For a first time out I had an OK time. Yeah, I had some problems to work out. But I drove it home so Na-Na gonzo
In addition to the fuel issue, they had assigned me a number that was later used by someone else. After my 1st run the other driver noticed it and assigned me a different number. That prevented my times from being listed as they must have gotten confused to who I was. I had to mention it to them before the afternoon heat. Even then my listings for the afternoon heats were listed later than anyone else. I must have missed a gate somewhere during the first run of the afternoon but didn't notice until after I got home. So I got a DNF for my 2nd run too. Had I known earlier, I would have run slower and watched more carefully for my mistake. As I was waiting for my 3rd afternoon run, the sky opened up. I sat for 15 minutes while racing stopped because the rain played havoc with their timing lights. Chalk up one for a Locost hardtop! I checked the weather map and it looked like another 30 minutes of rain. So I packed up and left early. I spent about 10 hours there, working a corner for about 1-1/2 hrs and got in a total of 6 minutes of driving. This Autocross stuff may not be my cup of tea. We'll have to see. They were having timing issues all day long. According to the listing, Graham had FTD of ~11 seconds for the ~60+/_ second course. Not bad Graham, if it were only believable!
Had a good time and met some nice people genuinely interested in the Locosts.
