I did some Auto-x'ing this weekend. No pics, I was flying solo. BUT, I do have a video of my best run.

Bobby, course was very similar to the last one but a little more wide open. A lot of 2-1 shifts (3 for me). A couple of little straights you car would have tore the f' up! Their next one is in July but it's Porsches only, so essentially, the next one for us is August.

Did pretty well. Ended up 2nd in class with that d@mn RX-8 taking 1st and having the overall fastest time of the day. Why can't he just stay home?!?

My best time officially was in the low 56's, though I hit high 55's one lap with a cone. Thing is, the cone I hit was a friggen staging cone before the timer was even tripped. They counted it against me. Oh well, I didn't want to be a poor sport and it wouldn't have gotten me past the RX-8 anyway.

No troubles with the dB's. I told the guy I put a different muffler on it. He recalled I was only about 4 over the limit and said it shouldn't be a big deal. Last I heard of it. w00t.

Dunno, is there a NASA event?

On a sidenote, if the weather is good I think I'll be attending the Nelson Ledges fun day this Friday!

Yup, July's going to be an action-packed month, Mid-Ohio then Autobahn. I don't know what's up in Joliet the weekend of the 21st, but I spent 2 hours just trying to find a cheap hotel. Finally popped for a transponder. I swear there can't be $1 worth of electronics in those things. Save me a safe spot, Greg. I don't want any Camaros running over my gear again!
