Sorry about the lack of a reminder on this forum, but I only found out about this event on Saturday and Amy and I co-drove it with Paul on Sunday. Best autocross course at TMS EVAR! TMS infield road course with some slaloms thrown in for good measure. Still silly fast, rev limiter in the STi in 3rd gear. Yowsa! Stuck it in 3rd after first slalom/straight and left it there for the rest of the 62-ish sec runs.
Rained ALL DAY LONG. Less in the earlier run group, more second, and a little harder in the 3rd. We ran in 2nd. Paul had a smokin first run that ended up being unimprovable (and led the class into the 4th runs). He had max-cone-calls the rest of the day, with 10+ killed in 2 runs alone. Cone KILLING Machine! Punky had a great first run as well, that would have put her in 3rd for STU's largish class, but improved in increasingly wet weather to within 2 tenths of Paul's best. She did darn well for her first drive int he STi, me thinks, and won STU-L. I got a lucky fast 4th run that made for 6th in PAX. That car has got some PULL.
McCall's joined us in the RX8's Farewell Tour event, with some fast raw times thrown down by Jason. Yokohama Advans are pretty darn quick in the wet. STU beat BStock by 4 seconds - a class we don't always beat.
Check the pics.
You must make a point to enter this event next year. The course would have been insane in the dry - insanely FUN! It was pretty darn fun in the wet, and fast.
Note to self: GO BUY RAIN GEAR. 3rd wet event of the year I got caught out in the rain.
Note to Paul: buy a girdle! (threw his back out in the pits)
