Well, after the 1st day in GS the Mini's are on top. Actually, there are only Mini's in GS at the Dixie NT, so, thats a given I guess. Anyway, the course is a very fun and fast slalom/transitional intensive course with basically a straight away down with a couple transitions with a turn-around and slaloms back with one transition and a chicago box. The leading time in GS in a 38.975. here are the results of the top 4 that I remember.

Mathew Jensen 40.5 +1, 39.4, 38.975

Per Oshlof(spelling?) 41.X, 39.0XX, 39.4 +1

Jeremy *** 40.5, 39.275, 39.X

Craig Wilcox 40.2, 40.0, 39.732

All I can say is Mathew Jensen, my co-drive, must have drove the tires off the car before I got in, because, he is laying the smack down on me. Ibasically felt I drove OK with only a .2-.3 slight boblle on my last run and the Way Motorworks car felt really good, so, I have no idea where he gained .767 on me, maybe I'm just too fat, lol, one thing we noticed was that from the start he was on the rev limit and I wasn't before the first major transition. :-) Anyway, I have a lot of ground to make up tomorrow so I am doing a rain dance tonight to hopefully shake things up a bit.

Anyway, I will update tomorrow night late probably.

Thanks Craig. I wonder how the Mathew is doing overall in PAX? I know they changed our index quite a bit for 2007. Also, what's the temp like? FWD's don't seem to do as well in the cold weather compared to RWD or 4WD.

Good luck. You can make up .767....no problem!

 

I'd say Matt is in the top 10 for sure. I do know Ian Stewart in a GT3 is SS ran a 36.X, so, that is probably a good bit better than GS. Its a higher HP wide open slalom transition course, so, I would guess the top PAX will end up with several higher HP.

 

I wish we were there. At least I'll get an idea of how the car handles tomorrow at our local event.

Good job guys!

 

Well, day 2 ended with disappointment, although, I drove much better today than yesterday, so, I am happy that I was able to get the cobb webbs out, it can only get better from here. ;-)

Per Olof 1st overall day 2 ? ? 39.0XX

Matt Jensen 2nd day 2 SPIN 39.2XX SPIN

Jeremy *** 3rd 39.3+2 39.3 38.9XX

Craig Wilcox 39.7+1 38.8 38.488

Jensen was only back 0.060
*** was behind Jensen 0.025
I was behind *** 0.018

Per laid down that last run to take the win, it was very exciting. On my final run(last car in class), I knew I nailed a good one so I was anticipating the time to be close, when I saw the time, I was excited, only to realize I fell just short of coming back from my Saturday deficit. I would really like to say thanks to Way Motorworks for loaning Matt and I the car, it was setup perfectly, I just wish we would have drove a tenth or so faster. ;-)Anyway, I'll be off to San Diego for the National Tour in March where I will have a nice new fresh set of Hoosiers waiting, so, I'm closing the book on this one until next season where hopefully I can return to the Dixie Tour to try again! ;-)

See you in San Diego

 

Well...I might not have made it, but I'm glad at least another Per won!

 

My first NT was blast! It was really great running with you guys and seeing what the next level looks like.

More seat time and an Evo school this April, so I hope to close the gap next year.

 

Yay Miniwildcat!

 

'Way' to go Matt!

. . . now get back to school!

 

What's the fun in that, I go every now and then . Course that .060 is seriously making me think I need to make a track out to SD and get the Qualcomm monkey off my back (ie no more 10 cone days!). Any got a co-drive, otherwise guess I'll be playing locally in Atl that weekend.

 

Per Olof is becoming a heck of a driver. He was the SCR SOLO driver of the year last year and he has the car very well sorted now. It doesn't hurt that he is a hell of a nice guy too. You can't be too mad losing to a guy like him.
