Default Cutting it close.....



I managed to miss it!!



Little body roll from the grippy new Hoosiers.

I thought I saw a good pic of "DiscLarry" but I'll let him post up what he wants.

Mr. "Raybaer" working through a corner....

Someone was autocrossing a Chrysler 300 and an 80's Mercury Cougar?

Somehow autocrossing doesn't come to mind when I think of these barges.

Here's a picture of me with a useless navigator.



That was a pretty challenging course. I honestly thought I nailed the last run, but it was only 0.02 seconds faster than my 5th run. I felt faster through the start, I know I was carrying more speed at the end of the straight, and I was on the gas earlier coming out of the Chicago boxes, so I figured I was going to be half a second faster, not essentially identical to the run before.

To be fair, the Cougar did have raised whites, which has to be good for at least half a second.

I learned early on in my autocross career not to mock cars that seemed out of place. One of the fastest cars in AZ when I started out was a 1978 GMC Caballero. For those not familiar with that car, it was the GMC version of an El Camino. That sucker was *fast*.

This one is my favorite shot from the event (BMW Power!):

LMAO on the navigator comment!! Ray is like me and doesnt try to distract the driver.

I know the feeling, I shot myself in the foot my last 2 runs blowing it at the top of the straight. I thought the course was a blast.

We had a Phaeton come out last year that despite it's weight and size was definitely not the slowest cat there.

The 300 is my manager's father's car, I guess he was just doing it for kicks.
