I'll be around...for Charlie and I it came down to either do these 2 weekends down south or do the Packwood Pro and Tour next month. We chose to do Packwood, since we'll need to have run 2 Pros (already ran El Toro earlier this year, and didn't wanna have to go south this month AND haul out to Wendover next month) in order to (possibly) qualify for the ProSolo Finale in Topeka in September.

Sorry dudes, migrating to a new datacenter over the weekend. Bent of Red Bull and red vines. Probably not this weekend but maybe the next one. Craig - dude, sorry to hear about the struts. Hopefully you can get it track ready again soon. Really want to see if I could apply what I learned in autocross school.

Fun event! I did pretty decent. Let's see. First run 72.240 +1, then 70.642, and last, 69.320 +3. Haha. It's cool I got a scratch time under 70. Good stuff.

I'm going to forget about today and think happy thoughts

I've never taken out 6 cones in a single run before!

64.2 on my third run .... till I found out after the finish it was +1

DOH! Woulda been good for 2nd in STS.

Watched the video, still not sure which cone I hit!

I'll try and get the video online tonight...

So how many cars DID Gagan drive today? And Edison, which car were you driving today? Noticed your Civic was in the pits while FSP was running...

Throw away any semblance of streetability and they start handling REALLY well

BTW, the empty trailer today was because I picked up the 86 Civic Si from Charlie's place on the way back to the South Bay this afternoon. Moved to a new place early this past month, will finally have the car at MY place and able to get more work done on it. Hope to have it ready for some runs during slush

Let's see. I know Gagan drove mine and he drove Rebecca's Evo. I think Gagan got into the 68's in my car. Hella crazy. I was only around the first/second run when he was in the Evo and saw him get a raw time of 64.xxx.

I can't believe I placed 3rd with that pathetic display!

It seems that everybody in our group was struggling with the lack of grip.
