Can I register the Triumph for the afternoon in FN and help out the Euro guys?

Matt, have you seen the one like that with cops doing it on full-size MotoGuzzi bikes? Pretty impressive.

Anyway, reg is closed. We ended up with exactly 100 entries (and yes, I got Rob's co-driver in).

Semi-final count for the BYF Contest:
Euro - 17
US - 12
Mazda - 28 (minus Steve, Loren, Ron & Matt) = 24
Ford - 24 (minus Drew) = 23
Asian - 19 (minus Dave) = 1

That's after turning Gerry's "Veyron" back into a Mazda 2.

There are always no-shows, and who knows who they will be. So, it's too early to call this one.

Autocrossers are a crazy bunch...on a Saturday no less.

Yeah, but being "Early Session", you've got the rest of your Saturday free after lunch! Or you can blow off lunch and leave the event by 11-11:30 and be home in time for lunch... or a nap... or a nooner... or...

So when does the smack talk start? The event is tomorrow!

I've got my front sway bar re-connected and The Jag is ready to go. With my new tires being so awesome in the rain combined with the absolutely brilliant AWD implementation that Jaguar did I was hoping it would be pouring down on Saturday so I could dominate this event. ;) But it isn't to be, I guess. :*(
The Jag complains about autoX by throwing Gearbox Faults.
I think it is just lazy.

So you'll leave at oh-dark-thirty for work, but not for fun? Hmm....

I already called your car a Ford...you want more of that?! :dunno:

If you wanted pouring rain, you should have been up at Brooksville a couple of weeks back. On the other hand, if you're touting the Britishness of your Ford, you probably don't want rain anywhere near that computer-controlled AWD system.

I'm very tempted to do an instructor run in my daughter's automatic transmission Fiesta. 8-)

You can't get me that way. I'm glad it is a sorta-Ford; that way there are no Lucas electronics in it! :grin:

That would have been fun! :thumbwink:

Um, err ... Yeah, that. :derp:

When I fail to your greatness I was going to blame it on my automatic transmission, but maybe I'll have to use the excuse of a 2-year absence. :bangwall:
