I wanted to beat Chris Lin so bad.. He is such a moving target -- especially in his last run.. I picked up about 0.7 my last run, but Chris picked up a whole second on his last run. The kid is amazing.
Very nice run.

I was not happy with my driving at all. It was my first autocross on hoosiers and a non-staggered setup with the stock sways. Needless to say the car was a bit oversteery Ended up 3rd in SSM, but I left a ton of time out there.
Whooaahh! I didn't know you were there. I would have stop by. Looks like it's time to invest money on Gendron. Man, if you will win SSM class, it will be your second Championship Class Trophy from SCCA.

I was in the afternoon session, but yea gendrons are expensive... and winning ssm isn't going to happen. I don't go to enough events (I think its been like a year since I was last at fedex), nor am I good enough at autocross. I just go to try and beat my brother, who I just barely lost to.

The Saturday event has been sold out for a few weeks and they are not taking walk-ups....so I'm not going.

Also, I was doing about 85-88mph last year at the long course.

That's always been the case, this is the first time I signed up for it in time.

It's all good. I'll be a Hershey Park PCA event Sunday. That'll be a more SCCA style course anyway.

Jeff, I think I might actually go to that one. I was going to do the VMSC event this weekend but I'm on-call for work so I axed that plan. I was looking around and saw that NASA was running at VMP on the 16th. I wish I had at least a pair of stiffer springs to throw up front before then to try out but I might just go as is and see what happens. Not sure yet. I haven't had the car out at an event since Oct/Nov of last year
