Default had a great time at Wilmington's autoX

i just got back
record timing this time 1 hour and 40 mins.
im just saying i had a great time the course seemed to be a lil slippery or just because i suck at driving
or the tires are bad or any of the combination.
i have decided one thing while on the way back...
i cant hear anything except ringing because of the droning from the exhaust so im gonna soundproof it somehow.
ill tell you guys how it goes

Mike,

It was good to see you again and glad to hear you had some fun out there. Hopefully you'll be able to make it out to the Tarheel autox on the 21st. They already have 109 people signed up and only 11 more slots open.

BTW I didn't think about at the event (jet lag), but next time I suggest you talk to some of the B Stock s2k guys and see what kind of tire pressures they are running and adjust your tires accordingly so that next time you won't be sliding around.

Jeff

BTW: one of the guys in the club took a bunch of pictures of the 1st or 3rd run group. If you want to find out if he has pictures of your car you can e-mail him at the address below:

bkoff@charter.net

Please include your car # and run group so he can identify your car.

You can see some of the pictures he took of my car.
