i'm not sure if disconnecting the battery will do it, but otherwise you gotta use the cobb accessport or take it to any schucks type place and they can clear the codes for you for free

Was cool to see you again today Shaun

Today was awesome. Very fast track... which lead to short times. Eric was running the start line for the first run group though and we got 5 runs in with a huge Grid. I'll post video in a bit.

Interesting. You're still allowed to use the taxiway, there just can't be any lateral stress on it... so yah, check out the 1/8th mile drag strip at the start

Seek to 1:57 for the run.

Eric was hitting 3rd gear in the GTR before BRAKING for the crossover. I lifted for it.

This is a pretty good video of how an AutoX works for new people... Though this is my 5th run for the morning, which would've been my last except I'd been red flagged due to a Subaru in front of me losing it so I came back in for a rerun.

The way the camers is it kind of looked like you hit almost all of the cones. Nice video though.

Good to see you too Nick. It was fun out there. I had some hot start issues with the car but other than that it ran great. Hopefully it's just my battery.

It was definitely a fun course. In the afternoon the couple with the 914-6 broke in to the 42's! Crazy fast time of the day.

Definitely a good time but definitely rewarded power.

A lot of the time, the fastest line takes you as close to the cones as you can physically get without knocking them over or out of the box. In slaloms, the best drivers will wobble almost every cone. It can be really annoying as a course worker since you still have to go out and check

Didn't realize I still had that video, I thought it was on my old youtube account that got deleted.

It was... typical Bremerton courses before the death of the crossover were closer to 60 seconds. The length of this one wasn't so bad, it was just really fast.
