Wow, an 80 second course. Wish I could have been there. Definitely S2000 friendly.

I'm pretty sure mine was slower than other Civic times I think Jason, Stephen, Ken, and Jon were all turning regular 69s.
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.

the 100oct is pump gas...

I know, it's a bit ridiculous to spend more on gas for the little civic than for the truck that tows it.

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.

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

thanks for the "in-car"/evo school help. I need to look farther than the hood of my car

... it helped to have someones whole arm block my view of the hood and make me look out my window.

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.
