Phil Wicks Driving Academy - Roebling Road, GA 8/9-10/08

Just wondering who else is headed to Phil's event at Roebling Road. The roster Phil emailed out today looks rather lean but I suppose there's still time for it to grow. The "official" motel looks like a rather charming dump but at least I'll feel I'm saving my money for more vital things like - gas! Had a great day a VIR a couple weeks back - hope this is the same.

Yep - and I believe you're the MINI of Charleston gent who showed me the trick to getting the rear view mirror off easily - and since then I've passed that lore on to more than a few!

Another great event and a good time seemed to be had by all. Savannah's weather was atypically mild and Roebling Road's track and staff provided a challenging, fast and safe experience. Also, a special tip of the hat to Brad Davis and the folks from MINI of Charleston for their "trailerload" of support and the members of Georgia MINIs for making it all "peachy"!

For those interested, here's the results from Sunday's Time Trials:

One Lap TT

Group 2: Stock Coopers
Group 3: Stock Cooper S
Group 4: JCW's & Modifieds
CM: Counterfeits (Miata)

Lower Right: Top 8 Finishers move on to 5 Lap Timed Event




5 Lap Timed Event

First column times: Qualifier's single lap time multiplied times 5
Second column: Car #
Third column: Qualifier's time gain over 5 Lap benchmark in First column (greatest gain wins)

Winner: Chad Matthews in a modified Cooper!
