I'd complain about the course, but that's just because of the tight turns - nothing really wrong with it. That back-right hairpin was the worst. I achieved my fastest run, 36.140 I believe, when I down shifted to first after giving up pretty much all speed before the turn. Sucks because I messed up the 1-2 shift that I'm sure could have been a high 35! Oh well. The slalom at the end was fast and fun, and going full throttle at the second-to-last cone was a blast.

The surface sucked, let's face it - almost as bad as MW in some places in terms of gravel. Good news is that it's alot closer than MW, and much bigger than either rodeo lot from #1 and #2 events.

As usual, great driving from the Jeremy's and Jon. It's always fun watching evos on rcomps blast sideways through gravel!

Physical space might be larger. But actual course space is not that far off.

Jon was very fast in X-pro but Jeremy was cone hunting and scored well in that sense.





I had one clean run all day. Twas not a good day

Thanks for NOT posting the rapide pax results and making me look like a total hack!

Foley got 3rd in Pax and Wagner got 4th in pax out of over 60 drivers. Total winnings $55 combined total.

I did worse in PAX than regular runs. I had car issues. That's my excuse. :-)
