5 runs each for the morning and 1st afternoon session. Worth the 3 hour drive home! 
Thanks to Leo's tip for the day, made the day much more fun!

Thanks Rob. Looks like Matt is listed at the regular STX group. Our group count will go down again. I wonder how GG is? Never been there before.

sounds like you got stuck in that gridlock on 156/1 like me! took me at least 45 minutes to go about a mile or so. they landed two helicopters for airlifts on the highway due to the accident that blocked all the lanes. 5 runs were nice, but after looking at the results, it would have been better for me if they only gave 3! 
nice job j!

Wow! Didn't know that was the case. I thought it was because of the farmers market up the road.
Didn't even notice that, Leo, about the 4th and 5th run. That did mess your position up. Notice the 63' time? I felt like Andretti and tried to go at it without braking after the long fast slalom. Big mistake! 180 degrees later I realize I should have slowed down.

Dang : miss ONE event, fall from first to third overall 
Oh well, had fun up in Reno. Was a bit wierd to see snow right beside the road (and matching 36 degree temps...at NOON) over the Donner Pass of I-80 though on Friday afternoon. It's JUNE, for crying out loud!
Leo : guess you're figuring out the G4 coilovers a bit more? Ouch, does look like you got sorta owned though by there being runs beyond the third run!

My fault, mostly. Was rushed along at the reg table and so didn't check my card to make sure the N was readable. So the card supposedly looked like STX, even though i was running STX-N numbers.
I spoke with Pat, which is going to change it for the records and the website at some point.
God runs Judd. Missed ya Rob.

i ran the same set up as last time (height/camber). didn't have time to tinker before the event. ran the fronts a bit more firm as the only difference (and mx's). we need to get these things dialed quick with only 4 events left! next decision, falkens or kumhos at ggf? ed, you going back to the kooks?

Yeah Leo, back to the Hankooks. Only reason I was on the MX's last time is because I had them on the car as "use and abuse" tires for the school the day before and quite honestly was too lazy to change them out that night 
Had the short/skinny MX's dismounted today, look for them for sale on E-bay shortly
. Will figure out something more useful (maybe a "rain" tire for SCCA Nationals?) to throw on those rims instead.
