You're right, Jesus, no one was having much fun at that event. That's why
there were so many people. They remembered what a lousy time they had the
LAST time they came out, and brought all their friends, too. The biggest
complaint I heard was, "This is not going to prepare me for Nationals, my
sole reason for living."
Fifteen total whole people did not lose to GS, including this M3 driver,
David Bonar in his BSP 'Vette, and more.
I am just sitting here amazed that this has become such an issue to a person
who didn't even run in the event. What's the deal?

I'll agree on the calmer approach to do well at that site, Jeffreys
RX7tt is not as high on HP as other ASP cars can be, like Campbells
Viper and I'll bet he didn't use 1/4 throttle on his last run(where's
the fun in that), the RX7tt is narrower than a Vette, M3, or Viper, fits
on the "clean" line much better. The results speak for themselves as for
condemning the Coliseum surface, Yes, it's getting better, but still way
off of what a good asphalt surface will give for traction. I'll also
agree we don't have many choices for sites, and as long as SFR makes
money, there's no problem, right? Sites like Oakland just aren't good
sites to train for Nationals in my humble opinion, I probably won't run
many events there. However it is fun to go and watch people struggle to
control their cars. :)))

P.S. it's not fun to have a big bad Vette and get beat by a measely
little Miata. IMO (I have run on that surface, and I remember it) ;-p
(that's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek)
