OK here's my videos...

Run 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcFAd2EgxqA
Run 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA7Z7M3FhMU
Run 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJxNIKupmuw Sorry NewMREvoNyne... you ride you get on the internets
Run 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91htqnjl8YE

Unfortunately, no video of Run 5 (my fastest run).

La Grave is VERY dusty and VERY bumpy and I am not sure I ever need to go back there

So why would I let someone else drive my car?

Yet again, I am humbled by someone else driving MY car (and on the first time he's ever driven it no less!)

or he's REALLY bored

And Green Yarn, you really would have enjoyed it today... the course was GREAT for an MR. The white X was an MR and it was shifting to 3rd and 1st up an down... and I was having to make the decision and row the heck out of the gears. :-/

Results are up:
http://www.autocross.com/tr/modules/...ndex.php?id=74

In MY car, the first time he drove it, Jason McCall's time was .200 slower than his best time (although he did hit two cones).

Looks like my car + better driver = competitive. Means I need to get better at driving

Street Monkey in his SM Evo is only a set of tires away from winning SM. Those soft Toyos are holding him back.

And the Fair's Evo X MR is doing quite nicely ~.300 off of the winner in STU for Terry and an impressive win in the Womens class by 1.3 seconds vs a nice C4 vette for Amy.

Next year is going to be a fun year for the Evos in autocross!

PS: Even if the REO KEY Mini was in Novice still, I would have beat him by .5 seconds. I'm thinking the seat time with ratt_finkel is paying dividends!
