I'm sure it was just a transcription error. At least one of you is being a good sport about it.

507 miles from home. Looks like a sweet layout though.

From Midvale Speedway,

Damn, Thats a nice oval, and I didn't realise you Ohio guys were traveling nearly 8 hours for an autox

Rick, you may or may not know about this one, but the Knoxville PD is using some of its homeland security $$$ to build a training lot for its officers. I don't think it is built yet, but ETRSCCA has been trying to secure this lot for autox. Maybe worth a shot?

Yeah, You were for sure louder than Heath's Chevelle. But, Still think it was pretty close between you and that black C5 Corvette.

Yeah, that Vette was pretty loud at WOT. But I think I had him at idle for the tie breaker.

61.712 by the offical timesheet.

I hope your not implying that im the one being a bad sport , i dont think anyone of us is lashing out in any way....(maybe alittle ribbing ) i think it was great competion between the 2 of us, it really could have went either way IMO.

TOny was driving the hell out his car an i have nothing but the most respect for him.

I think we are both having FUN with this i could care less, im just happy that i didnt tear up the car and turned in a respectable time, the one out of all of this thats E lated(sp?) is Kase and how well his car performed.

Tony what was the improvement over the last time you ran? i mean its the same track the only difference should be the car right? Wheres last years times and how far ahead are you? Your car looked like it was handling alot better i thought and according to what you were saying on saturday.... it was.

Well, now that I see it's a 61.7XX, it's not my best out there which I THINK it was a 61.39X from last outting. I know for a fact the car felt about 10x better, but I was also giving up some tenths in two spots on the course. I also think I had that 61.3XX run on some fairly new if not brand new tires. These have about 7 or so months of use on them.

ANother noteable was that the car could repeat itself. I didn't feel like I was going out there and just getting a "hero run" and not being able to back it up.

We've got a lil Adesa parking lot autocross comin' up so we'll see how it fairs on the lower speed stuff. I'm hoping at LEAST 1/2 second on a 40-ish second course.

I was just kidding around. You didn't read it closely enough I said "At least one of you is being a good sport." It was an intended play on words - "Two" of you still fits that description. Only someone that was feeling guilty would interpret it the way you did. You're awfully sensitive for a cheater. (BTW - I'm still kidding ).

It's all good. It was an understandable transcription error. Both of you performed well enough to take the title; it could have gone either way. And I didn't have enough for either of you. I'm better at stirring the pot than I am at winning. And that was a hell of a run in a stock C5.

Thanks SCMC for a good time. I just wish I had found out about your events sooner, I would have liked to get another shot at that track. Got a 62.xxx somethng +1 on my last run, I finally started to get into the groove. I figured I would have at least placed somewhere near the top in the loudest car contest with the screaming rotary. I wouldn't be surprised if the starter didn't have some hearing loss on Monday,lol Those guys in the lead sleds were amazing, I can't believe how they handled those big cars! Anyway everyone there were very nice to this out of town ricer. I will watch this forum and try and join you guys at some event in the future.
