Thanks for a nice season, guys. The events all were well run.
We were lucky to get rained on only once. My car (S2000) was suited for it much worse than I expected. But it WAS educational....:)

I agree completely. It's fun to watch, but the risks to the clubs who use the site are high.

Here are my runs from Saturday (Long Course)

Nice to see NCC move the MINI into its main line classes after all this time.
I ran mine for two years in X Class, and then sold the car, so it's too late for me, but a nice break for other...
I am pasting this in from the Philly Solo discussion board.

I'd echo John's sentiments. Thanks for all the hard work.
Great pics, as usual, and congrats to the guys for getting the results up so fast. Amazing.
That was the last time I ever do an event on eight year old OEM tires. Can't say I wasn't warned. (As...
Jason, I will be at Cumberland, only with my ZO6.
I bought a 1999 Cosmos Black Coupe that used to be owned by Randy Cummins. 25,600 miles. I thought it would handle with some sticky tires but am...
I'd like to add my thanks for getting the results up so quickly. Very impressive.
I also thought that the course was excellent and really fun to drive. The visuals were a little weird until you...
Cool. I can make all of those--with only one exception.
I've been looking at E46 M3s and Z4Ms with the intent of ending my unfortunate BMW-less phase, but there's always the MINI if that plan...
I guess I inadvertently launched this discussion way before I meant to.
Anyway, I think SMOODY's suggestion is fine. It would be nice to compete for trophies.
About the X Class: I had a great...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
I'll wait until at least February to raise the annual "what to do with the MINIs?" issue. :)
Trophies? Are there actual trophies?
That would be fun.
Maybe they would let us trade cars on the first run? Or will they be doing fun runs? I'll ask.
Cheers
I really liked the course. Interesting visuals. It invited you to make mistakes but didn't penalize you too brutally.
I kept trying different approaches and kept running the same times anyway:...
I didn't mean to start this. Honest.
The time of my last run is mixed up. It's recorded as a 49.047 when in fact it was a 40.947.....like someone's fingers got a bit mixed up and transposed two numbers. 49's were about 8 seconds...
There is nothing wrong with an "excess" of pointer cones, to be on the safe side. As long as things don't get too cluttered to the point of "sea of cones" confusion. I don't think it was a problem...
The best part of the course was the fast left, and semi-slalom, after the traffic islands heading out from the start. Quick and technical, rewarding the drivers who read it right. I'd like to see...
Craig and the guys put on great events. Any of you who are on the fence, and not regular SCCA season subscribers, this is a great chance to drive (what will probably be) a Greg Olson/Lee Piccione...
That was a hard course, for me at least. I just don't have the discipline for something that tight. The MINI is OK with it, but the driver isn't, I admit.
Good seat time, though.
Nice job...
Amazing. Taking, and posting, 1600 shots.
Thanks for going through the trouble.
Hey Woody, they turned the front half of the course into a drag race on Sunday--you might have needed fourth gear for all I know. I was on the rev limiter in the ZO6 at the end of what I guess I...
Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it.
My car was mis-classed.
I actually registered in the X Class, street tire portion. We had a discussion about this in an earlier thread, where I was asking about the MINI classes. I thought it...
