Had a rough go at the Fontana ProSolo. Was in ok shape after first session (7 of 14) after some pretty conservative driving. Made a minor shock change for afternoon session and went backwards, literally (big spin on right side). Didn't make up any ground as I was fighting rear grip.
2nd day was a mess of timing issues for me and a red light on my best (I think) run. T&S had 2 times that were not mine, and scored my red light run as a good run, but in the wrong spot (1st run when it was my re-run from timing issues). I had to go tell them it was a red light before audit came out. I didn't bother attempting to get my other times corrected as by that point, we had been sitting in impound for over an hour.
Even with the correct times I would have still been mid-pack at best. I struggled with the Fontana surface and just didn't drive well enough to be as competitive as I would hoped.
Question: The timing issues made me wonder if anyone does any kind of recording of their times at a Pro, in case they need to prove to T&S a correct time?
I have only done a handful of Pro's, but this is the second time I have had really bad timing luck. I could have lost the MinWells Pro last year because my best time was recorded to a different car. I had multiple people, some in my own class while in impound, and another lady I did not know when I finished the run, tell me it was recorded to a different car.
That time would have extended my lead to about a full second. T&S realized the error, and gave me a re-run after I had been sitting in impound for 15 minutes, which I of course went slower in (cooled down BFG's). Fortunately Brandon gifted me a red light so my win was preserved, but had he not done that I would have had to somehow prove my best time to retain the win. Just wondering how people approach that or if you are basically screwed....
