after quoting the gent, you wrote attest, which is colloquial for "I'm in agreement with," thereby creating a paradox.


all could have been avoided if you prefaced your text by a simple "I disagree"


so my reading comprehension is bang on


if you feel offended by other people poking through the gaping holes of your thoughts then don't share them

My local M3 buddy (who generally kills everyone) made buddy with the M3 currently competing.


I wonder how that car will do compared to the twins tomorrow... as we're all curious if our local course library are power or momentum

I read a couple takes on another forum and it isn't quite as open as it seems, and they changed the course a little bit from the maps posted so it's no longer as open in some spots.

Less grammar. More bench racing.

They didn't run the same course. STR/STU were on the East. STX was on the west.

Not entirely sure what you are getting at, but keep in mind CS and STX were on West course yesterday and East course today. STU and STR are the opposite. Full rundown of what classes run where on which days is on the last page of this document: http://scca.cdn.racersites.com/prod/...20reduced1.pdf

What's crazy is how close CS and STX are. Was weather or OPR a factor? There should be more than a 1.5s gap between the two.

This proves what many people fail to recognize... "Parts do not make you faster"

Yeah, not sure I'd agree. My personal rule of thumb (not that 2014 pax agrees) is that top of CS should be within ~2% or 'in the trophies' vs STX and that is about where they are after day 1.

[7thgear]

1.5s for STX/CS


but 2.0s for top BRZ vs Sean and Ricardo


2.5s for the next closest twin


so that's quite a gap on 60s course.. hell, SCCA thinks STX can't be more than 0.36s faster on a 60s course , so I think this is proof enough that they got their numbers wrong.
