I don't think you'd be comfortable driving my car.  Not meant for tall folks.  Seats are too uncomfy.  Engine in the wrong place.  ...and it's black!  Totally the wrong colour for you. 

Gary, thanks for posting that image of the times.

I made a short list showing how we all compared to each other, as well as some other participants who were within reach of (or slower than) me. All things considered (90 HP, street tires), I think the duke was quite respectable out there.

A Johanson   54.946
B Browne      57.319
G Johanson  59.773
C Johanson  62.637
K Butcher      63.646
B Powell        64.213
P Tran          65.043
P Sheridan    65.693
H Bowen       66.237
R Keatly        66.323 *
A Lee           67.096
D Lee           68.142
J Baryguk      90.704

(* This person's first run looks like 61.244 on the chart, but I can't believe that's kosher after looking at all his/her subsequent runs.)

With only 36 participants, we probably should've been able to get a whole lot more than 7 runs in apiece. However, the Corvette group are for the most part an older, laid back bunch and I enjoy the fact that they're quite friendly and not super competitive.

Ok, height in your car, shouldn't be an issue...but if that's your excuse, then I do challenge you you co-drive my car...I'll even come over for a visit and we can go for a cruise so you can get a little comfortable, and even have the wheel alignment done, etc...

Now I have to say, you had a DNF and a varience of 3-4 seconds...where's the consistancy?...other than two runs I had where I hit a cone on each (still only 400th's of a second off from each other), and the other 5 runs again only 400th's of a second off...that's consistancy biatch

Now average times even with your DNF, you had 56.391, I was 58.437...ONLY 2.046 behind ya Allan, not bad for a Fiero, thank's Coach, you always said it's about the driver more than the car...lol, I also had dinner at Ken & Brenda's where Gary & Pat were there, and they are pissed that I also beat all of them with their RComp Vettes...was a great day...Fiero Power 

Lot's of fun, really looking forward to the next event this Sunday and the challenge to Allan

Brian, it's all about being aggressive and hitting cones, not about being consistently slow. 

When I remove the cones (don't have the DNF-stop box time):

55.988 <-- my first run was how much faster than your best? 

55.841

55.874

55.544

54.946

54.153  <-- Ya, Biatch! 

Like I said before, I won't be there on Sunday.  I'll be at Mission Raceway.  So this challenge will have to wait until the next BCCC autox end of August.

Don't know if you really want to drive my car. You break it, you bought it! 

We'll talk.....and we will have a blast no matter what we do.  Guaranteed.   btw, kudos on crushing the Vettes!  Good to make them wince. 

Hey Brian....I was looking at the times because I was curious how much you beat Gary W.  Gary beat you!  So you have some work to do on Sunday to beat all four of them in their high HP Vettes.

Good luck!
