Looks like everything had a great time and a great course. I had to make a sacrifice and miss the AutoX today since I was over at Thunderhill doing my first Track day! Soooo much fun!

Karlton, great run! I just watched your video.

I don't usually say this, but damn, this was a power course!

Power to weight was a big, big help today. Also being a little small on the car size helped with going flat through the gates.

I ran 41.6 in T2 and 40.9xx in my Fun6 Runs with International B in the car. So might've been around a 40.5 without him and if I wasn't so damn sloppy and rusty my could've broke into the 39's.

I was off my marks when came to turn in points and just over all steering timing. Slaloms weren't an issue cause they hardly existed, and the ones that were there were SUPER spaced out, so I was practically flat.

Hmmm... I really thought it was the opposite. I figured that the lower powered cars would have an advantage. I figured that through the slaloms and stuff, I could keep my foot to the floor and it wasn't going to be an issue. Probably something that some of the faster cars couldn't do.

Those cones were far apart, I can't usually fly through a slalom flat, but could yesterday.

How about that first set of slaloms? How did you take that first right near the fence? I think I could of made up some time there.

FWIW, 42.6, 41.1 (clean), 41.1 (not clean). Both of those 41.1s were with BAD braking mistakes (i.e. braking too late) at the back corners of the lot (after the northbound slalom, after the back straight). Easy low 40.x or high 39.x in the car, not in the driver yesterday

In the Integra, the entire back straight = no lifting at all. Same with that northbound slalom. I'm getting more trust in the Dunlops, not quite there yet.
