I tdo...I'm pretty sure I got one of you.

I got a quick question about the ride-along:

How do they work? Does the person riding along sit and observe for the first run and then suggests changes or do they make comments while driving? Just wondering because I am interested in having one at the next event

depends on the rider. When I ride along with people, I try not to talk during the run except for a few short, key comments. And I hold my hand up where the driver can see it peripherally to direct left or right turns coming up if he's having trouble reading the course.

I've seen some guys who just ride and comment afterwards, and others who talk you through ever turn. Just depends on who you get

Hmm, sounds pretty interesting. I feel I have a lot to gain by having someone with more experience ride along. Sort of wanted to today, but the rush made it go to the back of my mind.

Thanks everyone for coming out to today's event.

Also, a big thanks to the entire autocross committee. You guys make it possible for us to have these events.

It will take a bit of time to get the results ready. Hopefully I'll be able to crunch by tomorrow afternoon.

And sorry about the rain / thunder / lightning - you can blame Bogdan for it.

[gbauer]

In that case, I'm glad Bogdan was late. he kept the damage limited to the afternoon....

My car is open to anyone who wants to observe on runs 1 and 2. If nothing else, the extra views of the course at speed can help.

Videos of today will be up on YouTube a little later.

Definitely interested. I've watched your videos a few times and I appreciate it when you put them up. Do you know which session you are running at the next event? Next event is in Sykesville, if that has any bearing on your decision for which session to run.

Hey Jonathan, not a real big deal, but I think the Toyota should be taken out of the S1 class.

There's a Toyota MR2 in S1 (also in X-class with the same name, but different number) , Ford Mustang in S2, Pontiac GTO in T3, and a BMW 325i in XR.

I'll get these fixed with the next revision. Thanks!
