70 bucks isn't too bad. maybe for a college student it is. if it were a credit card it's easy to dispute. if it's your debit card and they took you're cash, that's a bit worse. someone got my debit card and bought a computer from dell. i went through dell hell to cancel the order before my money was gone.

If an Autoxers are close, get down here and win the iPad!

I'm not sure how much longer they will be here though.
yeah as you know josh chu robert and my neighbor did it first thing this morning. it was great this morning. if you just did the autox course then you missed out on the other course which was better laid out IMO. i didn't like the s60 at all. I liked the audi a4 and bmw better (the beemer was easier for me to drive. i don't know if that's because i'm used to driving one.).

we were able to do like 6-7 runs back to back. i really got time to figure out a line and pace to get through the course. it was probably the most helpful autox experience i've had so far.

chu said that the evo school is back to back runs. i'm doing that for sure next year.

I did one run on the practice course. I didn't think they wanted people racing on that course. The sad thing is, the practice course was a much better AutoX track than the ACTUAL AutoX course. It was way too tight and the turns were awkward.

No one will touch my 15 second run. I'm confident of that.

Tim with the white X ran at the porsche event and he's a diehard drag racer and he was making better times than chu. Some people can just let it rip. I'm still a ***** and know I can push it harder.

I'm not making excuses, but I would like to remind everyone of the conditions that day, and the ingenious tire choice on my behalf!

Thats the one reason i wont use my debit card for online purchases. If they get my credit account number fine, that can always be taken care of. But a check/savings account is a whole different story.

I called chase and got everything fixed. Its just frustrating when something like that happens.

Sorry i left without saying goodbye to most of you... I know a number of you were working out on course.

I can't believe they don't have results up yet wtf!

Dan & Josh and James, glad you guys could make it out. Kinda funny that you guys keep getting these either super hard or super slow course's when you come out... It can't just be a regular course.

Nice meeting you James, sorry about the wheel.

Have a good one guys, I'm at training seminar all week with no puter.
