Wow, S0 was wide open this weekend! It looks like I'm going to be living in Maryland for a year and doing some stuff up here. So, have at it S0 folks! May be a good time for Doug to bump back up! :-)

You gonna put one on your Porsche, Tony?

Not a big fan of stickers on my car, but I might put one on my beer fridge with my collection of 2nd and 3rd place stickers! :-)

I'll leave this new sticker design here...

Unfortunately this event falls on a holiday weekend. I'll be hiking and biking in the Smokey Mountains. See you in November!

Tony that car sounds awesome and you are getting really fast in it. Glad I left S0!! 51 flat is really fast. You beat me by almost 3 seconds. Damn.

Thanks Doug! It's a really fun car to drive, and fortunately fast enough to cover up for my driving!

Wow, it was hot! I'm really glad I was signed up for the morning, the afternoon must have been brutal!

I get the dumb*ss award for today. Did 5 runs and never realized I was knocking over the cone at the start! Lucky that Ken was out of town, so still got a sticker. Would have been happier if my 51 ...

Chin let me run my Beemer and 911 with just factory pop-up roll protection at most tracks. I'm glad the new car has real(ish) roll bars though, seems like a better idea at Daytona. I'm really looking forward to pushing my car a little that weekend (advertised limit of 182)!

Welcome back Tim!

"brain-dead DNF"

Exactly! But, I have to say...driving this car on that course was the most fun I've had autocrossing so far! Only more runs could have made it better...

Another great FAST event. Interesting shorter course and the usual challenging TBD traction. Really enjoyed learning a little more about the new ride, and trying to get a little FASTer!

Congrats to you too Doug, you swooped me for 2nd in season points. I appreciate you racing with us in S0 this ...

Nice. Mine's gray actually. The silver with red interior is the most commonly chosen color combo. Not for me though.

Thanks for the good wishes Doug. Should be a fun event!

Response to the Mayor:

Bring your A-Game this month. I don't want to buy a 2nd set of wheels and can't get sticker tires for my car. So, this will be your best chance to beat me since the down pour days in Oct and Nov! :grin:

See you out there, can't wait to push my car a little harder this time ...

I hate to say it, but I'm going to be out of town. The bye goes to the Mayor this month. See you in July!

Thanks for the great pics Dan and Philip, even the ones with the cone lodged firmly under my car. Dan, you even got a few pics that show the cone marks all down the right side door, my first run had a few issues...

I like the sound of the exhaust mike, and you can't hear me swearing with it on!

Awesome event, and fantastic weather! Thanks to the Mayor for driving an unfamiliar car and letting me slide in there for a sticker! Was really fun driving my new car, but it will take a while to get to know it. Here's a video, as usual appreciate any coaching/comments.

Looking forward to the event Saturday, just about have my car broken in. Tough to get 2000 miles in over three weeks with three business trips!

Surprised to see the Mayor racing in the AM.

Anybody seen a course map?

TD

You're welcome Doug. Wish I could have been there! Picking up the new car this week, and working to get it broken in before the May event. Hope to see you there and give you some competition!

TD

Thanks Doug and Matt for the co-drive offers, wasn't in the cards this week. Doug, I don't know if it'll be faster but I like the new car better. Should be picking it up this week, will post a couple of pics when I get my hands on it. Google 2016 Boxster Spyder and you can check it out. One year ...

Doug will also be picking up my sticker this weekend! I unfortunately (or fortunately) got an offer I couldn't refuse on my 911, and will be selling it at lunch today. A little faster than I expected, as my replacement car isn't supposed to be arriving in Tampa until next Friday. Have a great event ...
