Day 1 in the books. Shiny side is still up. :)

[Datawiz]

We had one car "almost" make the water today, but slid down into the mud. My car is strong. I'm only slightly off of my (and the) all time record time, but I was also cautious due to last year's wreck. I'll have some unedited videos up later tonight. Car ROCKS! Brakes are STELLAR. :hurray:

Learn from Thomas, and screw the dog show pics, and post the chick pics, from the dog show... ;o)

Have fun! And consider staying safe, as long as it doesn't conflict with #1

[simpleman68]

Good deal Craig! :cert:

I know when I have a bad experience at the track it takes a while to let the fear go and get my head right again.
Incredible how much that can hold you back.

There are a few really good looking girls here this weekend. I'll try and remember to take some cell phone pics tomorrow. :cert:

Record is 2:22.871. I'm dirty at 2:23.8 and clean at 2:24.1 and on the 2:24 I bogged BIG time. There is definitely time out there. Running clean (no cones) is uber-difficult on this course. 2 of my 3 today were clean, which is good for me.

Excellent! If you only have to shave less than 1%, you're in the zone big time.
Now to find that extra second :driving:

No, that's Halloween week usually but it's 19-28th this year

Be safe and stay thirsty.

Thanks for the update and looking forward to the vids :seasix:

Guess he better stay for a couple of more weeks :D

[CBonsall]

good luck and have fun. :cert:

Car is still in one piece AND I broke the record...WITH A CONE. Previous record was 2:22.871 (mine from 2010) and I got a 2:22.380 INCLUDING a 2 second penalty!! (2:20.380 raw time). No fendered car has EVER gotten into the teens at this course. I was so close. Next year when I return as an SSP car, I will shatter that record too. :hurray:

Still working on the videos. Won't likely have them up until tomorrow.

[Marc]

Way to go Craig :hurray::hurray: Can't wait to see the vids :cert:

[Jeff '79]

Great video. Nice smooth run that you had there. Congrats !.
What was your top speed?

[kingpin]

Nice run. :cheers:
A couple times through the slalom it looked like your hands were quicker than your car.

Is the window open a safety thing?

:hurray:

Congrats on the great run!! Good to hear you are kicking ass and taking names!
Great video angle too. I saw some very nice lines :yesnod:

Good luck tomorrow!

Congratulations! That course looks like a blast.

Fastest speed was 125 at the finish. I have used fourth gear and gone faster before.

I've gone faster in fourth gear too. :yesnod:

Me too. [Closed course, professional driver, do not attempt.]:leaving:

[Datawiz]

I've gone faster in fourth gear too. :yesnod:

Third gear runs out at 125. Really not much to be gained going to fourth.

[GRN ENVY]

Awesome job Craig!!!!! Seems the car is getting more solid every run

Killer run Craig! Very cool to see how fluid the movement around the cones is.
I was looking for the cone you ate but couldn't find it.
Will be a blast to go at it again with a few more mods and run a different class.

Makes me wonder what you could do in my car with some stickier tires; although the power and gearing would be
a negative. I run out of 4th gear at 135 with the limiter bumped to 7400.

Gearing would definitely be an issue. More shifting equals more room for mistakes. But, the power in your car would be amazing at that event. :yesnod:
