Confirmed, config #1 CW. I have run #13 CW before but it uses the sweeper instead of Star Mazda and is a bit quicker. I actually prefer config #13 because it is a little easier on the brakes. Going from 120mph-45mph to enter Star Mazda is murderous.

+2 votes for config 13!

+ 1 more. Love #13 config. It's a driver's course.

I love the run up through the S's in fifth gear from star Mazda... (Yeehaa)
You guys just need to coast from lost hill and you won't hardly even need to brake at Star Mazda.
Or just take another 500 pounds out of your cars.

So, you mean I was supposed to use the brakes at Star Mazda? Maybe that was why I was having trouble there!

I haven't driven #13, but it seems like it would have been nicer. I just couldn't get that turn right. Maybe I wasn't slowing down enough!

Sure was a great day though.

And, like Steve, I loved the run through the S's.

Here are the Buttonwillow GPX/GGR TT Results:

Overall finish is handwritten on the right. Due to late additions, we were not able to get everone's name in the computer. Also, Zone 7 uses a completely different classification, so all Z7 people were added in as X Class on our system.

Jad, every six months is about right for that link to show up here. It's a great chuckle.

Martin, that thing is priceless. It never stops giving.
