Talking won my first race this past weekend at Laguna!

w00t w00t!

qualified on pole at Laguna with a 1:46.4 on a wet-ish track. then, led flag to flag and ran a 1:45.8 in the race.

its been a few years of really hard work, and all of it finally paid off with a win! also, congrats to Sean Allen (blue blurr) for such great finishes for his rookie season... qualifying top 10 with a junkyard motor and battling it out with people with 8k motors and all the money in the world...

here are some pics:

yup, the red one is my hooptie. if you can believe it, it donated its red hardtop to the car you see in the photos above. the whole car was tub-up repainted winning blue from the 06 MX5.

hey thanks cory, its the MXL pista. it has a nicer display and is a lot more clear than the other ones. functionally for what I use it for it's the same but I think it might have more inputs or some other advantages that I don't take advantage of. i heard it has a real time split function to give you predictive lap timing but it didn't work when i tried it, that problem should be fixed in the next release of the firmware.
