    Man, I'm slow.

    So, what do you get when you get a driver that's taken a 4 year hiatus from cone dodging, stick him in a car that's only been running for 2 weeks after a year+ layoff, put in a bigger motor, new brakes and a set of non-heat cycled 205 Nittos?

    A handful, that's what. Rust is fun. You kids and your "seat time", pffft.

      I haven't ever autoX'd but some of those spots don't even look big enough for a car while its turning. Looks fun

              If you want to get technical. The motor isn't actually any bigger.

                  It was a two day "let's see what I can break" event, I've got putnam next weekend, so I just wanted to shake it out a bit first.

                              competition.. and it's cheap fun. unless you're club racing with a dedicated track car, lapping days aren't racing either.

                                      Oh sweet, someone set that cone up up side down.;)

                                      It wasn't that bad but at least you shook the rust off, I hope.

                                                      Sucks I missed the event, that course actually looks fairly different from what we normally run at Cooper. And of course being able to run against the Evo again. Not that I have a car to even remotely compete against him anymore.

                                                          The second course looked like fun....
