I can sympathize with the lobster part. We worked in the yard all day and I feel like I belong in a trailer park with my shirt off holding a can of bud.

Saw this baller of an EVO with Hoosiers at Delaware Park. Pictures below.

I played a bit with the SST the first 3 runs, in the end I couldn't get past 38 seconds which I did in Auto mode with SST.

The instructor told me three things I need to do (1) need to look ahead (2) keep my hands on the wheel (3) do smooth arcs so I don't mess up my entry and exits on turns. Basically everything I should have learned the first 2 events I ran last year.

Can't expect to hear it once and just react that way naturally now... I think it really comes down to seat time. Best thing to do is make it out in another two weeks.

I not really completey pleased with the way I drove today, but it is what it is. Can't wait to get my first trophy though.

I'm definitely coming to the event on the 25th and see what all this hooplah is about auto-x'ing. Look like a bunch of animals dodging stationary cones (: . I'm even giving up a weekend at penn state. Debauchery > racing imho.

Cantor running the strong times with those flashy new shoes! I have been totally humbled. Let me be the first to say nice driving SON. I think you beat me by a second on a thirty second course, way to go man! Frikin Adam beat me too in my own car (by alot), I really had the suck going on today, frustrated! Funny besides a few mishaps the car was great.....

Here's a quick recount of my weekend, starting Friday night at 6:30 - 40 hours later I finally aligned the car at Sat. approx. 8:30 (correctly I might add or so it seemed today), got my *** handed to me today at the Autox by multiple people including Marc, realized I corded my front tire, locked my keys in my car after I loaded the car on trailer, got home realized I lost my spare set, proceeded to feel sorry for myself, finally found my slim jim, couldn't break into my car, realized the back window was open a crack, forced it down a little and managed to pull the lock and bang my weekend headaches ended!

I am 5 Budweiser's in now drinking my Autox sorrow away! After all that I can't wait to get at it again next weekend!

So this weekend I went up to my friend's mountain house to do some quad riding. Pretty good time but I had to share the highlight of the weekend with you guys. His dad had on of the local hill billys come to the property with his caterpillar dozer to level out some of the land for the garage he wants to build and level the front lawn as well. Now before this event happen there was a stream that was probably ankle deep that ran down the mountain on the side of the property. Let's just say it's not a "stream" anymore

sounds like one of those FML days. seriously though, with the weekend you had its no surprise you and your car performed the way you did. 48 hour alignments have to take away from the mental aspect of the game. either way, even if you were handicaped, it was nice to finally beat you and raw time Adam... I'll take it anyway I can get it.
