Autocross in the Dallas Fort Worth area schedule September onward

Oops, I misspelled "schedule" in the title and I can't go back and change it. Here is the autocross season calendar through the end of the year.

I decided to list only the SCCA and Equipe Rapide events. I plan to make as many of these as I can.

SCCA Solo Event #7

Had a GREAT time today. My new Dunlop Star tires make the car handle like never before!

Mark and Sebastian Berry were the only drivers in FP today. Mark won with a 50.2 I think . Compared to my times of 56/57 I tell you that car is fast!

I ran in NSTU. about 11 people in class or so. I got 2nd place. My last run was the fastest time but I "coned" which means a 2 second penalty and got beat by a mini cooper S.

Speaking of next time -- one week from today is the next event. Anyone?

Cool. Did you happen to see either of the Evos run? I ran in the 2nd heat and the other ran in the 3rd heat.

man where'd you get the fancy letters?

ETA: I reverse engineered your raw time from the results... 56.77... which beats the STi in STU, but those dang civics are still stupid quick. Looks like the tires helped since you were only a couple seconds behind the winner of STU rather then 4-5...

Snagged this picture from the SCCA site of Sebastian running in 3rd heat with the new 16x10" wheels and slicks.

So I find out that tomorrow there will be three Evos running in the Equipe Rapide event at Pennington Field. GoofyGrin, Shimanchu, and me. This should be a lot of fun! Looking forward to it.

I also just noticed this means an Evo 8, an Evo 9, and an Evo 10. Should be interesting eh?
