You just had to post the pics of Jackie in the grass didn't you. Is this because you squeaked by her in timed runs?

Great pics as always!!! Sorry I missed it.

She told me she was resting. That she was tired and needed a break

Katina took those pictures. I just posted them. You'll notice that due to a substantial cash donation, there are no videos of any spins at this event.

Nice work by Katina.

I see they put the chicane in after the infield dog-leg (turn 9 is it?) and before the infield straight. Boy I like that section. I hope the DE chairs instigate that chicane at the DE in May. It makes for a nice transition onto the straight, and keeps the overall speeds down a little going off of the infield straight (easier on the brake pads). Maybe we can get a consensus on having that chicane before the infield straight? Just a thought for another thread.

Mark, Jackie is just saving her energy and car for later in the season. Better watch your mirrors.

Lower speeds? Maybe for you, Dan. Unless I'm passing (another car, not gas), I don't lift going through that chicane, so it doesn't exist for me.

What Paul said. Both chicanes are flat out unless passing in the chicane. I did do a pass in the chicane after turn 9 once flat out.

Everyone was flat out through there unless they were off line due to traffic.

But we weren't drivng a 3.6L 911SC with 225's on it...
Dan you may want to rethink the flat out option there...

What Mark said. In my day, driving in the Instructor's class with a 3200-Lb, 125-RWHP 944 "Great White Wonder" I was always in traffic, and always passed/"challenged" through the chicane. Flat out? Yeah, in my dreams. I was actually forced off-track there (Steve G. remembers the front sway-bar repairs, yes?). So ... now that the chances are slim that I'll have "as much" trouble through there ... maybe flat out is an option.

Regardless, are you all saying you don't want the chicane?

Keep the Chicane, just back the big tire barriers out a little!

Already done. I called the track on Monday after the CFoS and asked them to back them off the apex for the DE and use tall cones to define the apex, one filled with concrete....

So the chicane will be in? Sweet!

Instead of a concrete-filled cone, borrow Carl Scragg's "Magic Cone" and give the controller to the Corner Worker! Now that would be fun to watch!

And from what I remember, Chuck and Leigh have it out for those tire barriers. Right, Chuck?
