1. How to drive a Civic, since Tod was nice enough to let me co-drive his car.
2. Being 6/10ths behind Tod and also 6th overall behind a couple of Cobras, Pat Y. and Andrew C. at the end of the day makes you really happy.
3. Tod's car is really well set up and after driving his car I really want to beat Joe in it.
4. V710's might end up on my P5 soon.
5. Civics are really nice/fast/light but I missed my Mazda.

1. When most of the fast guys stay away I can end up in the top 5
2. That said it is nice to only lose to Pat, Andrew and a couple of Cobras
3. Changing our marshalling system was a good idea
4. Two stinkin' hot days in a row will give me a nasty sunburn
5. Running RA1's in the first half of the day in an effort to save your Kumhos isn't worth it, probably woulda been faster if I started with 'em. (Plus the extra tire change sucked)
6. Putting the old RA1's onto a friend's car who has never run R's is sure to bring a smile (and faster times.)
7. My car must be easy to drive cuz anyone who gets in is almost as fast as me... doesn't say much for my 7 years experience with it



And a big thanx to Lynda Day and Kim Ebers for all their efforts

What did you change your marshalling system too Todd?

We are now using a system like that of the first regional in Piction.

I wasn't there, but I learned that some drivers were using dirt bike helmets? I think that's a no-no, and should be addressed at the next event.....

I didn't see anyone using a dirt bike helmet. Where did you get your info from? PM me (You don't have to mention any names) and I will be sure to bring it up at our next meeting this Thursday. Unfortunately not one event I've been to, hosted by any club, have I had my helmet checked and for the longest time the TLMC events were the only ones that checked my license.

Dirt bike helmets are allowed as long as they are rated accordingly.
