Yea.. on the 550 straight. my car will do 90 mph in 3rd got into 4th on the 550 to the floor!!! Got over 90 on that rail road bed 400.. hairy for a second! My car is turbo.. probably a little more power than the golf.

Ah, the 550 straight ---uphill at least 10% grade. Golf had to go DOWN to 3rd at the kink near the top

Last year I questioned was I needed to work and was told no so I ran and you saw the CF because of a lack of workers. Because the roads down there are SOOOO great, I didn't want the same thing to happen again so (besides other factors) I volunteered to work instead of running. There may have been others that did the same thing? Plus it's definitley a RA vs NASA thing. Some won't touch the other.

I ran STPR over RWV because of a few reasons. Last year's mix up was part of the reason. I was also chasing points for RA central G2 championship and I obviously can't snag points at RWV.

I would have ran NEFR over STPR if they announced the Dmack cash prize before the entry deadline for STPR.

Still unsure what I want to run next year. But Eric pulling off an OA win at RWV makes him winning the ARC much easier and that would mean rally Tennessee would be back next year and I don't think I would want to miss that.

I about screwed up at the kink.... I tried to make it a straight and about dropped the driver front off.. Steve then told me to slow down a bit..hahahaha . should have the in-car up soon. You guys had a great run though.. Hope I can get to that level of pace in the future.. I was fast in spots , you guys where fast all around!!!

Yah, with some speed, the kink could definitely get you as the road essentially narrows in a left kink. We forgot the camera this weekend....boo

Thanks, fast, but only when I could pull it together enough to remember how to drive and listen to the notes at the same time. Not doing it for 2 years made for mostly dull driving on the first 3 stages --- lots of coasting through 5s and short straights that lead into 3s and 4s. The 23 mile night stage managed to focus my attention quite well because my vision sucks i really have to be in the zone at night and it worked out.

Remember - RTN or a similar scale event...

Too bad that no one else agreed to ante up and offer to organize an event!

RTN is in the works for 2013.... The gears are turning . Mr.Bowers is goin to make us proud here in tn! We do need volunteers. If anybody is located in tn and has some free time get at me! Got 4 people counting me on call and ready ... just waiting on instructions from the man!

I run STPR because it's the closest event to me, and I know a lot of the people there. So it's a really fun time for me. It's also reassuring to know that I can plan on running the event a year ahead of time, and know that it won't get cancelled for lack of entries. Only being able to afford to run 2-3 events a year, it's important to be able to plan far enough ahead.
