That would have been cool, but unfortunately, only the "National" Events get a ticket to the shoot out and none of the Pleasanton events with an autocross are considered national. Maier is still gunning for a seat even though he got fast times at 2 events this year.

I'll have to come down this fall and hope it doesn't rain!
Well technically, all of the parts do bolt on. November is usually nice weather still. March is a crap shoot.

Optima???

In all honesty I don't know what's next. My goal for the car was to win an Good Guys Autocross, so now I guess I am done. We are just now buying a house. Our appraisal was today, so I should know soon if our loan will go through. It has a nice size 2 car garage (that could fit a lift), enough room for side yard access and is in pretty nice shape. I'll be looking for a nice little TIG and a tube bender. Once I have those, all bets are off.
