Put together a composite of Sam, Sophia and I...it'll be at least three years before we're all back in the same place to do this again!

Re: July 26 @ Tampa Bay Downs
Here's my buddy's video of his first run in his JR CR-Z. His TPMS started freaking out after that run and traction control started randomly kicking on, so this is the only video he took.

The cones look much further apart in these videos than in person...

That was the quietest run I've ever heard! I had to double check my speakers were turned up.

One picture I got...copied another for the perspective...of course a Subaru takes center stage!

Re: July 26 @ Tampa Bay Downs
Also looks like someone has a nice 69 Nova project going on ! I had a 70 Nova 350 auto with 4:10 Dana rear when I was 20 something, it was dark blue with corvette wheels. Damn fast light car, another great one that got away...Tim_M wrote:One picture I got...copied another for the perspective...of course a Subaru takes center stage!

Re: July 26 @ Tampa Bay Downs
Yes, there are several of us who'd like Tim to finish assembling the Nova and drive it to work one day.

Re: July 26 @ Tampa Bay Downs
Guess I have to figure out how to lock the site down to keep the riff raff out... 
Yes the sale of the Corvette enabled a 'refresh' of my first car (nearly 30 years ownership).
Unfortunately it won't be an autocross terror...only quarter-miler.
Appreciate the comments.
I appreciate those who post the event images...always tough to get yourself doing something cool (or spin upon launch-surely someone got that on video...).
Eric G...I suggest you get free entry fee in exchange for some of your speed pics of the event!
