I had my yellow EVO the week before at Miller Park. I was driving my black Mazdaspeed Protege on the 12th. I don't know who owned the silver EVO -Erik

If it had all-season tires, I know who that is. I had my white one there the week before.

Nope my Mazdaspeed is Black. The orange one belongs to Matt Kasubaski in Madison. He usually autocrosses with the me in the Madison events. White EVO- You're Jon right? -Erik

I got a 71.138 on my third run. On my fourth I got a 70.888 but I hit the very last cone right before the finish lights. nuts. I knew I could still go faster so my last run I was doing awesome. Probably a 70 flat. I got so excited I completely blew past two cones by corner station 4. DNF!! Only one I had that day. Oh well. www.madisonautocross.com results. -Erik

A lot of people that were used to racing in the regular Milwaukee SCCA events were pretty upset. They thought the course was too hard and they DNF'd a lot. I think the Milwaukee SCCA courses are too open and easy to figure out. The course that Madison had was really technical. You had to really pay attention to how fast you were going and exactly where you were. A lot of people were driving too fast into corners and then not being able to make the next turn. I liked it. Oh well -Erik

I can definately say the last Milwaukee SCCA event I was at was very open. It had a slow S along on side, but with the Evo you could keep your foot in it the whole time. I actually almost had to shift into 3rd down it - except I had too much air pressure in the rear tires and had the Evo snap sideways on me at a pretty good rate of speed. First time I've ever spun out - was quite a rush! The next three times through that section I nailed it correctly - all I can say is "WOW" - the Evo is amazing!

I go to about half the Milwaukee SCCA events cause they are big and open. Its quite a change from the ones I'm used to. -Erik

oh it was a lot of people from Milwaukee autox huh, well them and their "big" cars didnt help them this time! hehe, i liked the course cause it gave smaller, FWD cars more of an advantage and i thought it was a really well laid course.

Glad you liked the course. Most of the Madison autocrosses are set up that way. There were about 130 cars that day. I think 25 or so were from the Madison club. Maybe more. -Erik
