Autocross this weekend
I ended up doing both!
Saturday - Got 2nd fastest time of the day with a 1:08.xxx. Fastest time was a 1:07.xxx. For my last run I dug deep and managed a 1:06.xxx but nicked a cone!!! Really fun but confusing course. Very tight and twisty. Casey - it was nice meeting you and it was good to see Phong, Jack, Mike, and Dan again!
Sunday - Got one of the faster times of the day - top 5 maybe? Probably top 2 on street tires? I think I could have done better but the last 2 runs sucked due to a MR2 spilling oil all over the track. I was a bit complainy about it (to almost bitch-like levels) and probably should have been easier on the MR2 guy (as he had just probably really damaged his car). I got dangerously close to the winning Evo's time when he was on street tires (I was on street tires as well). He then switched to R-comps on his break. He may have won, but I'm glad I forced him to work for it
. Phong, Jack, Mike - nice seeing you guys again. Joanna - it was nice meeting you (stop lurking and post more!). Garrison and whoever that was in the yellow S - thanks for stopping by to watch!

Took them long enough!
I have no idea how I shaved over a second for my last run. And instead of video, I have a nice photo of the coures start
One day I'll beat Jeff (on equal tires).
I think this weekend is Salt Creek's Marque Madness event. Go out there and represent the H!!! (and the A). Wish I could make it...
