Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
Today was awesome. I think my best was an 88 clean run. I can't wait till Warminster. I have a lot to learn but the evo seems to hide some of my driver flaws. Nice meeting some of you guys that I haven't met yet.

Today was definitely a lot of fun. The course was huge, leaving me to wonder why we don't do more events there. Highlights of today: Mike likes the *** around, and he yells out "slow down," and "get on it." You're a pretty sweet dude Mike. I'll definitely use you again in the future. Best part though...mini-bar per Daniel's trunk.
today was a blast. i owe tim big time for letting me use a few months of tires.
i'm happy with how i ran today. although i wasnt the fastest i definitely feel like i redeemed my reputation that i helped maintain at dover.
i found it funny that everyone was saying that i ran better today because i wasn't driving my car. to me, it was the course. i planned to take it way easy on tim's car and just be happy to be out there. i would have driven my car just as hard if not harder.
also tim's car felt good. there are some things i wish he had that i have but then i feel wish i had some things he has.

Looks like I may have to come to more of these things. Each time I go, I like them more and more.
Definitely a fun course, but I drove like crap. One of those days that I knew exactly what I was doing wrong, but I just couldn't put it together. To add insult to injury, I flew in the afternoon, and had a real ugly landing.
I took Shane along as an instructor for three of my runs. He co-drove the white STU STI in the first heat with Josh. He did a great job instructing. We spent about ten minutes after each run discussing everything. Easily the best instruction I've had at an AutoX.

Aaron's car is pretty much is set up and Autox ready, all he had to do was buy the car (for way less than what I have into mines) and a set of Hoosier's? WTF, it took me 5 years, an obscene amount of $ and my car is only marginally better than his...WTF 
- BTW Thanks again Aaron it was a great time today that I did not expect to have, you the man.
Course was great today, I loved all those sweepers. Nothing is better in an Evo than on-throttle steering, love having that bish floored and the *** end coming around totally in control.....its my happy place! There was also some challenging pinch spots, like the 3 turns before the finish. If you were not looking ahead and not braking early on this course you paid the price, really hammered it home. I totally got caught fixating on the gate/cone that I was coming up on and not looking ahead, Aaron totally screamed at me to slow down and not blow bye a right turn, totally ignored him and was 10' off the cone. That was the right before the 2 lefts to the finish, I never did that right until the last run which ended up being my fast time. The crossovers from lot to lot were much fun too, we were really hammering it through there.

BTW, next time I'll reach over and slap your helmet
I should have said "look right" instead of slow down or brake. You had it figured out on that last run, though!

the warminster events might be closer to you. there may even be a chapter closer to you or you could even join the north new jersey region....not that you aren't welcomed to run with us in the philly region if you want to make the drive.
Awesome time today! I'm glad my car made it into the 73's it's first time out on hoosiers... Even if I wasn't the driver 
. Looks like Marc and I will be having a nice driver battle this year. I'm curious to see how far we got knocked back in PAX, but it was fun being on top for at least a run or two
