Lateral-g Forums - The Family Ride ('Burb)

We had a great weekend at Columbus Goodguys. On Friday, my wife and I hauled our two girls, our three nephews and one of their friends to the show. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law came out and we had a grill out for lunch. The weather was awesome!

I got three AutoX runs in on Friday. The first two were 46.XX and the third was a 44.5. The top guys were running 36.XX and eventually broke into the 35's. I got 3 more runs on Saturday, but didn't do much better. My final run, which was an unofficial "fun run" I ran a 44.1. It handled great, but the old 350 just has NO POWER to pull out of a corner.

The highlight of the AutoX for me was taking 9 people out (including me). Brian Finch, Dan Ballard, Cheryl Herrick, Yancy Johns, Mark Turner........shoot, who am I missing?

Here is a cell phone vid of it from Yancy - it was hilarious!

Here is a vid of my first run that my wife took on my cell phone. You can hear my younger daughter screaming - - she wants to ride!!

I know it will sound like an excuse (because it is), but I really think I could have been close to breaking into the top 4 if I had some power! That being said, Brad Grainger tore it up in his '65 Chevy Pickup to win the truck class.

I'll say it again - I love the 'Burb.
