    I think I'm actually going to try not to worry about overall results but focus on learning new techniques and improving my driving.... even if it means killing three cones on the 2nd to last corner. :)

    Oh, it's doable. I've never directly beat Mark in an event, but I've beat people who have beaten him, so I guess I've beaten him by proxy once removed. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

    with me I tend to be faster (feels slower) when I forget about driving the car and just let it flow , within reason

    Hey, great idea. And I beat YOU in the last event (by 3 whole hundreths of a second). so.... I've beaten Mark, twice removed. :laugh:

    hmm. maybe start doing some weight reduction since you're already in m4. rallycross cars don't need stereos, ac, rear seats, etc... :)


    I just need to talk to my parents and see I can use their pasture for a weekend so I can set up a practice course. :cool:

    What rear seat?

    And when Carl needs to reduce weight...he heads to the "biffy".

    Great!! I'm looking forward to working towards a 1,2,3 old school showing from the early 2000 crew!! :) (you, Greg and I) back when a guy could get 3rd by just finishing his runs!!!:laugh:, I've been so busy with school that i've had no time to come out and play this year :(

    I also miss having enough free time to help Jim Cox with the truck :(

    since this is a divisional event, does it pull in more competitors from outside the local area? or is it mostly the same people?

    I think we had one guy come from out-of-division last year. That could change, but right now to qualify for thenational, all you have to do is compete in a regional, so there's not a lot of incentive to drive a long way if you can qualify for just showing up at a closer event.

    Yeah, I wish I had some discipline when I was younger, we had a subaru that we beat on out in the fields and gravel pit, but we were more concerned with spinning tires and jumping than trying to go fast around corners or actually learn car control... still, those were the days...

    I bet Josh Armantrout and his STI will make it. He went out to the East Coast for the Eastern Championship two weeks ago. He ran most of the events here last year and came in 2nd in SA at Nationals.

    Many, many drivers would improve by taking this to heart. Smooth is the only way to become fast. Once you master smooth, and I really mean master, then you can work on chucking it in there and dealing with what comes up. Earlier in my experience as a driver, I spent two years slowing down so I could get faster. Now that is deeply engrained and I don't have to think about it.

    More smack

    To hell with practice, we need more good venues for events. Build it and we will come.

    (Smack) But all of you will lose. (Sting)
