That course was big fun, but that first section scrambled my brain in the early going. The walom was pure genius, and was so rewarding when I (sort of) got it right. It was so tempting to go too fast through its first left-hander, and then deal with an ugly tank-slapper recovery when you pogo off the right-hand springs!
Well done, CASOC members... a pretty smooth event overall.

Nice job, Doug. Good to see you drive as well as you write ;)

Both days were run well and were lots of fun. Thanks to people on Saturday for not slapping me for my numberous spins. The one taking out the timing lights was particularly embarrassing, thanks for not beating me up on that.
Special thanks to Theo for the ride-along, and to Jamie for taking the time to show me what the course could feel like. Also, big thanks to Rick and Theressa for showing me how to run the timing system on Sunday. Still have some learning, but I'm glad I can now say I've been trained. And if I could keep up with the cone count on a course like this, I'm pretty sure I could do it anywhere.
Cheers,
Collin Webster

Yeah, I'd say that was about as bad as it gets in Timing, not the ideal learning situation. You handled it very well. In fact, I think you had fewer mistakes when we audited that some of the more experienced timing computer operators. On a more "normal" day you'll probably be bored now!

Only if there is a novice discount or waiver.

And $5.00 per cone on instructor runs at championship events.
