So where is all the smack talk for the East Coast showdown
With all the event management issues and the Cap on entries this event would have to be Titanic.

Good luck to all. Looks like the Z boys are coming out to play

You guys just keep taking points from each other. We don't want anyone going to KS with 40pts.

Now that is funny....The ProSolo points system needs to based off of the winning time with a mulitplier divided by the winning time. Points should be 3 digits. How many spec classes and or strong classes suffer from a good region vs a weak region.

Points/Event = 100 - ( 900 x Entrants Time - Class Winning Time) Divided by Class Winning Time


In other words if you lose two events by a total of 1 tenth of a second than you would have approximately 99 or 98 pts regardless of the winner per event. A win would be 100 pts. The difference between two 3rds to even a first and fourth place finish with the current points system is ridiculous. Also you can award a point for winning the class per round to prevent sand bagging.

Anyone else

LOL. I hope you know I was kidding. I initially thought Mark was going to run in the RX-8 so I made plans to run the Boxster... and I got a co-driver so I'm kinda stuck in it at the moment.

BS Saturday

Carter T. 65.134
Aaron B. 65.58
Chris H. 65.596
Mark A. 65.934
Bren B. 66.062
Jim T. 66.172
Andy H. 66.231
Clyde 66.375

I had good times in the morning, but dirty. In the afternoon, I found myself playing it safe on the first run each side (what a friggin mistake), and then redlighted my last left side run with a .499RT and then redlighted my last right side with a .2xxRT.

John V led AS in his Boxster S after the morning by about .5 seconds, but dropped to second in the afternoon by about .4.

Forecast for tomorrow is rain with thunderstorms all day...which is what the forecast was for Friday and today.

Oh well...what are you gonna do?

We finished for the day around 7pm. Timing issues weren't *that* bad, but there were so many cars to run...
