I agree that my time got mixed up with someone else's.

It was my first time driving an S2000 and that thing was hell to tame. I would need far more practice to learn how to drive that type car.
Thanks for confirming that, Tim.

I think you are correct. I did not see a 51.679 crossing the line, but it is showing up in my results.

PS GREAT event. Really enjoyed the course Alexis, fantastic job! And, thanks for the ride along driving instruction Loren. Owe you a run next time!
I recall Tim telling me he had a 54.something. There is no way he turned in a 47. I was watching the run and (sorry Tim) but he wasn't that smooth or that fast.

I think Jeremy would be hard pressed to do better than a 49 in my car with those tires!

Chris, thanks for the kind words and the advice. Now if I can just get a comparable level of improvement in the DCM (Driver Control Module)...

Thank you Eric for the pics, and Scott & Mary for the vids!
What a fabulous coverage!
The GT30 did more than survived! It kicked some butts, especially with Mark T. at the wheel! 26th overall! :shock:
With me at the wheel, it was my butt spinning around.... 2 cars-2 spins :oops:
Great event, thanks for being flexible and allowing us to really test our LeMons car.
We finally found our gas leak! There is an airline fracture in a weld of the fuel cell. Our fuel cell is attached too tight on the car frame and must be flexing with the car... we'll add some rubber.
The time I read at the end of my last run in the EVO did not registered properly either. I don't care, but if someone is looking for his correct time, I'm a possibility!
Actually I do care, it would have put me in front of Loren... :wink:
Thanks everyone again!
