[automatic]

In :D Hope the weather is better!

The storm made for a good fun run!

[yangsui]

^you guys were CRAZY! Especially Val with the top down :eek:

[twinch]

I was super tempted but I was worried about waterlocking the engine with having a CAI and all. The runs looked awesome though with the massive puddles.

No damage that I know of to any of my tools, just some surface rust on my jack.

[romanm]

[Outika]

I think I'll be making this event, my AE86 is back in action!

[MitS]

Taylor's site is down.

I have to miss 2 in a row. I will be there for the final event.

[13inches]

The site is back up.

Hope to see everyone on Saturday!

[yangsui]

OMG tomorrow!!

Looking like a great day for street tires!

[Ziploc]

I had a great time guys!

Cheers to all the gentlemen who, when they decided to mess up, they made sure to do it on the side the camera was filming.

Thanks to YouTubes new trim feature, videos will be up sooner!

[twinch]

Great time today, but I never really got into the zen moment with this one. I had a fun 1/4 of a fun run too. Thanks again to all the organizers and sorry I didn't help clean up the pylons after the fun run. I was busy ziptying things together.

Thanks to everyone who supported me and said such nice things to me through my time of strife.:) This is exactly why I really enjoy this sport. This community is the most helpful and supportive bunch of people I have ever had the pleasure to play with. I've been drinking so I think I may be getting a bit mooshy

Till next time..

[automatic]

Fun course! I never knew a Mazda 3 could drift the way it did today.

[Frank]

I had another brain fart, any one grab my blue bin with my helmet in side? I left it behind.
I think my hole day went that way, I was forever off coarse, and when I was on I could not improve my time.
C+ group was very tight with the times again, just 10th between us, good job guys! very fun racing you all!

Greg was talking to me about 86s. And I found the article I was talking about.

Did you know Toyota sold popup foglights?

Me neither!

[1337trix]

if it wasnt for the tire wall at mosport, greg's would look ALMOST that good...

[Kuruma]

Tough course, but flowed well - wasn't my day either.

Losing a point by 0.001s capped off my day :D

I should be uploading videos tomorrow.

[1337trix]

Louis, you should be happy you only lost by .001, think how depressed you'd be if you have to find 3 seconds and run ftd just to win your class :(

That's awesome, and it includes my favorite engine swap for my car.

Also...

That's what I keep telling people! They never believe that my car was once nice looking...back in 1986 :D

[Ziploc]

I'm happy with where I placed. I think I had a passenger for every run I did. So I could have gone a little bit faster. ;)

[Silvia_Drift]

As usual, the PITL guys put on a great event. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I was the guy with the excessively aggressive driving style in the Honda S2000. The course layout was a bit confusing for me at first but was fun to drive once I got the hang of it. I just wish I learned the course a little quicker. Maybe it's time for me to focus a little bit more on times than sliding around lol.

[Ziploc]

There's no wildlife penalty is there?

[engsr]

Depends if it's down and out.

Results are off to Brad to be posted on the website. It looks like our shootout competitors are now confirmed, so you certainly don't want to miss the last event as we find out who of the following will be left standing in our new shootout format!

Bryan
Val
Frankie
Matt
Steve

You've got two weeks to prepare! :D

[1337trix]

Also interesting that all five run on street tires :eek:

[1337trix]

i think even if you ran without the Bonus those guys would still all have 50 points


*edit - Bryan would actually have 49 points... but could be in the shootout if he won the last event

[twinch]

You've got two weeks to prepare! :D

Anyone want to loan me their manual car to co-drive so I can prepare in the (un)?likely event the shootout involves a manual car? :D

[darcyw]

I thought everyone here drives a manual.

Who's the guy with the whole fist pumping thing? He looks like a total tool...unless he's you...then YOU look like a total tool.

Vinny from Jersey Shore....

No affiliation, blah blah blah.

[Taylor]

Results are up.

Hrmm.. looks like if I want the class win I better show up to the next event.. question is.. can I get enough points? :) Looks like I need at least 7 for the Tie if Rob wins the class that day.

If FTD in C Class, assuming I could win it.. which on OE tires is going to be very difficult (is 67.6 that would put me 11th in C Mod).. oh dear. :) Time for a rain dance perhaps. :P

[Mr2Rob]

I can't imagine your OE tires would be 4 seconds slower than RS3's on the S2000 so I'm confused as to what your ride will be...I'm hoping it's Ryan's Insight entered in C-Mod (and no rain of course)!

[Taylor]

It's a 2L Turbo. :p

Not really a secret, but this is more fun.

Course it's entirely possible I could still have the S when that even rolls around. I better not.. but I might. Should be resolved this week.

And fyi, the S is/was on R1R's.

I'd run the RSX but I only have winters for it and it's not as fast as this other car.

[1337trix]

who'd have thought C-Mod would still be up in the air... it'll be something to watch... i think you can definitely pull it off
