First, a quick background: The first owner of this car had built it into a road rally ca. 1998 - 2001 (from what I can tell). I bought it from the second owner with a lengthy build list and some broken, unlabeled switches. So I knew it had an oil and diff cooler, but didn't know which switches ran ...

I really needed some quality seat time and boy did we get it.
5 laps per run = ~3 minutes (for us slow guys)
* 6 runs by doing both sessions = ~18 minutes
I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Did we actually get through an Enduro without anybody seriously ...

Freaking Mustang drew a freaking leak. Hope you all have a blast tomorrow.

Swapped my late session for that early one, in case anyone is looking to register. I don't want to be out past my bedtime...

You drive like a demon and take beautiful photos of all the other cars.

Thank you Loren and Steve - and everyone else involved - for organizing this event. And thanks to the gentleman who hit my kill switch while I was working the course, thus preventing a rogue cooler from draining my battery.
Beautiful weather, fun course, 10 runs! This was the perfect opportunity to ...

Looking forward to giving the new-to-me ride a shakedown with you fine folks.



If I can get rid of that new CEL...
Consider my registration optimistic.

If you ever decide to get a more nimble car, I think you'd surprise some people. Maybe even yourself. :thumbwink:
Maybe someday. That'll occur naturally in just over a decade, with less need for extra seats. Else, with falling prices on, for example: Solstice GXPs, I'd need a place to store an ...

This was definitely one of my favorite courses, too. Thanks to everyone for a great day of FAST autocross.
I wasn't expecting to be one of the loudest, but I'm also not surprised, given the girl's setup. Not straight piped, but probably sounds close at WOT.

Thought I'd try an in-car view for this ...

Don't forget to set your alarm clocks for Jan 2 2016!

This will definitely be one of the more memorable events, with the things that have already been pointed out... Great fun, of course!
Here's actual in-car video of me at the dip:

Awwwwww yeeeeah! Birthday autocross!

I forgot I was supposed to suck less and ended up fighting the car all morning, with cones as collateral damage. Still, a rough day of autocross turns out to be a great day! 8-)
Decided to just let loose on the final run:

Sorry, David. I'd probably do ...

It's like multiple runs to the grocery store. Oops, forgot the peanut butter. Oops, need some conditioner...

Now my favorite format

Philip, thanks for the great pictures - they are always good but you outdid yourself this time around.

Dan

Seconded!

As always, I want to thank FAST's organizers and many dedicated volunteers for a safe, fun event. Especially thankful that a majority of us survived the heat.
Great to back with you all, now that Joan is running again. Spent most of my time trying to figure out the new throttle response and forgot ...

It felt so freaking Drew good to be back in the cones after those couple months! Like some others, this is now my favorite-ever course. I suspect this was Loren's subconscious love poem to the G8s, with plenty of opportunities to make up time in the fast parts. Of course, the technical bits gave it ...

Oh, man! Can't wait to finally get my autocross fix tomorrow!
Cool and (maybe) dry...
