Results are posted

Pretty happy with how I did, but would be happier if I had managed to NOT hit that cone on the 2nd run.....would have meant my first ever SFR SCCA Top 20 PAX if I had been about 2" further away from that dang slalom cone

I'm getting closer on the G4s, but still need more camber up front.....have a couple of things working that should cure that. I did however get the shock settings a lot closer than last event on them....

I'll tell y'all though what I think was the "secret" to that course (not to mention, many GGF courses) : drive REAL conservative. The first run, I had a passenger who had NEVER been in an autocross car before! I concentrated more on being smooth and on-line that run instead of "attacking" the course so I wouldn't scare her . And at GGF, since getting off-line is such a penalty (gravel = NO grip), staying on line (which you're more likely to do when smooth) is really key.

Second run I got a LITTLE more aggressive, but not much. And it'd been a really good run if not for that danged cone .

Third run I started getting TOO aggressive, which meant getting off-line = screwed when at Gravel Gate

That surface fooled me. When we walked the course, it felt smoother than the last time I was there. And also looked clean. Pushing it was not the way to go,specially on my last run. I was out of line in a few areas and my entry into one of the slaloms was off.
