I will be at the OR SCCA AutoX event in Packwood, WA this weekend. PIR's south paddock is awful so I hope you guys are inside this time. If it is in South Paddock keep an eye on the repaired tire between runs. We call the South Paddock the RallyX paddock. LOL

Yeah, that South Paddock is treacherous. It takes commitment and cajones. I once saw an M3 enter the dip at the corner of the concession stand all crossed up and it lifted on two left-side wheels. I was working that corner and had to run for it. Somehow he lucked out and just landed heavily on all four, whew. After that, I volunteered for entrance monitor instead. @stockysnail, you're already fit so this might not apply, but a helpful exercise I do in-season helps with auto-x and track day reflexes. It won't work in a car with electrically assisted power steering that turns on in accessory position so find something else. Don't start the engine, you'll want any assist off. I use a 4,400 lb. SUV with 33" off-road tires. Crank your favorite music and start sawing the wheel with a 9-3 position and go to both L-R extremes, warming up slowly for a few minutes and then shoot for two complete wheel rotations per second. Start with 10 minutes every other day, progressing to 20 minutes when you can. You'll feel it in your shoulders, but it will make quick reactions on-course easier.

Still, my limit is 96, as in 96°. It's always 8°+ hotter at PIR from the tarmac effect so stay cool out there everyone. Noble of them to provide corner workers for the event so you slackers can focus on fun. Wish I didn't have a prior commitment or I'd be there. |

Sure thing, you can borrow my nerdy open face helmet. We'll have to meet up at some point beforehand as I'm not likely to be there saturday.
