Congrats on the Nguyen, Mike! You and Aaron have been kicking some serious a$$ this year.


Nelson, I agree with the rest of the group. Two days, same course is friggen weak. Also, is that slip right, you were only 2.5seconds off FTD? Philly > Susquehanna, all day, err day.

If my PAX was lower than 10, I'd be embarrassed to post the results and make excuse about not bringing the right tires to compete. Saying

I actually did some auto-x this weekend too. I didn't come to Philly (too good for me), I didn't go to Farm Show (too many cows for me), but I did run just outside Reading with the Lancaster Corvette Club. We ran at a store parking lot, which was actually much closer to Reading than Lancaster. Only a 15 minute drive, so I decided to give it a shot.

Only maybe 45 cars, a bunch of Corvette's, a few Porsches since P&P was cancelled, and the rest misc. I was the only Evo. I recognized some of the P&P guys from the last few years. 3 runs in the morning, and 3 in the afternoon.

I was actually in first place overall after the morning session, 55.7. I knew I could do better, and did run a 54.9 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, one of the old race prepped Porsches ran a 54, and a Vette did as well, so I was 3rd.

The course was pretty nice. There were some fast sections, and I bounced off my 8k rev limit in 2nd on the one straight. I always find it funny when the old Vette guys give me strange looks, like who is this guy? They look at the ricer with the big wing, and don't give it much thought, until I run and they see the times. I think I ran a little better than I did at Philly last month. More seat time, you know...

Here is an outside vid of a section of the course. I have a bunch of inside vids, but I am in Cleveland this week, so I probably won't get them posted until this weekend.



Do you think my front lip hates me? (and don't mind the stop....I kinda overdrove that turn...oops!)
