This will be my last event for a while. Hopefully the FASTiva has enough tire and I have the talent to leave with a mic drop.

So new wife is setting your limits all ready? Cones in the house? I didn't start auto crossing until I was 46. Of course I was drag racing first. The guys made fun of my dresses and they wouldn't race in the rain. Wimps. So I started auto crossing.

Ben gone. Wow. He is heading into the Appalachian trail hoping not to become a "Deliverance" oink, oink. Poor Ben. So who actually has a "spare slave cylinder" in their garage? Ben did. We wish you well on your mountain journey trying to live down being Loren's bitch for 1/2 a year. Now Loren will be Steve's bitch for the remainder of it. :lol:

Lol I don't think I have limits yet. I'm sure there will be once I get a catastrophic failure from Autocrossing. But I try to make that not happen by gently rolling off the starting line :thumbwink:

Tony.

You notice that Ken is running in the PM? His son Sam is running a Civic.

Why does Ken keep telling me I don't have to run in S0? He must know something?

I may not always get beaten by him. I have to drive like I used to when you were the "victim".

So, the prelude is HS, but has 205 width tires. Do I really have to put it in S4 with all season tires? :-D

Waidaminute! My wife's accord has 195 width tires!
