Thumbs up Mary P kicking butt and taking names...again!

...at today's Auto-X event at the GG show in Pleasanton,Mary ran and hid from some killer cars to take the top spot with a 36-something to best some prepped Z06's and some killer PT cars on a very tight and slippery course.
Here's a lousy picture of her on course:


A big bummer came when the Good Guys giveaway 427 Supernova lost fire on course and with hydroboost brakes,he could only hang on for the ride:




Drove off under it's own power but clearly wounded:


Oh....and Mary's a rockstar look!


Now how fricking cool is that...?

I need to call up and get me a couple of t-shirts.. maybe she could autograph them!!!

lol

Mary is generally the best driver at any event like this. It's tough to go up against new cars with stuff like anti-lock brakes.

I hope she holds onto her lead.. I heard she's opening a tire store soon..


Wish I was there with my car, but we have a ton of work left to do. Where's the video?

Course was coming apart and getting marbles all over it so I'm guessing her time will hold up...

Wow! I showed up after the wreck. Thats horrible. Mary sure was takin it to those guys. Here's a few pics I took (not that great).


This Corvette was FAST.


The One Lap Camaro. Extremely nice car!


The Maier Racing Mustang. This one ran pretty well too.


Mary was almost too fast... for my camera.

Mary is the master on that course!

Was a pleasure watching her run today. I hope they keep doing these autoX events at this GG show.

We had a blast. Mary is such a good driver, but eveyone had a good time, except the airride car. That was terrible, the crash. Those guys were great though. We ran 39's and a high 38 on our 260 invo tires (blah). We will be back tomorrow. The red vette was badass. Nothing could touch it. The one lap camaro is really nice. I thought this field was really strong.
