So looks like twins took the 8,9, and 10 positions today with John Hale (AustinTX) having the top twin time today which was the 8th fastest overall.

1st was a 370Z, 2nd a 99 MX-5, and 3rd an RX-8. The 2nd/3rd place finishers were the last two national champs, although in different cars. I kind of figured the course today wouldn't be the best for the twins.

However STX today runs the course which I think is better for the twins.

people hyped up the other cars so much I was afraid that we'd not even make it into top 10

Rev limiter in three spots, no third for me....if i had another run I'd try it on 1 - 2 spots.

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. Video of day one is posted in my budget RTR build thread. I'll have day two posted as soon as possible just hit the road, heading back towards Detroit, road racing the Neon on Saturday.

Awesome driving! Do you think a twin could have won? Just wondering if you think the car still belongs in the class or should be moved to be truly competitive (with a chance to win).

Can't wait to see the video. After watching your first video, I know I still have a lot of work to catch you guys at the top of the pack. Hopefully be out there at nationals next year!

I will give a recap when i get home. I cannot speak for everyone, but i do not think an frs/brz could have won this weekend. I had fun and am just taking everything in... the CS talent level was phenomenal!

I know for sure it could not have beat the 370z on todays course. I'm not sure if the Miata is any faster, but I also feel Fenter is the best driver in the class, and their Miata might be garbage without the big $ double adjustable shocks. I even think the rx8 may be a better car simply because of their gearing advantage in second gear.

There's always more left in the car, and I'm not developed enough as a driver to say the car couldn't have gone faster because i know it could, but this year I'm not sure a win with any driver was possible.

I feel a move to E Street may be best for us haha, but I may be biased. Cant wait to see ES run tomorrow and compare CS twins to ES NBs and Spyders

I was thinking the same about ES too.

We CanNOT compete with Zs on 70% of courses and RX8s are almost as tough thanks to their excellent gearing
