Hey.... I've done that.... At nationals....



A bunch of times.....

[Keith Brown]

I did that first run both days in 2006.

[Mako Koiwai]

If you saved that OPR ... I'll take it. With the heat gun, can I spread it on Karen's Vette tires? I assume I'm saving the tire underneath? :ibrightdea:

So show em your first run the next day! It was awsome.

...at least the mental breakdown occurred before I got on course for that run. unfortunately I forgot to plug in the recorder before going out so no video.

[Glenn Duensing]

I keep seeing the "OPR" that people gathered but I haven't heard anything about the "snakes". At Salina, we would pick up the OPR and the "Salina Snakes" which is the rubber they put in the expansion joints. Sometimes those suckers would whip out and go for course workers! Did you have any "Lincoln Snakes"?

No snakes that I saw.

The joints were in better shape is what I heard from people that were at both sites...

I guess I found the one upside to running street tires at natl this year... No OPR. But maybe that means my "street tires" were not soft enough.

[Mako Koiwai]

What say the Toyo users ?

Ok.. then show em my 3rd run.
For the record.... it took till my 3rd run to beat Marshall's first run on Friday, and that was only by a whisker.
( That was a "Atta-Boy" for Marshall. He drove very well at nationals this year! )

Come on Max you know no one pays attention to pro solo national championships,

Really I just got tired of going through results.. that and our car was broken for the second day of the pro finale so I didn't really want to think about it. :unimpressed:

[Aaron Goldsmith]

You forgot Katie (Caddy) Nichols....

Cal Club members Pete. If you wanna do SD's list feel free

[Rick Brown]

You forgot Katie (Caddy) Nichols....

While Katie is unforgetable, she is in SDR, not CSCC.

[Mako Koiwai]

Isn't she a CSCC/CASOC member ? ... see Find Other Users http://www.solo2.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

18 drivers, 5 champions + 8 trophies

By my calculations, 72% of SDR drivers brought hardware back vs. 53% for CalClub. Looks like we are better on average.

I personally consider us as one big happy region though.
