Nice work man.

Haha thx. I'm doing drive by postings here didn't see your post. My bad!

I only got 1 in car vid and its of a terrible run smacking 2 cones and going too slow in the SW corner of the course but I'll post it up later once I get home. My best times weren't clean runs at all today. I'm not as good as I used to be. Getting old.

I was pleasantly surprised at the RC-Fs performance for most of the day. Drove the car with the throttle, so much fun. Wasn't until my last 2 runs where the rears warmed up and got grippy and couldn't rotate the car anymore and was nailing the same cone over and over again on the west side of the track.

So what happened with the 1990s green track mustang that spun out two times off course and had excessive tire squealing drifting like crazy? Nothing?

Your RC F looked like it was reaching some high speeds on the straight after the turn around in the afternoon compared to other cars in your group. Love the colour too.

Thanks man. I took a funky line there to maximize speed, as soon as I cleared the last cone I went wide outside of the white lines and WOT. Lots of room there to line up the car for the next left with tons of speed. Only saw a people doing that, oddly enough. Not sure if that's even the fastest way around that section.

Here's my 52.1 run with 2 cones. You can see the line I'm talking about.



Really wished I had a clean run. I think the car had a 44.5 in her in the morning and low 51s in the afternoon. Now I'm curious what the car can do on RE71Rs. Maybe even give Sugarphreak a run on raw times.

Kind of sucks, but what can you do. Safety is a top priority out there

Oh shit, really? I've been relocated while shooting races before and it's a bit annoying but certainly not reason to pitch a fit. I wasn't sure what your photo regs were so I didn't bring my photo gear either. I'll have to haul it out next time.

Aww man, I was really looking forward to seeing that.

Was it in the afternoon? I didn't see the cameras set up anymore. It can get sketchy out there. Running sound in the afternoon we had a couple close calls with cars overshooting the corner behind us and coming straight at us from behind which we didn't notice until too late because we were busy measuring sound.
