The event was well run and a car left about every 45 seconds. This easily doubled if not tripled the amount of runs. Chad as always keeps it entertaining with his great announcing. It was also great having a few shady spots in the pits, but they filled up by about 7:00AM.

The thing that surprised me was not a single street rod guy had the guts to drive his car around the track.

A lot of people where wondering where I came from. I have been at every Pleasanton event in 2012 and 2013 and working on my car and my driving: Evolution AutoX school, multiple SCCA AutoX events, hours of driving at Umigo racing go karts as well as studying Autocross racing books and reviewing my runs and other fast runs on youtube to see where I lost time.

Overall, I would say the Good Guys Autocross is great. It really breathed some life into the car show and made it exciting again.

Bravo! Great job!
