Good day, I ran the C4 pretty hard, my best run was red flagged due to a spun 911. I ended up with a 55sec run & really had 54's but just F-ed it up.

That blue Scubbie, & black Lotus were stupid fast!

I see no on got pics of the second run group. For anyone who wants some cheap track time, BSCC is having a practice Auto-X tomorrow, $20 & you can run all day long. I'm bringing out the back C4S!

Where do you get all the Auto-X scheduling? I'd like to give my speed 3 a run and see how she does.....

I heard them red flag your run as I was walking away. I tried to run over and see what happened, but didn't make it over in time.....

I'm not sure exactly how they were set up, but the GT2 was doing driver skills stuff. I did not see it run the actual course.....

Greta,
if you can make it out to the June event in Bremerton, I'll grab some pics of your car in action. That's assuming we'll be in different groups as I want to run my speed3 this time around.

James

I was one of the Skills Day instructors in his run group. Very nice car! The ABS braking exercise was like catching the arrestor cable on an aircraft carrier.

It was surprisingly hard to get unsettled out on the wet VHT.

The driver was a really nice guy, who did pretty well considering that I think he was a total novice to HPDEs. The car did help him out a bit, though, since it made up for almost any mistakes he was making. I was surprised that it was so forgiving.
