Holy cow! That was fun!

Thanks to everybody that came out and enjoyed the autocross. And a personal thanks to those that gave me pointers. It was fun trying out a new form of racing.

Here is a little teaser pic. We ended up with 7 people driving 5 Evo's and 4 people driving 3 Subaru's.



Full write-up to come.

super fun for me too!!! havent been autocrossing in 5 years but i got right back in it with Tam co-driving with me. we shredded a new set of hankook C71 tires in one day... guess the pink panther needs some better suspension to support slicks


here are some pictures i took of people while holding the radio and flag and picking up all the cones knocked over by the subarus


Chris (WORD) tearing it up! i think he had the fastest time of the evos:


Todd, first time ever autocrossing, took to it like a champ!:



Jonathon, also his first time ever autocrossing. HUGE improvements from him from the morning to the afternoon.:


i tried to get a picture of justin/Garret tripoding the evo around the tight corner, but my phone didn't zoom


also huge improvements from both of them in the section i was working by the end:


Chris (fosgate) in his subaru at the end with his hoosiers on, spanked us all by a lot

That was so much fun. Thanks for the pics Todd/Kevin! I got a few of our cars on grid, but the ones in action are awesome.

I really hope everyone makes it out to the next one! I know I will.

I've been sulking (pouting) for the past couple of weeks due to plans of getting rid of the blue beast, but that has been put on hold until at least this summer. I will be participating in the upcoming drag race.

XL shirt please.

So sorry I haven't kept on top of things. I've got papers due this week and finals next week. But, Virgil is currently working on the next batch of shirts. Should be getting done over the next few days.

Stickers are all up at the shop. Feel free to snag one or two.

And the next event is actually this weekend! Import face off for all those drag racers out there. I'm going to be in a wedding and I know some of the other racers are going down to College Station for the NASA race at TWS.
