Autocross is exactly the same. Find the smoothest and most efficient line and carry as much speed as you can through the course.
Like a pickup line in a bar at closing.
although, i wouldn't want to be with the fastest guy....
You're safe with the Mayor, then. ;)

All of our courses are Mustang-friendly. They're just not Paul-friendly. ;)

Trash talk gets thick around here sometimes.

I think Paul is gonna make me take a run or two in his car at this event. Could be interesting.

Paulene is setting U up. Paulene is Paul on esters.

I'm thinking about an S3 sendoff.

If Shamu is still in my stable I'll come up with something = for sure. The shoe is thrown at O'bama's head.

Fixed that for you. How much more Mustang-friendly can you get? :twisted:

How are you going to do that. Strong breeze? Talk trash about it in the drivers meeting? Throw it a mean look in the paddock? :headscratch:

I figured I'd start by dumping the clutch off the line, turning tires into smoke, and then hitting some cones.

Okay, gang, my co-driver isn't going to this event, so I need to make plans to get a tow-vehicle to the event to move the trailer at 6:30am.

There are many solutions to this problem. The easiest and probably most fun would be for me to just drive my truck and whore a drive with someone in a reasonably competitive S2 car. Anybody in S2 up for that?
