Always looking out

Oh and BTW, Eric took FTP today at the airport, Cline was second.

They were ahead of Jay, as well as Jinx.

These guys are faster than ever!

Elliott Speidel was cooking at ET this weekend. Congrats on the win even if it was a BMW.

Scent 60 ft times despite major wheelspin. Adding 100 lbs/in front bar rate increase still proved to be be a bit too loose when pushed hard on Sat afternoon, but another 100 lbs/in increase on Sun morning made the car push badly. The tuning learning curve continues .... .... as well as the driver learning curve. I drove like crap too, or so it seemed. Not convinced I'm on the right tires yet either.

STX winner is on Hankook again.

Both those Arizona BMWs (STX and DSP) were flying on those kind of strange courses...I've never seen a course like that, with so few cones...grew to like it, but it was weird, at first.

I went into the Challenge feeling pretty good, given that I knew I had a full second on the right course (based on Sunday's RL runs)...but, I messed it up on the second lap...just as well, I had a long drive home!

The RX8's are going to be just fine in STX, just a little more development work. Mark, I worked course when you ran and someone should have given the same talk to you that Heyward Wagner gave to me, about giving up a couple of critical cones to ensure a good run into the next section

Bryan added his fastest El Toro runs to his Youtube page earlier this week:
