I'm pretty sure mine was slower than other Civic times I think Jason, Stephen, Ken, and Jon were all turning regular 69s.Mako Koiwai wrote:Seb got down to 70.X
Note to those planning on using 100oct from the 76 on La Paz...They are out, and don't know when they'll get more.

HB has a 100 octane pump that's about 2 bucks cheaper a gallon if you're at el toro and hard up for fuel, just not quite as close.Sebastian Rios wrote:the 100oct is pump gas...Jonathan Lugod wrote: just switch back to pump gas... its cheaper and more available :gpower:

No ... just a lot of outstanding driving ... maintaining speed in fairly quick corners.

Hey thanks Steve E for an invite to a fun event & thanks also Steve A for riding along.

Who was the blonde in the black leather pants?
Messed up one of my runs when she was "striking a pose" next to the dark copper P car.
Tried to focus on the course but that image keep popping back into my head.
