I would have loved a couple more runs at that course! Here is my 37.9 run..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wbrO_KJoKg

Sort of the opposite of what I think I remember doing somewhere else on 7/2

Nice job CDC! The winchester lot is a blast w/ the all the off-camber stuff and great grip. Good course too, LB.

I'm sure you'll get tons of offers now

More please....it makes me happy when you get cocky.

Me too. No question.

and yeah, he is running it, i think most of the cobra guys are. Some of us can't afford that fancy-pants stuff. ;) I run the stock fox-body mustang pump/rack. DIRT cheap at any autoparts store. The electric setup is pretty sweet though. I think Larry is using a KRC pump? Ben has Fred's setup.

How fast is Winchester? Its hard to justify when Susq. SCCA is running at Hershey (which is HUGE ) and isn't much further than Winchester for most. Its probably closer for some of the Frederick guys. Here's a vid from a typical course last year (sorry for the crappy quality)...... http://www.youtub...

The winchester lot is a blast...one of my favorite CDC locations. :mrgreen: I don't like the idea of a making it a TNT. You could keep it a scored event and still give more runs for more $$. Maybe $5-10 more entry fee and 8 runs instead of 6? We members might also be able to bump up attendance by ta...

Travis-

Based on the weather forecast, I was initially thinking I had made the wrong choice of cars, and was wishing I brought the miata instead. Those thoughts were gone on the first lap of the coursewalk.

I can't believe I coned away a 36...shoot me. It was a fun day despite the heat and brief downpour. Adam and I made it with about 3 miles from home before the skies OPENED up and dumped buckets on us. At least the rain was cold and felt good after cooking on 66. I really liked the initial loop, the ...

Did Fred make you post that?

Agreed! Thanks guys.

Anyone looking to purchase a gently used EVO? Fun event, evo is done for the season already, going to be in small bore for the rest of the season. Drake- what was the outcome of that launch? I heard you bang the limiter a couple times in rapid succession....then silence....then being pushed back to...

Nice pics Hokie! Thanks for sharing.

Here's a vid of my 38.008. I wanted a 37 *SO* bad. Note the difference between my reaction and my son Adam's reaction when we saw the time display. LMAO

No sausage love for Ed?

Fred made me post this. His horn blowing and commentary is included for your enjoyment. ;) Oh, and the first words out of my son's mouth..."we didn't do it". LOL Sunday's finish was just long enough, such that the point where my car makes enough boost to blow the tires away happened to be ...

I paid Mike to lose the card. (thanks Mike)

FYI - $100 Amex card from Bridgestone right now if you buy 4 qualified tires from Tire Rack. RE11's included!

haha...I know which run you're talking about. Your car was plowing on the uphill side of the "loop". As soon as you lifted going into the downhill gates, the front end bit hard and you were along for the ride (as were a few cones..haha).

Sorry I missed the fun runs! The afternoon weather was perfect.

Yesterday's event was a good argument for prepayment with registration. Put the risk of weather on the participants...not on CDC. I imagine it's difficult to make the numbers work when 1/3 of the registrants don't show up.

I had a blast mixing it up in small bore! Kinda wish it hadn't dried out though....I was sitting pretty for a while.

You guys are wrong...he was asking me.

I'm ready! Can't wait.

Hey all. I wanted to give a quick "thanks" to the folks I spoke with on the 19th. I was the guy in the Fire/Rescue buggy, parked by the entrance. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it down on Sunday but I would like to catch the next event. /dave I'm just glad you didn't need therapy aft...

Here's my best....
