Not sure where the results are posted, but It was hot an the r-s3s are absolutely amazing tires. I drove the first part of the day timid because I knew how bad I slipped on the advans and my daily drivers, but once I got a feel for them I cut 10 seconds off my first run out. Now I just have to find their limits and I'll be doing a lot better. We only had 6 runs, but I think if I could have had the full 8 i could have shaved another 3-4 seconds off my time. My luck my two best times had cones so i ended up in 9th place as that was my fastest clean run. My best run was 5 seconds faster.

The course was really really tight and HUGE!! I had a hard time keeping a good pace just because I couldn't remember half the course. It was challenging for me as a newb.

We had some stiff competition so winning the whole thing wasn't the plan for me. I was hoping to win a set in the drawing but oh well. It was a good time. Jose had tire issues all day but we made the best of it. All in all it was a cool even, we got free t-shirt, bridgestone hat and birdgestone bag thing. A couple of guys won free set of times, batteries, and other coupons. It was a nice event. I'll get videos up this afternoon.

Worst course ever. But it was an ok event. The car is horrible on street tires. Had the course been a little more typical of autocross design I think we would have had a better shot. Congrats to all the winners!

Hi guys, sorry didn't talk much to you guys out there at the event. Was trying to hide from the sun cause it was so freaking hot out there. Not use to that.

But yeah, that was a long course. But it was fun
