Howie! Can you post up the results for the different run groups? As you know, I had to exit the track just after running 3 laps on my first session 
because of a shifting problem with a newly installed shifter. Not being able to solve the problem at the track I drove the car to RPM Motors and the problem was fixed in 15 minutes. I then headed back to the track for the forth session. I made it back to within 5 miles of the track and then got a flat tire just before getting off the freeway. This ending any hope of me getting back on the track this day. Just maybe WSIR on October 15th. will be kinder to me.

Approx. times...
Me 1:50.3
Ryan 1:50.5
MagStar 1:50.5 (and out after the first session with a leaking CV boot.)
Saw a Radical had a 1:43.x
I left before the last set of run groups began.

Too bad RPM didn't get it right the first time ...... it cost you a lot of money and a lot of fun.

The best I ran in my Bolt on C6 was 1:57, that was on Bone stock suspension with my street tires... R888s
I did get some pretty good video in the first session, but am still figuring out how to upload and edit it. It's on a HD camera.
In the meantime, I did get a short and sweet canyon run into today, that ended with a few quick shots in the mountain with AMBER!!!
I'm giving out a copy of my new DVD Runway Titans to the winners of each class, unless Howie wants to do something else with them...
If one is lucky enough, maybe AMBER will deliver it to you!!!!

That's what happens when a far sighted person types on an iPhone several errors
DH video looks good, is that the same little camera you started with or did you buy something else ? I noticed that you guys stayed low and slow on the Roval bank turn, Good idea

The tire on the drivers side rear was totally destroyed by the time I got stopped. I was able to get from the fast lane to the side of the FW without incident. This was the only lucky part of my day along with being a member of AAA.
