Great event everyone.
RJ, thanks for the course layout. G, thanks for using camel tow for all the stuff.
I had a blast trying out rear-wheel drive. I expected the car to be easier to drive, but I'd have to have a lot more practice to get better times. The M coupe out there was probably the most similar car to my dad's and he was gettting much quicker times. Looks like more practice is in order!
As far as improvements and things that went well I could suggest:
-we were set-up early and everything seemed smooth and relaxed before the event started
(only batteries were needed)
-registration was easy
-plenty of time to walk the course
-grid up for the 1st session was a bit confusing, but only because we didn't ahve time to space everyone out before they all drove up to the grid.
-great idea having all 8 runs at once. Things went faster and you could learn the car and make changes immediately in your next run.
-
-next time, we could take Pay-Pal payments (suggested by Laura) so we have more show up.
-clean up was easy and there were no incidents!
-the only negative comment I heard was about the 914 driver. I've seen this car at a PCA autox and I expected it to be one of the FTD. My dad was talking to him and when he heard the timing equipment malfunctioned, he said he wouldn't trust his times to any person- and left. his lost I guess because it was a great course and definately wasn't a national level event. :? Anyways, guess we need to make sure the timing equipment is reliable next time.
