are raw times counted? i remember Bryan getting a 48.24 in his miata on one of his morning runs but shagged a cone. i remember because i saw him hit the cone in the middle of the run and then heard the time and couldnt believe he was just .01 seconds off my time. unless he got 48.24 in one of his afternoon runs?

anyways, had fun at the event. good to see a slightly different course. maybe you guys can squeeze in a small slalom at the last event in Bowie?

Hitting a cone is a 2 second penalty. I'm glad you liked the course. I also like slaloms (and skid pads) the best!

Brian had a clean 48.24 in the afternoon.

I was stuck in 48.5x purgatory. 4 of my 5 runs in the afternoon were in the 48.5's. I tried different lines but the times came out to be the same. Oh well.

The course was fun especially for just a small lot.

This really was a fun course. I was prepared to not like it because it had so many incredibly tight turns but was pleasantly surprised to find some very nice sweepers hidden away. Very nice course, Joe. thanks

I liked the course as well, really showed the flaws in my cars' bad understeer, but more importantly my driving/steering Inputs....so much so that I've finally done some suspension changes...mostly camber and toe....can't wait to try it out this Saturday!

Joe, thanks for putting that nice tight turn in there, that was a lot of fun, especially seeing how everyone handled it.

I felt bad for that mustang ...ton of power, but no where to put it down ... but it looked fun :)
