I had an awesome time. The weather was beautiful. Glad to give up the AutoX V-Card, and will def. do it again.

For those of you who saw me pulled over Saturday after the event, I had a lug nut that had started to come loose, quick fix, but lucky I caught it when I did!

When I first left the air field, I heard a very slight squeaking, I actually thought it was my suspension. Pulled over and felt one lug was a bit loose (by hand), so I retightened all of them and retorqued them when I got home.

100 of the photos from the Event can be found at http://daveandkate.net/AXSchool

The posted photos are unedited and low-res. I will make edited, hi-res versions of the pics available upon request and for a small fee. Examples of edited pics at 1/4 size can be found here (Dex) and here (Scruffy)...you should right-click and download the images as they are about 18MB.

I have many more pictures of each car...please email me with any requests and identify the pictures by number.

===Now for the video===

Very nice dave, you left about a second on the backend mainly due to speed, there were a lot of power straights back there.

Yeah, I was wayyy too slow after the tower...I never really got a handle on putting the power down early enough AND I was on the brakes too early, I think.

We'll have to stagger ourselves in the grid at the next event so that I can tag along for a couple of your runs.

I was saying the same thing to Dex. It would have been nice to get some external opinions on how you were handling some of the elements that we would have been working at.
