Thanks for all the replies! I am dissecting every word you guys are putting down...
I worked group 2, and ran group 3 and ran home after that to my family. =) I wished I could have done a ride along in group 1; my only "free time". Since group 1 happened so early, are people open to being approached at the grid by a stranger asking, "can I ride along?"

This was an awesome event and I hope we can revisit this venue again.
I'm still trying to figure out how I ended up with a fast lap of 1.21.
Post the times!!

Well that was a fun event dispite my dnf and 1.34 best run
My girlfriend did got some video, but the only subies were mine and Subie OCD's. I didn't manage to get any pictures either
However, if anyone has any video of car #21 (silver bugeye with unpainted morettes and an sti wing) I'd love to get a high-res copy.

Results are up. From the email:
Thank you everyone who come out to our inaugural RallyCross event at

http://www.sfrscca.org/RallyX/scoring/standings2006.pdf
Coming up next month, October 21st, is the last SFR RallyCross for 2006. It
will take place at Thunderhill Park in Willows, CA. Please visit our site

post them as I receive them. Also, if you took photos at the event and would
like a link include on the Gallery page please drop me an email.

damn DNF screwed me over. if I did about the same as I did in the 3 runs I finished I would have gotten 7th place most likely (out of 9). Its not a big deal to me though, I go out there to have fun rather than shoot for first. I dont mind spending some time going sideways rather than forward

I don't think many people mind giving others rides. I don't mind at all, but if I start with someone in the passenger seat I like to keep it filled for all my runs. I tend to cut some cones pretty close, and changing the balast in the passenger seat may change my apex by just enough to kill some cones. Amazingly enough I didn't kill any cones this time! On official runs at least.
I did get a too trigger happy around #8, spin a bit, then have to sit there for 6 long seconds as the dust cleared so I could figure out what the hell was going on. Probably a good show for the station workers at that turn though.

If you make it out to the event next month hit me up for a ride. It'll be fun.
Also, Megan won't mind - each run she was like "are you sure no one else wants to take a ride" but no one had asked.Generally the turnout at Thunderhill is lower which means more time for fun runs. Given that it's the last event of the year hopefully we'll start on time, run a tight ship, and have plenty of time to play at the end of the day.
