Kevin, Lonnie, and I will all be there. I believe a few other regulars will be there as well.

I'm going to take Lonnie to school...yeah right (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll just be happy not to embarass myself too bad. I'm already working on excuses like I'm only on old 275's...he was spraying nitrous...my magnets are heavier than his decals.

I haven't run against Dave Kutney in quite a while, but I'm sure I would get stomped by him. FWIW I pax anywhere from 8th-30th in my 130 car region-I'm very inconsistent.

My objection aimed at Sam was his trying to compare setups from the results-that is ridiculous.

I have run against Dave, and he's never beaten me. Not in the '82, not in the '01.
The whole thing that I try and remind folks of is that setup and test driving has to be done by someone consistent. If you aren't consistent, it's awfully hard.... ok, impossible to make reasonable determinations about the changes you've made in the car.

If you want to run a different setup, fine. I'm simply cautioning you that you might not have been best served by doing it when you know your driving can have you at the top of PAX or way down.....

My comparison is far from ridiculous. Both cars are ESP cars. Both are driven by drivers who are relatively inexperienced (a few years, few schools each). Both were run at the same time on the same lot. What's so crazy about that? It's not exact to be sure, but it's not ridiculous. I went from Hoosier to Kumho AT Nationals last year after looking at the exact same kind of data from the practice course and the ProSolo. Being that I'm not to wet behind the ears, I'm pretty good at interpreting things like that.
