wow thanks everyone! like andy, i also benefitted big time from riding with so many other drivers. really got to know the course well. and after driving andy's car yesterday, now i see why larry seems to CHUCK his car around...

bummer that those 2 PM runs don't count, but the sacrifice was well worth it!
that moves baker up to 2nd IIRC, so like larry said, kudos where kudos are due.

didn't do any pm runs with ML to see his improvement, but i heard about the seconds getting ticked off. andy i wanna see you ripping it next time too!

i'm calling hp autowerks right now to order the m3 stuff! gonna save the camber plates till after i get an on-road test drive with andy

+1 on needing more 1s at AX. all you lurkers better start showing up! dan weren't you reg'd? what happened dude?

btw, 2 cones for me yesterday

My last AM run was with Mark Chambers. He got out of the car and swore it was time to go buy something with some horsepower. I was astonished at his lack of criticism of the run; just that he got out of the car craving more horsepower.

Class B was won by Christo Tinkov in a Z4 M Coupe. The graphs are really just for comparison within this group.... and some bragging rights. No effort is made in the spreadsheet to differentiate between car classes since the average that everyone is compared to is the average of the class winner's average time from Class A through E.

Cool, so you are comparing
((class A winner's avg time)+(class B winner's avg time)+(class C winner's avg time)+(class D winner's avg time)+(class E winner's avg time)) / 5 with the individual driver's avg time for the am and pm runs?

I thought it might just be for Class B but no one's time was at 0% so i couldn't tell who won. It did look like Tinko, or Mike I (but if you disounted some of Mike I's runs, then who knows) probably won.

That's a lot of work in that xls. Nice

Nicklas(Larryn), Rutledge(arrutled), and Howard(ML) are in A. Tinkov, Iannotti(and1), baker(rachel), Harrington(bdh21) are in B. The others are in D.

Looking at the first graph technically tinkov is the best of the group. We split the morning/afternoon times due to the weather. Tinkov Won B. Larry got 5th in A and I got 6th, Howard got 8th. Baker was 3rd in B, Mike I think technically should be 4th in B cause of his non-qualifying runs. However he did have the fastest lap time recorded between all of us, doesnt matter what car he was in, he had to buy himself a beer.

That's basically correct. Artmasterx originally put the sheet together last season. I just modified it to look at the AM and PM info seperately.

Just wanna say thanks to the set-up tear down crew ( and those who help even when it's not their job). Thanks for making things go so efficiently. Glad we all were able to get some dry runs in. Don't forget registration is the end of this week for the next event!

Regardless of graphs, banter, swaybars, cmaber plates, etc... It was nice hanging once again, and also nice to be cone crushing. Out of the group of us, I'm sure I was at 8 cones for the day (or so), and highly likely to be King Conehead.... Hazard wins the overall title by huge margins though. I'd wager he had more that my daily total on numerous individual runs.

I agree. I think we are lucky to have such a good group.
