I ran a local event yesterday at HPT in Topeka. This is the new solo 2 location for Nationals. Kudos for Gary Kramar for winning both days. His Dad, Ed also did well and watch out for the young Macabee, he kicked my butt on a car that is new to him. I was not disappointed with my car, or my driving, just very disappointed in the new surface. Apparently, they are going to set up Nationals with an East and a west course, because there is only a North entrance. We were running 60 second courses using the entire pad. My guess is that Nationals will be two 35 second courses? The new pad has had 3 autocrosses on in and it is still slick as snot and has some weird milling in some areas, like they were trying to do the California rain grooves. Anyways, I hope they get this mess figured out, soon. I will take the rough as hell Forbes field over the smooth HPT surface anyday. The temps were in the high 80's both days and plenty of sunshine. Maybe it will just take about 3 years of mother nature to let the asphalt lose its "greeness." Bill Schmidt 88 Red Devil Kawi
