Eighty-one participants enjoyed our first autocross event at NASA Crows Landing Test Site on March 9th.
Course was designed by Praneil Prasad. Drivers averaged a lap time of 82.289 seconds, with nine runs – four in the morning and five in the afternoon.
Congratulations to Teddy Framhein (P-06) for TTOD of 74.260 seconds. Teddy distanced himself from the second-place finisher – Drew Powers (P-04), with a healthy margin of 1.298 seconds. Teddy plans to hold no prisoners this year with his GT4-RS Bumble Bee.
Congratulations Teddy Framhein again for the fastest PAX time of 71.884 seconds. Drew Powers had a say in the matter by staying within a mere 0.018 second of Teddy’s PAX time. BTW, have you ever seen this? Brant Ballentyne posted his four fastest laps in the following order -78.283, 78.236, 78.279. Rest of the drivers in O-04 class, me included, are begging for mercy.
