Slept in till 9. Ate breakfast at 11 and headed out to the racetrack.
I was greeted with some of the usual faces. The Pozzi's, Mr. Alcala, Hobaugh, and last and certainly least, Cris Gonzalez and his latest creation, blue balz that still hasn't got a nut.
In all honesty, I think Brian has bleed that thing dry and them balz ain't blue no mo.
Back to my car. The autocross was a 1st gear good guys type autocross but I had a blast. This was the first outing with the new AFCO rear shocks. I tell you what, the car was good right from the start. Within my first 5-7 runs I clocked a 28.1 which was good for 3rd place for the day. Mary ran a 27.3 and Hobaugh a 27.4. I have alignment changes planned and I may go back to my old front compression setting to get a little more front grip. The loose condition present at El Toro is gone. They had a shoot out between the top 3 non hotchkis sponsored cars and I was the 2nd fastest behing Hobaugh for the day. Your best time of the day was your dial in(28.1) and they added the difference between your dial in and 3 runs to see how consistent you were. I ended up in 3rd place as I was right in the 29-29.3 range. Not my best runs but I was conscience of hitting a cone since that was a 2 second penalty and would've took me out.
Great day and I'd like to thank John Hotchkis for the opportunity to get 12-15 runs in such a short period of time. The Famous Dave's was icing on the cake.
