Great event! Met some more great people. It was a bit of a haul for me (just over 8 hours) but I had a blast. The auto cross was tight and short and was more a game of finesse and I managed to come in mid pack for the vintage class. Not bad cosidering I took Mary Pozzi on a cone eating firtst run. the speed stop was fun and I was getting my times down and on my fastest run I ended up with a flat front tire. I had it checked at the tire center and we could not find anything. so I had him break it down and remount it anyway. by the time this was done the session ended so I could not improve the time.
The road course was challenging because of the blind turns, elevation and camber changes. I took it easy trying to figure out the lines and to get more comfortable. As the sessions progressed the times dropped. The instructor gave me the lines to follow and all was going well until the same tire unset the bead through the chicane. No drama in the car or of track excursion so i limped it back to the pit. End of the day for me. Burned up a new Falken and damaged a wheel.
Thanks for noticing that my car was leaning Jimi!! LOL
Great experience at a great track at a great event.
