i forgot to try jason t's miata seat as he has an aftermarket one that sits you low. might be good to use with a bar.....mo money...
yo tyler. i got 1/2 of the 275's you need!!!!

i thought it was a fun course, short, but fun. i hope we can run a longer course, but overall it was a good 1st time at the stadium. hopefully we can resolve the quirks and wring out the problems.

I friggin' totally sucked. I guess 20 years of inactivity has dulled my "cone-vision", but hey it can only get better right? Despite the DNFs, I had a blast and I am looking forward to next months event.

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
Everyone likes to think that doing well in Solo 2 events is like riding a bike...you never forget.
I find that this is not accurate. Doing well in autocross events is more like trying to play a song with a musical instrument after a period of not playing for a while.
You just need to practice and get back those skills you need to do well in autocross, once you do, it all comes back to you.
Just like playing that song, you need to "relearn" those skills you once had.
I know... it sounds kinda Zen, but it's the truth.
