canada. Then the guy ratted him out for no cage and they dq'd ben so the gc could race another non caged subaru that went faster then 11.5 on 2 or more occasions. That day was messed up on so many levels. It was basically a final round dq for no cage after he already won lol
Ben did good, I believe the last run I got was a 10.712. Maybe a slightly better launch and that GC wouldnt have taken it at the end, but hell, he still drives better than me lol.
Ben, I'll try to email you that video later tomorrow when I upload everything.
I took about 200 Pictures, and like 2 horus of video footage, so if you ran your evo then give me some info + time and I will go through and get the video of it.
I love how the subarus were getting their dial ins right, but the damn evo's were a lot faster than we expected haha. That took its toll on us.
P.S. to anyone who isnt aware who i am still, i was in that ballin a$$ Hyundai Entourage Minivan. I ran a 7.60 flat.. lol.
Gah, all those gorgeous eb0's and mine wasn't there amongst them
It saddened me..
and that wrecked IX, there was also a white cobalt involved, I believe the cobalt probably did something stupid and the IX driver lost control and got onto the other side of the ramp, slammed into that pole(ripping is suspensiona nd crap off) and yeah..
I remember an asian guy standing next to it when I was driving off the ramp and saw it. I was chasing a gorgeous black X in my minivan lol.

Good job Chau. Dont forget to have lots of instructors. You'll be besting pete in no time :P
This is certainly a thinking sport.
Awesome ben! It was fun beating you, but also I knew there was lots left out there. Hopefully I'll have my car together for the 7th.
I wouldn't dare drink the water here
Pete, its so much fun beating you, i think im gonna do it every event!
Good job Chau. Dont forget to have lots of instructors. You'll be besting pete in no time :P
No offense taken. Thanks for all the discussion yesterday. Even if your advice is wrong, it generates ideas This is certainly a thinking sport.

This is certainly a thinking sport.Seriously though, nice driving.
It is your best run. Basically if you hit a cone, it is a 2 second penalty. So you will see a time listed with a plus 1 or plus 2. So if you hit a cone on a run it is basically toast. Simple as that, best time wins regardless of how many suck runs you had before.
