That would be Tommy Chang (according to the results pdf - I haven't met the guy personally).

We could also photoshop the #'s - no one would ever know, Brett, hee hee.

Nice event and great track at the GRA event. I really enjoyed it.

Here is a video of my best time. 60.501, not a trophy run but fun none the less.

My car's actually a little different looking, but you probably couldn't tell unless they were parked next to each other...

Next event we'll get it... :thumbup:

Nice work Katie! Excellent Panning Shots! I STILL have trouble getting ones as good as yours. ... are you the one that had the new D40 ... that I used to shoot you and your bf + Miata in the morning? Or are you the one that I asked to step back ... up to the Grid ... while you were shooting? (I was worried about you getting better shots then me. :-)

Caught me doing the Corvette slide.

No cones though it was a nice wide Corvette Track :thumbup:

Hey all. I'm new to SCCA Solo 2, and I had a good time at Fontana last weekend... Even though I totally got my ass handed to me! :D Thanks for a fun event.
Quick question. How long does it usually take to get the Indexed Results up on the website? I'm anxious to see just how badly I got beat down! :shock:

They were up by 6:30pm Sunday night. Go to the Events Forum, then Event Results sub-forum. Results are posted on the AXWare site, at least initially.
Class Results: https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/files/C ... 09_fin.htm
Pax Results: https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/files/C ... 09_pax.htm
