Should be 100+ entrants. There will be some walk-ups and a few of the organizers are not on the list. Can't wait to watch the new and improved UMD FSAE car go with Mike Stanley behind the wheel. Overall FTD and PAX winner at Nationals....

Hope you all fun at AI. NNJR SCCA at the meadowlands was kickass. 7 runs on a 65 second course. 7th in pax / 120+ wasn't bad. Car is better with sway bar adjustment

AI was fun, but I had one of my worst days in a while. Capped off a less than stellar weekend of autocross. I spun during the finals of the PAX challenge at Cumberland on Sunday.

Nice to meet you, Jeff, and very solid last run!

You too! and Thanks! I wish I had gotten a chance to see your runs.

I'm glad the weather held out for us, just over the line into VA and it started raining again.

Today was a great event but I was not crazy about the course. I had to downshift 4 times (don't think I've ever done that) on course and hold first through the first hairpin left. Compound that with a less than sticky surface, it took me til my 4th run just to figure out the fastest way around. It definitely gave you something to think about. Not that I'm complaining either, any day autocrossing is a great day.

Usually Sam's courses are pretty open and fast....today was a bit of a curveball. It is the first time I have been raw timed by ESP in a few events. The big tq and wider tires let them just dig out of those tight radius turns.
