Some tight pony car competition in S3 with only 0.264 seconds separating 2nd thru 4th places.

2nd or 3rd place is anyone's this year. Definately makes for a fun season. Shelby Mike will have to be limited to only 5 runs tho' just to keep us all on the same second. Wonder when "The Scrapyard Baron" will show up with his Frankenstein Miata swap Stang with 7 cylinders, 3 brakes, 10" 5 bolts, 315 4yr old tires and fearless driving to give us even more competition?

It was a greatttttttttttttt day for racing.

Just wanted to thank Fast for providing such a great venue for the sport. My first time and had most fun in a long time. Thanks Greg introducing me to Fast and some cool people, Allen for showing me how to work the course and riding in that sweet s2000, and Andy for riding with me and making me feel comfortable with the course. This location was just fantastic.

Bruce Dally your mustang was crazy fast, I would love to know if you have some pictures of my Gray 370z number 241. I saw the Miata you had pictures of and look forward to seeing something like that of my car. Thanks

Looking forward to November

Thanks, but it wasn't fast enough. I suppose for a street car it held it's own. Now that we understand the classes a little better I think it's time to go to come R1R's and meet the 140 treadwear "street tire" class. Even though a R888 is 100tread wear, it will never hang with a 40tread wear slick. Let alone a Stalker...

But about your pics, yes, I have 51 pictures of #241. Let me get them together and I will send you a PM.

Loved the course!!! Short, but loved the quick/fast transitions. Loved the section before the back stretch if you will. Very deceptive on how quick you could really take it (wide open). If I get the pleasure of autocrossing this car again, I'll NEVER run it without a full tank again that's for sure. She was starving for fuel at the last turn into the finish. Cost me a solid .5 seconds, if not more.

I'll post up some photos I took, mostly group 1 of the afternoon, whenever I get a chance...probably later in the week. Probably won't mess with my videos until the weekend.

I have to say, I have been to Peggy O'Neil's 3 times and EVERY time the service has SUCKED. +1bazillion to never going there again..

Today's paper.

OMG Bruce Those are some awesome pics, you know I was bummed because I wanted someone to take pics for me until you came along and saved the day. Your photography skills are amazing you even caught a cone mid flight. I will make sure to thank you in person next time.

You'll have to thank Paris. She was running our car as #57. But it was all her handy work.

Guess we will have to pre volunteer as teardown help so that we can snap pictures of both run groups during our sessions. Everyone always love pictures.

We love reliable tear-down help, too!

Everyone remember, you can upload your favorite autocross photos to be featured on the website. Right there on the homepage.

We only keep 20 or so of the latest and bestest photos in the website gallery, so send us what you got!

Had a great time guys!!!! Can't wait til next month. Any way some one can point me to the results page?

Teardown seems more enjoyable than running after cones. I'm in.

We really don't need more than 3-4 people for teardown, but anyone who's up for it, be sure to list it as a work preference when you register. (and if you're gonna do something cool like take photos while you're not working course, you might mention that in the comments/notes section... will increase your chances of getting that assignment!)

Gotta put it on your registration, though. That's what I go by when doing the run/work groups. And you can ask anybody, I don't remember much!

some video's from Sunday:

Mary's best inside car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmqu6JAG0sQ

Same run outside Car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5nMZ98QhE

Short clip with Chris M. explaining what just happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex2sH9Qj9p0

my run: yea, the date is wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FdanaeMDVs

The tire rubbing issue was finally figured out when we got home.... silly error on my part.

videos of your car always look like they are in 1.5x playback speed. Superstalker: 10/10 do want!

Depends on where and when. At SPC, it means resetting the police training course. At Brooksville, it means carrying stacks of cones halfway down the runway. And you're committed until everything's packed in the trailer and it's hooked to the truck...doesn't matter if the event runs long, if it's raining, or if your own gear is still spread out on the pavement. Guarantees you'll be one of us last off the site.

All true, but with the split event format, at least the tear-down folks don't have to be people who were on-site at 6 or 7am.

We've been better about trying to get someone with a truck (or event a car w/ a big trunk) to run pick up the stacks of cones, too. Usually, just requires asking someone who's towing a car to make a pick-up run before loading their car on the trailer and/or hooking up their truck.

Those are some nice pictures!

Thanks Eric, I lucked out with two pictures! Do you know where on the course mine where taken? One the car looks pretty flat, the other has some serious roll.
