I only had one glove on because the event was not officially timed so I had to start and stop the timer on my phone, and the touchscreen wouldn't register with the glove on, unfortunately.
Chicks dig me. April Fool's!

The chrome thingy is to keep the tires warm. In Solo, you are not allowed to use tire warmers or warm tires before your run.
On a separate note, the SF Region is blessed to have a lot of depth in their drivers. It isn't uncommon to be chatting it up with a National Champion at an event. Not to mention that they are all great people.
I had the opportunity to let a DSP National Champion drive my car, and he would have pax'ed within the top 25 of that event. That's quite a testament considering my car is a P.O.S.

Question for those that have done Auto-X and Track days: do you like 1 more than the other? AutoX days seem to be more accessible where track days you likely have to travel a bit more and ultimately spend more money.
AutoX runs appear fun and have a totally different approach than track sessions. But I feel like I would enjoy track days more. I guess I'll have to try autox sometime soon.

Once I succeed in beating Gagan I'll consider going to Nationals.
