I had my first points event of the year today. This is my 2nd event of the year so far.
I get to the lot around 7:15am and proceed to get my slicks on, magnets and head to check-in and tech.
My car is in E Prepared and our group is first to race. It's a bit cool, cluody, and windy but it's around 60 degrees and dry. It's a medium speed course that winds constantly and has no straights....PERFECT!!! I click off a 48.7 on my first lap with a good amount of understeer due to the cold tires. 2nd lap goes well with the rear following me around the turn 1 sweeper and I understeer again in the turn 2 transition, tires are still a bit cold but I improve to a 48.4 lap time. 3rd lap goes well as I'm able to nail turn 2 this time and drop to a 47.8 lap. Last lap I pull out a 47.2 which at the moment leads my class until the crx manages a 46.8 to beat me by 4/10's to send me into 2nd place for the day.
All in all it was a good day, the car handled beautifully and I was able to carry a lot of speed through the course. The fastest car out there ran a low 44 sec lap time to compare myself to, so I'm about 3 secs behind the fastest cars which I believe one was an S2000.
I have a course map pic for now and some pics from the last event, I'll have pics from this event as soon as they're available.
I suck at MS Paint even so it's hard tell where the start and finish are.....Start is at the top near the center and finish comes in around the upper left corner is that help anyone tell which way the course worked.

I can't wait to see the pictures and track layout (so get on the frigging ball)! I know the site is having proplems with uploading (by my own personal experience)WTF
