A-ha!, look ahead, think ahead.
Tnanks for the insight, evil Ron!
See you Sunday?

Don't know a darn thing about MR2s, so I can't help with your setup, but
I am the evil course designer. As far as having a bad day, how your line
was in that corner? Did you notice in the walk through that the box was
18 feet wide while the rest of the gates were were 15? I opened it up
during setup the day before to make it less painful. There was actually
a lot of room for a small car to get through pretty quick if you flirted
with the cones on the right side guarding the dip to set up entry into
the box. I think I entered that turn with the left front wheel to the
outside of the right wall of the box. Maybe the Porsche driver realized
something you didn't? If you came closer to straight on to the box, you
would have had a very tight turn to negotiate.
Didn't see your runs, so I'm not passing judgment, just pointing out
that seeing a "box" may have made you psychologically turn a tight
corner into a nightmare hairpin.
