Default First autocross in my S2k

I have owned my 02 Silver S for about 4 months and last weekend ran my first autocross in her. The car has 55K miles, stone cold stock with new Yoko AVS ES100

Nice! I'll be at Brooksville sunday (fedex is supposed to deliver my test pipe saturday).
The SCCA CFR solo2 guys are a nice bunch of people. I haven't run in any of the east coast events outside the Sebring event, I mainly stick to the west coast events.

Brooksville registration closes 9 days before the event, so they can get the list to the airport personnel. Last brooksville event was the 5th and 6th, and we got in 10 runs saturday, and 6 runs sunday My tires and brakes were hating life by the end of the weekend

Let me guess...either Terry Tabor or Ken Marion? White AP1 or Silverstone?

Those 2 guys are blindingly fast.

It was Terry, yes. He drove my car for a practice run to show me what it would do and Wow, that was a whole other level!
