Glad to here we will be back! I really enjoyed the site and I think a lot of us will like to learn the new surface.

PICTURES!!! Big thanks to my... wait, didn't need a spotter this time. Not sure what do with this space.

*Note, I totally intended to shoot 3/4 of the event on at the wrong ISO for more digital grain in the shots. Yep, artistic choice.

Running at the end of the day did make the line options very limiting. I think a wider line would be faster but the off line dirt made it not a viable option.

Great event, thanks to those that organized it. Only my second autocross and first with FAST, but think I'm hooked. Can't wait for the July event.

Mike never wanted that. What you wrote is so funny in so many ways. Oldies do this for fun with old equipment. There needs to be a "'most expensive t-shirt" then you and Loren will be toe to toe for what you both spent this year for a shirt. :lol: Like the Grass Roots $2019. You'd both come up over budget there too. :wise:

I think you're grossly overestimating how much money I put into the Mirage.

There. Fixed that for you. We are being kind. :grin:

At least Rob told us he was overbudget on his last Stang. BUT his car is awesome. Renault owns Nissan and Mitsubishi and Fiat has offered to Merge with them making Fix it Again Tony the 3rd largest car company in the World. Yikes.

Philip also got the Season Points updated. There is still much to be decided with the last two events!

You still have another half-dozen events before you pass the record.
