When i took off, i was supose to go clock-wise on a turn, and went counter clock wise, scared the hell out of a few people! lol i think. hehe other then that it was good. Oh and rick, right after you left, i pulled a 45.xxx and a 43.864 last run!!! hehehe so hah!! punk!

Yeah I did okay too

after I got down to 37.906 the front tires got nice and hot and I slipped back down to 38.5xx. see as I had no way to cool them down (no water spray ) I didn't bother running again.

but the car is sorted nicely with the new tires. I just have to get the wider 245/45/17s on them to reduce the understeer. I figure I was losing at least 1/2 a second to a second due to the understeer

Hey Carlos, remember that dude at the last autox in Stockton, old school MR2 I believe, who started to run the whole course counter clockwise? That was hilarious! I just don't see how that can happen considering that he was in line, did he not see everyone else running the course?

Sometimes ppl get nervous and forget the track. I've done that few times, but when I got more experienced I made less mistakes
