Especially considering all the awesome cars at the event! Special thanks to Mike Dusold. He delivered the car to us "concierge" style on Saturday morning. He and his guys worked until midnight Friday night to make sure it was ready for auto-x and speed stop challenge.

Tina was very nice. We chatted about our cars in the garage towards the end of the day Sunday. Too bad I did not get to meet her earlier.

Thanks! Yeah, my faster laps I was shifting in the transition onto the straight, and even used it on the back through the kink a few laps as well.

Duston - You were flying out there on the road course. I was behind you for a few laps and thought you going to lift your front inside tire on turn 1. It was barely touching the track. You were certainly balanced near the limit of adhesion and working it well.

Anybody else having USCA withdrawal? We cleaned up the cars today only to once again realize these events are simply a blast. Hanging with you guys and running the snot out of the cars is just so much fun. I wish we could do it 2x's per month...if only all the other events were closer. :grouphug:

Yes, me! I get back to Austin on Monday and will clean up TOW. I removed the banners, but she's still filthy. Then over to Eric's this week to make sure there's no damage from my off's. I do have a track day planned for the 17th, so I'll get a small dose of track, but without all the same camaraderie! Las Vegas is 3 weeks away. ;)

Yeah, the only problem with this whole deal was going back to work on Monday :headscratch:

I posted two gigantoid recaps of our weekend in my project thread, if anyone cares to check them out - https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...=15395&page=11

Also found this looking the car over - 'street' tires!

Mothers Wax makes a fantastic product called 3R...... Racing Rubber Remover. Takes that right off and doesn't hurt your finish at all.

Felt odd not touching the car this weekend. I've been steadily working on the car for 6 weeks straight and now nothing. I found myself trying to think of things to do to it while working on my backlogged list of honey-do's. "must not touch car". I could prob spend a month straight on those and still not be done with them. :waveflag:

As far as upcoming events are concerned, Im going to try and hit as many SCCA events as I can. Maybe I can clinch the CAM-S class trophy this year. (I don think there is anyone else running it) Pro-SOLO is 6/6 and 6/7. Im planning on being out there. I'd like to fit a track day in somewhere. Im not looking to turn the hot rod into a full on racecar and be a track junky but a couple track days a year would be fun to do.

+1!

I had a very busy March and now nothing for April and I'll be searching high and low for events in May and June. I cleaned the TA up this weekend and it sat, what a shame.

We could organize our own day out in Mineral Wells for not a lot of money, get 5-10 cars together and I think we could do it. AutoX in the morning and time trial in the afternoon... Just an idea.

Thanks, Greg, I'll have to look for that.

For some reason April is pretty sparse? The BMW Club is running on the 18th, and NTAXS is on the 25th, but I can't make either one, of course.

A double event at Mineral Wells would be a blast..
