any course layouts to look at to compare with those times? ^^ -- exciting stuff - i'm interested to see how i do with zig zagging cones - i think i might be ok at 180's, although not common accept for around town because i'm always lost lol but turns that don't allow an apex are weird - even on road courses - typically requiring you to go straight to the edge of the track and turn in and line up for the next turn - the blimpyard in houston has some turns like that all over the place -
You should stop guessing and come find out how you do.

Mike, I actually find AutoX a bit more Challenging than the track driving....I guess it's because your not turning sharp and braking hard while on the Track.
I just like the Track because you are at higher speeds and I like the Twisties and elevation changes.....reminds me of the Canyons in So. Cal.
You should come out and just be a passenger at the least !

If 2013 is anything like 2012 we will see Travis spectate two events and Mike will continue to post OLD track day photos and pretend like he's coming to the next event.

You would first have to DRIVE in two events before I would pay for your third one. 
There's some incentive. Buy two events get one free!
I told ya we're gonna keep on you about it. Heck there are actually a few events left this year.

They just posted the NTAXS 2012 points winners.....Congrats to Armstrong also ! He drives the S2000.
And here is a video of without the split screen...I think it was the second best run of my times which was 58.381.
And the 2012 points awards just goes to show you guys that if you don't sign up and drive...then you won't have a chance to win !
I had no idea I could get this until like the last 2 events so I made sure I did them to try and get it....which I was lucky enough I did.

^ My name's not even on that. I should be 3rd, in terms of points, I think. They must not like me at that group, lol.

Chris, you sure the events were with NTAXS or BMW ?....I get them all confused as well. It wasn't until the end of the season when I was informed that I could win it that I paid attention to the NTAXS events vs. the others.
I know next year will be a hard race for it with you & Scott...so I will have to attend as many of them as possible. Like I stated above...you have to sign up and drive to get the points.
Maybe next season we can organize another VQ competition and collect some like $5 bucks an event and see who wins that ? it was fun when Gavin organized it a year or two ago.
What do you guys think ? Maybe we should put out a FB survey and see if we get peeps to do it for this next year.
Who's in ?
