I told you to get a re-run
Yeah, but totally wasn't necessary. I just wanted to show Tessa how much further she could push the little Mini into braking and the slalom. It was funny because she said "Woah, okay." which I thought "Woah, okay. Slow down.". So I let off and was just coasting to show her the lines. Then she yelled "Why are you slowing down? Go, go!". Apparently she meant "Ohhh, okay, now I see.". haha. Still fun regardless. I gotta get her a rear sway bar though, tons of understeer.

They did not record my last 6 runs, how the hell did that happen? They need more experienced people to list the times.

I believe you just added the 1 to Lauri's number, don't know if you covered the L. Either way, if they entered 127 SMFL in the laptop it wouldn't have come up with a name. If you did cover the L, then most likely they didn't see that. Does spicy have 127 SMF?
I don't know who was helping Pete, but the computer was all kinds of messed up and he was trying to figure it out at the same time. He's not a computer person, so I don't know what he did.

I know this is the autocross chat thread but I don't think most people in the random thread will care...
Anyways my Dad and I are in the process of making plans to go to Barber Motorsports Park on December 14-15.
If anyone is interested: http://clubregistration.net/driver/event_sign_up.cfm?event_id=4488
$425 for 2 days with Alabama Region PCA (Porsche Club of America).
Average high for Birmingham, AL that time of year is 56 degrees. There is a Hampton Inn right outside the track for < $90 a night. According to Google maps it is roughly a 10 hour drive from N-Ohio.

Has anyone used the DW's for autox? I want a double duty tire for my everyday wheels. I hate lugging the slicks to autox and would prefer to just save them for track days. I am between the DW's and the Rivals.
DW: price, mileage
Rivals: performance

I did, get the DWs. They won't have the performance of the Rivals but they'll last longer and they're very good in the rain. You won't set records at autox, but its a decent tire.

Mine were fine after 1 season with NORA, your car is heavier but they'll be fine. You're a broke college student, stick with the ones that'll last longer.
I've been running the Conti Sport Contact 2 (on the gold RPF1s) which were the predecessors to the DW's and I thought I would burn them up quickly but they lasted a really long time, and also great in the rain. I've got a set of DW's I'll run in the 2014 season.
