And thanks to everyone that I didn't respond directly to, I come back after the USCA Event at MIS and find 3 pages of replies! She is great, all my car friends are too. It's incredible to be able to spend time with her and with all of them together, if that makes sense.
So yeah, MIS... Came back with my first real "hardware" from an event. I was awarded the Ridetech Renegade Award! Super honored to get that as I feel it fits my philosophy of what I wanted to build. A budget (that's blown now, see Mast Motor pics above, lol) build that I could drive everyday and yet take to events and be somewhat competitive and at the least be noticed for trying. The car ran a performed exceptional all weekend. I was a little sidetracked after recieving the birthday gift (see Mast Motor pics above!) so I struggled a little in autox but ended up with a respectable time at the end of the session.
I had a blast on the roadcourse today though. MIS is pretty intimidating speed wise so there was a chicane coming out of 4 that forced a 2nd gear change and some sawing of the wheel to slide thru. Problem was not the chicane, but you speed coming upto it was 120's for me anyway. That got pretty intense a few times there. I made some small changes thru the day, but the car really was working well. So much fun.
