Here are the results from yesterday's event. No matter how many times I mentioned it, I am sticking to my Snow tire excuse.

Thanks for putting the results up so promptly, Martin!

Anybody know the X class winner? Was it a Honda Fit? I don't remember seeing one of those running. It must be a very well-developed car to turn a 1:07, with stock specs for a Fit being a 109hp, 1500cc engine powering a 2500lb. hatchback. I've heard they handle very well, but unless it was hopped up a bit, that driver's hair must have been on fire.

There was a Honda that came through Start. But it was an S2000 Vrrrrroooommmm

Ya, I saw the red S2000 and even tech'ed it, but it's showing in the results as #6 in X class with a 1:13, and I'm thinking how did a Honda Fit beat it so badly (not to mention all the Corvettes and other X cars)? A very mean turbo setup on the 1600cc Vtec or something? But I can't remember any hatchback Honda running, so I go back to Greg's pictures and look for #629--mystery solved. It looks like despite what the driver (Ronald Ongjoco) entered for car type on motorsportsreg.com, he was driving a BMW roadster.



Makes more sense now.
