Sorry, DEs. I know it's taboo to call it racing but it sure feels like it. Especially when you're in the top run group and get to pass in the corners
Passing in corners in a DE? I don't think so......

Jim McNemar had this same issue at Mid-Ohio a couple years ago... It's not "un"common.

Not every club subscribes to PCA DE rules...

How are you an instructor? I remember you running in Blue at ECR just a few months back?

Hands down, Chin is the best "DE" event you can do. Well worth the price of admission. Great people as well.

I just wish I was able to make this weekend's event but I'll be at the Club Race in South Carolina. I'll probably be at the Dec one though!

See ya then

You should try it before you knock it.

The last ECR event (Club race), I ran yellow. I may have started in Blue though, I can't remember! I'm in yellow with PCA but ran in white a few sessions last weekend. I run with the instructors in red with TDE. I'm an "instructor-in-training". Will start going out with students in a few months.

Mike, as long as you keep having great cookouts to fill my belly at the top of the esses, you can hang with stupid all you want!
