The reason he's not posting now is he's took his female co-driver back to his bachelor pad and he is currently showing her his big, shiny trophy.

Hahaha. I did so horrible today. I hit cones in the same area for all my runs. Haha. My best time was a 45.2xx + cones, or something. I got my time down into the 44's.

for those that do this all the time, what did you think of the cones setup today? i thought it was a bit strange, wasn't it? i thought very few cars did good especially at the end.

Hehe. The course was interesting. It is straight forward but difficult to go fast on. The back side slalom was hard to do. The last left turn coming toward the lights was kind of tricky, too. Just got to keep looking ahead.

The course was as always, fast upto a point but punishing if you went into corners too hot.
With .2 of a second separating the winner it's a fine line between keeping tidy to avoid cones and going too slow..

i was actually surprised that i did not see many people i recognized. i saw keving and gagan and said hi to them. i saw the british guys and said hi to them but they did not hear me... that's ok.
anyhow, i walked around and took pictures with my wide angle lens of many cars. i will post the images tomorrow once i get them from costco. i shot with film this time and had them scanned. will see the results.

I owe you a hot-dog for the last pictures you took

They got Charlie's results wrong in STS, as he hit a TON of cones on his last run (hint : think two hands worth
) and somehow the trailer didn't write down any of them!
I got into the 41's twice on scratch, the "other" was my red-flagged (after the finish) run where the course workers could have been a bit more heads up! See video, and yes hitting a GT2 would have just ruined my whole day

the course was very tricky, as everyone said... you had to be precise... but for me i thought everyone was trying to go into the faster parts too fast thinking thats where time was being made up, my fastest run i gave up a little in the kink and actually the first slalom too... watching my vid I saw where i left ALOT of time out there... cliff and and all the other asian drivers in his car felt there was an easy 40 out there
plus i dont remember that back kink being soo tight when i walked it
